You can see attitudes like that in a lot of comic communities when it comes to in-universe children. No matter what their personality type is or how plot or not plot relevant they are, people are vitriolistic towards them.it's a little weird to me but thats my opinion.
Has anyone given thought to the fact that this time she killed herself which is a mortal sin.
She should not be in Heaven.
She should be visiting Sergeant Slash-Stab down in Hell.

Assuming we're following the tenants of Christianity here, that is not necessarily the case. Depends on what rules apply in this universe.

I continue to maintain that means a unicorn horn.
That's true, but in Spanish folklore an Oricuerno or Alicornio is a winged unicorn (but it has little wings in its hooves, Namor's and Hermes's style). I guess somehow the term made the jump from Spanish to English.

Putting aside a pedantic quip about "Christian tenants," the fact that indeed great is Artemis of the Ontarians seems to suggest we're not 100% on Christian rules.
...Or that these same people actually think her being "dead" will mean she's no longer around. She could easily fall under "Ghost sidekick", along with the extra screen time that implies.
Sparking now, search within your soul to find the answer! Push yourself to the edge, give 1000%!
I sincerely do not get the Abby hate. I'd like someone to spell it out for me.

Based on what I've seen it seems to stem from three different sources:
1. Abby's plans and antics often being foolish/naive or outright dumb.
2. The mere fact that she is a kid and dependent and how that effects the story.
3. Her not being sympathetic enough to the things Teddy goes through (this seems to be a particular sticking point to some, despite how little her teasing seems to actually bother Teddy himself).
She is a child (I SO hate children) who should be reigned in and has demonstrated to be too dumb to live and YET no one has put her in her place yet nor has any real consequence to her idiocy ever really affected her. She surely is a candidate for the Darwin award as we can see here but I am sure by the end of the arch she will be back in her body scot free and possibly even believing her plan was pure genius and the reason why everything worked out for the best even tho everyone else likely had to scramble and possibly risk their lives to save her annoying useless ass.
HUGS!
