She ultimately had to earn her leadership position through failures and even at the end she wasn't beloved by her people. Wuk on the other hand leads us around like we are a little puppy dog and everyone just universally likes her, able to reverse potentially centuries of xenophobic cult like behavior with simple speeches. We aren't even allowed to be indifferent to her as the few time we get options to respond in such a way, another pipes in saying that the WoL doesn't actual feel such.
Funny enough, Lyse back then was definitely railed on by the forums for being inconsiderate of peoples cultures and situations back then because she barged headfirst into every issue repeatedly without understanding. One of the biggest complaints was literally the exact same we get for Wuk now, overly present, stupid writing etc.
Wuk Lamat is actually doing the opposite of what Lyse did by trying to understand a culture before coming up with a solution etc. People here still don't like that writing either. This is why devs should not respect forum feedback, because the forums are fickle.

People here seem to have bad long term memory with regards to SB, I for one do not. The fact that we now have people defending SB writing and Lyse of all people is not only hilarious but inducing a crazy sense of whiplash.
