Someone was claiming that Cheetara was completely innocent, that she was a “victim” in all this. No she wasn’t, and some portion of the blame for this “triangle” should be assigned to her.

Let me put it like this:

-Lion-O alone is not to blame for the triangle.

-In “Between Brothers” (BB) Cheetara admits that she was the source of some the brothers’ rivalry.

-The question is, when exactly did she realise this.

-If she realised this before BB but still continued providing “support” to Lion-O, then she was unfair to Lion-O because she had made her choice years ago. If he did not stand a chance, she should have made that clear and stopped sending him “mixed signals.”

-If she did not realise it until BB when she was told what happened in the Astral Plane then she’s just socially inept.

This is also how the writers really ruined Cheetara’s character.

All three of them do deserve a certain amount of the blame, the origin of triangle started because Cheetara decided to be supportive to Lion-O. Tygra decided to let his jealous behavior get the best of him. Lion-O just assumed she wanted him in blissful ignorance. However when it's all said and done, Cheetara came out looking like a manipulative woman who was playing with their emotions and betrayed Lion-O. Tygra got his girl. Lion-O was the victim within the right to lash out at Cheetara. Cheetara became the victim for all the blame and scorn for the whole triangle.

Between Brothers because of circumstances by the brothers to come forward with it. They nearly killed each other because they didn't have the sense to ask. The romance was just part of the list of issues they had.

The biggest problem with the triangle is that Cheetara was doing all of this "flirting" work. Lion-O didn't really flirt back with her like how he was with Pumyra. For a chance of romance to work, it requires both partners to do their share of the work. It really wasn't until she got with Tygra that we see how she really flirts.

The most damage the Triangle did was how Lion-O in the following 2 episodes after Tygra/Cheetara coupled, allowed his anger fuel his decisions. Both times in succession, the enemies were able to surprise the group.
