People treat her like she's precious because we're all road weary from all the other main female characters in every other fandom we've been in getting hated on, or pushed aside in favour of the fav slash pairing, lol.
It seems like people hold her to a higher standard than most other characters though. Like, I'm not sure her morals or actions are any worse or better than Matt's, tbh.
(Funny enough, I remember seeing a bit of Claire hate when I first got into fandom. Don't know if it's still going, but people seemed unnecessarily harsh on her for "abandoning" Matt, when all she was doing was looking out for herself).
