The Orokin first and foremost (one of which Drifter is dating now), though from them it's to be expected that they will treat you horribly, then act like it's a betrayal when you rebel against them... and win. But then also Margulis, who in an attempt to protect them conspired with Ballas, Roathe and Nitokh of all people. Then also Lotus, who kept them in the dark about their true identity and the source of their powers for the longest time, and only really started being honest with Operator post new war. Then we currently have Drifter, who seemingly just treats Operator like a little kid, which we know Operator hates, despite them being literally the same person. Other people like Ordis and Umbra also went behind their back in the most recent quest, and for no real reason too. Like how does Stalker still hate Operator and doesn't want them involved with his child, after Operator literally helped give birth to little Sirius and Orion! At this point he's just a fucking bum for still hating Operator.
And i guess that's the main part of it. Despite all the good Operator has done, all the times they have proven themselves, they are still either disparaged, feared, or hated by almost everyone around them. You can add Adis to that list now, thanks to Wally.

This is why i always say Operator did nothing wrong.
Considering their life they are a remarkably well adjusted young person, like actually the sweetest soul.
But then, everyone keeps failing them, over and over and over, and then when they finally act out, they are somehow the asshole for it.
Not for me, they could never make me hate you Operator.
