Setting aside what she should know, and what she should feel, about the Green Goblin and Norman Osborn as a result of a) being a police officer and b) being a childhood friend of Gwen Stacy, how does someone who a) once counted Harry Osborn among her best friends, b) was raised as an adoptive daughter by the family of Lily Hollister and c) is currently dating Peter Parker not know or feel repulsed by all the awful shit he's done, including turning Harry and Peter into cuckolds with Lily and Gwen, respectively? Okay, so we've already gone over the fact that there's no way she could be ignorant of the fact that Norman killed Gwen, and to be fair, I can understand why Peter wouldn't tell Carlie about Norman showing Gwen his Osborn-face, but Lily was like a sister to Carlie, and Harry was one of Carlie's best friends, and they all nearly got killed because pretty much everyone in the Marvel Universe assumed that Lily was carrying Norman's child, which necessarily means that everyone who got wrapped up in that bullshit, Carlie included, must know that Norman fucked Lily behind Harry's back. And this wasn't even in the distant past of a story from years ago, because this was from the arc closing out "Brand New Day" and immediately leading into "Big Time," so in Marvel sliding scale terms, all this shit might as well have happened JUST YESTERDAY.
