On another Reddit thread, u/ForTheSanguine noted that she is far from the most immoral character on the show, writing, "She did try to blackmail Walt, but at the same time, that being [her] only crime makes her pretty upstanding by BB's standards." In response to this, u/Dryfted pointed out that all of Jane's actions made sense: it was clear she genuinely liked Jesse and knew the money could benefit both of their lives.
And on another thread, u/chamonoto pointed out that Jane is a completely different person when she's on drugs than when she's clean (as we first meet her) and speculated that those who criticize her don't fully understand the power of addiction. Replying to this, u/No-Candidate-8867 wrote that, while they can't forgive Jane for introducing Jesse to heroin (something that they think a recovering addict shouldn't do to a recovering addict), they don't think all of the hate is justified. They continued, "As for the rest, I'm of the same mind as you. Jane was an interesting young woman who was also a drug addict in recovery, she relapsed after being triggered by Jesse, and it was tragic."
Other fans agree that, if anything, Jane's character isn't black and white — and neither is the situation. One fan, u/darkpsychicenergy, for example, wrote, "I hold them both equally responsible for pulling each other down, and it's so sad because, at first, they seemed so good together." On this note, u/Evil_Commie added, "the main point of the show was that people aren't just 'bad' or 'good,' they are complex beings with their own motivations and priorities which are formed by the environment they find themselves in."
