She's still tries to help people and we've never seen her do anything bad, per say, maybe you didn't like how she treats the other fairies like Nova or Tink, but I believe she is just trying to act in what she thinks is their best interest. At any rate, she's helped Jimminy, Pinoccio, Snow and Charming, Baelfire, etc. I just don't get the hate. I like Blue too. I don't think she's a bad person. Like any character, she has her strengths and weaknesses. She definitely does try to do things in a postive aspect. I know some felt the Blue Fairy judged Regina unfairly based on her association with Cora and Rumplestiltskin. I felt in that moment, Blue was assessing the kind of person Regina is based on the type of people she chose to surround herself with, I guess. While Regina couldn't do anything about her mother's horrible reputation for ripping out hearts, Regina did choose Rumplestiltskin as her dark arts teacher, who Blue already has a bad opinion about ever since the Baelfire-magic bean fiasco. I think that's what influenced Blue to believe Regina was a person who simply could not be helped since Rumplestiltskin already had a strong influence on her.

I also don't get why Blue should be blamed for Rumple abandoning his son. Rumplestiltskin is responsible for his own actions. Had Blue not given Baelfire the magic bean, I reckon another situation would have arisen where Rumplestiltskin would be forced to ultimately choose between his son or his power.
