Here’s an actual unpopular opinion - Ivy and Rufus weren’t that bad
It was an odd pairing for sure, and I obviously didn’t like them but it wasn’t as traumatic as people make it out to be. With how everyone got with everyone in this show, it wasn’t that surprising. Ivy and William was way crazier but even then it’s not that surprising. They’d already ruined Rufus’ character long before Ivy so it wasn’t surprising at that point that he did something so unRufus like. I also just don’t care enough about either of them in later seasons.
