If you think that, then you haven't thought about her character very much.
Trauma form being abused as a child by her father.
Only friend is Forrest, who is retarded, and says he loves her.
Think about it from Jenny's perspective from one moment. She would see anything sexual with him as abuse.
Yep, she is a product of the environment she was raised in. Beaten and sexually abused, got into drugs, she had a rough life. She didn't have the ability to treat Forrest decently. Abused typically become abusers unfortunately. She definitely deserves some of the hate she gets for her behavior, but she isn't a top tier villain. Hell, even the kids harassing and throwing rocks at Forrest are worse than her in that same movie. They did that shite often from childhood to high school.

Is there any way possible Forest Jr is his kid? She’s fricked her way through North America and fricked Forest once. I’m supposed to believe that’s legitimately his kid? Nope. She heard how much Forest was worth and pawned him on off on the gullible rahtard before she succumbed to AIDS.

Does it affect the analysis that she was raised by a violent drunk single dad who molested her? It seems like once she got over her demons she was good.
ETA: and of course has already been discussed in detail.
Rose was just a spoiled self-centered bitch using jack to rebel and act out against her mother and other controlling people. Once she was done with him she let him die.

I always wondered that as well. I mean, just because they both watched Sesame Street and tilted their heads at the same time doesn't mean they are father/son.
From Jenny's perspective, I don't blame her for wanting to pawn her kid off on Forest. She knows that kid will be heavily loved and taken care of for life, whether it's really his kid or not. And she knows he wouldn't question if it's his kid or not too, so she manipulated that as well.
Is there a chance it's really Forest's kid? Sure, I guess. But it is very highly unlikely though. And I hope Forest never found out the truth and lived his life believing it was his kid, since that was the best possible future for both of the Forests.
While I feel for Jenny and her upbringing, it's not excuse for her to treat Forest the way she does in most situations. Being abused doesn't give you carte blanche to treat people like shite for no reason. So while I do think Jenny may be the biggest piece of shite ever, I don't know if I'm onboard with worst villain of all time. She's horrible, but man some of the villains were just pure evil (like Tavington for example, as someone mentioned earlier).

If you fell asleep during the part where they blow up Aleraan, then it's pretty easy to watch the rest of Star Wars without really knowing what is so bad about the Empire.

Forrest was always well off compared to her and would have taken care of her at any point. It didn't really look like she ever used him for his money prior to that. Forrest wasn't going to have any children and most likely would have taken care of the kid if she asked him and told him it wasn't his kid. She was a shitty person for sure, but Forrest wasn't a shitty person. He cared about her and that kid may break the cycle of abuse in her family by being raised by Forrest.
He may have not contributed to making the kid, but he damn sure is the father at the end of the movie and that's ok with me. Just like anyone that comes from good adoptive homes.

Spoiler - she was the heroine in the book and Forrest was the a-hole.
No, I am not kidding.

I'm not sure how clearly this has to spelled out, Jenny didn't treat Forrest badly for "no reason" as many people seem to imply.
(1) She pushed away anyone who cared for her because she had no self-esteem
(2) She sought out abusers because that's what she was taught was normal "love"
(3) She knew Forrest was in love with her and she could never love him back romantically because he was handicapped
Under those circumstances, playing along with him and his infatuation would actually be the worst thing she could do.

- Degenerate drug addict and whore.
- Ran out on Forrest multiple times.
- Only came back when she was dying basically for the gravy train.
- Didn't allow Forrest to see his own son during his early years.
- Got Forrest into multiple fights.
And maybe most egregious:
- Made Forrest jizz himself.

I have her 2nd behind grandpa Joe from willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.

She is as evil as they come.

That movie was so good.
It showed that even a retard who just kept their head down and did what they were supposed to could be world renown and successful in life while a hippy activist living out the counterculture of that period was doomed to misery....and ends up relying on the retard to make things right.

You know Rose dumps Jack if he survives the minute they get to Port.
She used him because she was too scared to stand up to her mother and Billy Zane (cool guy)
Jack was nothing but a shield, a fling to hide her lack of courage and strength in character.
She made Jack her proxy, seduced him to fight her battles and then wouldn't share the fricking door not even asking if he wants out of the water.
