I think the only argument for "blaming writers" at this point is in changes to the anime that were not in the manga. And I'm sure cases could be made for a number of characters, I would imagine.
I'm not interested in sitting and blaming the writers for anything at this point though (except maybe how assault is treated). Once I go through the anime, I'll see about the manga, and then maybe I can make some judgements from there.
Maybe it's because I'm not as far enough along and I'll feel different once I catch up, but we'll see. Ultimately, we get what the creators give us. And I do have series where I think the mangaka dropped the ball (and some admitted as much, too), but I don't think they make good foundations for arguments, just admitting that there is a fail that I or someone else wish didn't happen. But the better route to go is to see this as their story, and the best counter is the write your own story that is actually better.
That's what I think, anyway.
