2) I explained why it's badly written on Blake's part. She has ex who is obsessed with her. Sun's behavior is a red flag. One with Blake's past should pay attention to those.

3) It's only slightly hyperbolic. He should still be nowhere near as close to her as he should be with his team (and other friends and/or family). And nowhere near close enough to her to get on a boat without knowing where to or for how long - that's the point.

4) The only way for Sun stalking Blake and her being ok with it is not bad characterization of Blake is that if she has learned nothing from her experience with Adam. If that's the case, I hope the writers make her learn her lesson soon 1) No one has a good opinion on the WF. Not even the WF characters have a good opinion of it. Thing is, on the Heroes side, Sun and Weiss are pretty much the only ones that talk about the WF, and Sun only does because Blake talks about them even more, much of her characters is based around the WF and the "Faunus Discrimination".

The modern WF that Sun knows are violent racist terrorists who attack anyone as if it would help the Faunus look any better. It would be insane if Sun did not have a low opinion about them.

2) If you think that is bad writing on Blake's part, you're being quite idiotic. Plain and simple, iditioc. All you talk about is Sun being a creepy stalker, nothing to do with Blake. Thinking that Sun's behavior is bad writing on Blake's part is quite the Insane Troll Logic, in TvTropes speak.

3) His family is in Vacuo. It's not like a giant meteor fell there. It's only natural that he wouldn't be thinking much about his family for the moment.

With his teammates, it's a fairier point. Though at least with Neptune, his relationship with him is "Best Buds", instead of "I got a crush on you". He's closer to Blake than he is to Neptune. And to be fair, you can say the same about V1-3 Blake. RWY and Blake were best friends and all, but Sun was the one she showed any sort of real affection for beyond mere friendship.

It's not bad writing however. People in real life also care more about the people they love than the people they just get along with. The whole "stalking Blake across Sanus up to a boat to the butt of the world" is questionable, however. But Sun was never the smartest guy.

4) Did you somehow miss the scene where she literally slapped him in the face after their fight with the Sea Dragon? Did you somehow miss the scene where she slapped him twice in the face after he didn't stop being so intrusive?

Blake did not like what Sun did, at all. It was quite obvious. She tolerated it, however, because it was also quite obvious that Sun meant no harm, it was done with good intentions, and he simply did not know why she ran away.

Basically, he was an idiot, but not an asshole like Adam, he never swore to kill everyone she loves and all that. It's just that sufficiently-advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.
