i’m sorry i just don’t get people who actually like cersei lannister like if you understand her and her struggles that’s fine and if you respect her that’s fine but if you are telling…
Hmm well yes, of course they have all done quite questionable things! But still I think the difference be that Tyrion is a compassionate person, who’s been fucked up by Tywin, and by people treating him like shit (like the way Shae purposely humiliated him in the trial), which - while it doesn’t excuse his behaviour - at least makes me understand and feel for him, as I personally believe he would much rather treat everyone with mutual decency, but just constantly gets treated badly by the people around him. Also, Tyrion uses threats to try and control/manipulate people, including Cersei as in the case of Tommen being raped; and that’s of course not a terrific trait to have, but it bears notice that he was bluffing and never intended to actually harm Tommen.
… meanwhile Cersei – ho boy, Cersei – gives people to Qyburn so he can conduct experiments on and torture them (including people who consider her a friend and have supported her, because they are a liability – at least give them a clean death if that’s what you imagine is needed!), had fucking children and babies killed because Robert was their father, bullies Tommen, had Lady killed for no other reason but to get back at the Starks, and set up Maegery and her handmaidens to try and have them killed because they were get along with Tommen too well. I agree with OP; I understand her motives, I understand her feelings, and I understand her frustrations and the reason she’s scared and defensive. But as a person, she’s fucking vindictive, cruel, conniving, jealous, paranoid, petty, actively takes pleasure in hurting people if she feels they have wronged her in any way (however small or imagined!) and she just does not give a flying fuck about anybody who’s not herself, her children, or Jaime. Again, I can sympathize with her, and I can wish her well, but if I met this woman in the real world I would run the other way.
