Okay, I know this has been addressed as a side issue in a couple threads, but I have never got an answer that satisfied me. So, maybe a thread dedicated to elusive answer will draw it out of you people.
Why do you hate Bonnie? I mean, yeah you will find that she can be a royal B**** once in a while. But how many people here can honestly say that the have never been a b**** before? There are many examples, both in RL and in many stories from many different genres in which the "minor protagonist" becomes "one of the good guys" and/or goes their own way to find "redemption".
All in all Bonnie has never really been evil, maybe "high school evil", but that's no reason to treat her the way I've seen her treated. I mean at the mere mention of her name some people's first reaction is something to the effect of throwing something at her (I've seen a shoe more often than not) or hurling insults.
Now some people may say that the only reason I am defending her is because she is "hot"... That actually played no part in my thought process about this. I just think that we should try to see the best in others (even if they are just an animated object).

I don't hate Bonnie...I just don't like her,that all... Same here. Anyway, if your question is more on why she is in the "Villains" thread....that's easy. She is not a friend of Kim & Ron, so it wouldn't be appropriate to classify her in "Rufus, Kim & Me"....and she's never nice to both of them either (except when Ron's became a millionaire for a short while, but that's because she has "other" motives). With exception of one occasion in Bonding when she co-operate for a very short while with Kim to knock down Prof Dementor, she has never really provided any help to Kim, instead she always try to bring Kim's morale down (Ref : Crush, Kimitation Nation, Queen Bebe, Hidden Talent, Rewriting History, Bonding, So the Drama etc....and the list go on....).

I like the girl but then again I've always liked the out spoken female character in a series. I tend to very much dislike the shy quiet type of girl and Bonnie definitely doesn't fit that. In the end I guess the answer to your question is it depends on the person. Some people hate Bon-Bon cause they've had that type make them miserable or seen that type make other people miserable. Others like Bon-Bon cause she cracks them up. I'm one of those.

I find it hard to hate her when trying to understand her position. Bonnie is the youngest of three children. Her mother still treats her like a child. She has two older twin sisters who have graduated but are still living at home. Her sisters often put her down and make her feel bad.
Bonnie tries to compensate for the bad feelings she has for herself by making others feel inadequate. She wants to feel superior. One obstacle keeps getting in the way of that superiority: Kim Possible. If not for her, Bonnie would have all the popularity and praise that she craves.
It's more than rivalry for these two. Kim also craves to be the best. This places her and Bonnie constantly at odds, battling who will be supreme. The sad thing is, Bonnie loses. Not even twelve years of hard training in ballet couldn't help her win the talent show. This only makes her more angry.
So Bonnie isn't a bad guy, nor should she be hated. She shouldn't be liked either. Her attitude makes it hard forgive her.

She's cold, shallow, vindictive, cruel, and would kick you when you're down if it'd make her feel better. You can try to be friends with her all you want and you may make some headway, but if the price is right, she'll sell you out to advance herself.
...and that's just the nice stuff I have to say about her.

As a character, I love Bonnie. If she were a real person, I'd likely despise her. She's designed to be hated, to stand as a "normal world" enemy of Kim's. That kind of makes me wish they had left the "High school evil" part in So The Drama

But we all know that she represents the "normal world" enemy of Kim's. How do you not know that? Unless you're an 8 year old.

I don't hate Bonnie. I mean, she's hot, and is probably a decent student. It's kinda hard to like an ice queen Those shoes are mine, betch., though. Know what I'm saying?

I <3 Bonnie, she's just misunderstood. Thank you nabu *pat on the shoulder*, I agree 100%. Bonnie rocks . Kareem has it right. I like the girl but then again I've always liked the out spoken female character in a series. I tend to very much dislike the shy quiet type of girl and Bonnie definitely doesn't fit that. In the end I guess the answer to your question is it depends on the person. Some people hate Bon-Bon cause they've had that type make them miserable or seen that type make other people miserable. Others like Bon-Bon cause she cracks them up. I'm one of those. I will be honest here, I was never part of the "popular" crowd in high school. I was one of the average joe's that seemed to blend into the woodwork, but outside of school, I was pretty close to some of the "popular" kids that were considered the arses and b****es in school by my other friends and found myself defending the popular kids because of this. Maybe it's just part of me now to give people a chance. Some of the people that are ice queens only do that to keep people away, because allowing someone to get close means that they are opening up enough that they could get hurt. And they've been hurt in the past and don't want that to happen again.

I don't hate her either. Just her personality and meanness makes her unlikable. She has her moments like in "Bonding", but she was created (by Disney) to be Kim's high school rival, thus she doesn't come across as a friendly person. I can understand her family life is the pits (two mean older sisters), but if she can stand up to her family, as she could toward Kim, I'm sure she can least find some measure of peace.
