In Defense of the Heapsters

A bit of a disclaimer; I’m not a huge fan of the Junkyard community storyline, but I’m invested in the show and I’m in for the ride so I feel like I want to defend them a little bit. I see sooooo many complaints about them on here and elsewhere online, the main complaint is about them not really making any sense. “Why do they talk like that it’s only been 3 years” being the main complaint.

A main theme of the show now is about putting on a performance to survive and to help others survive. Ezekiel of course is a big part of this, playing the part of a king to rally downed survivors and to give them something to fight for. Carol has played many roles since arriving at Alexandria and even Negan omits this huge, menacing and domineering personality to keep his empire in check. So my question is, why is nobody giving these attributes to the Heapsters? I’ve not seen many, if any people theorize that perhaps Jadis and her crew are just doing to the same thing to make other communities wary of them and to keep outsiders on their toes around them. It seems to me that so many fans are willing to shit and I think people should be a little more open minded when it comes to them. I think it would be good for people’s enjoyment of them if they keep in mind that they much just be performing like so many other characters we’ve seen.
