i feel like our generation is getting so obsessed with trying not to be "pick me's" while trying to call everyone out for being one..
@Louis Kingsta that's exactly how i feel. everyone wants to be "not basic" or a "crackhead" but that's exactly what a pick me is. and then when someone has an honest genuine unpopular opinion, they're like "omg ur so quirky" like.. what if they are?
@@Breathefreemylove and at the end of the day who cares? some people are basic, some people aren't. it's unfair how some people can't be themselves for whatever reason, even if it's basic. we all die anyways and as long as nobody's hurt then who even cares
@@Breathefreemyloveo please
@@repent. I know, it’s just silly
@@za.warudo. wonyoung is pick me lmao i cant forget that strawberry scene. fakest sht ever
Everybody is Wednesday until the Barbie movie comes out and suddenly everyone is Barbie. Personalities have become a trend
Fr can’t wait to see the switches up
My personality is constantly Patrick Jane 🗿
Plsss this
Someone said it.
Well said
I love how you pointed out that we are all a form of pick-me by just being human- we all just want to be accepted into a group of people we like/admire, and that isn't a bad thing! It's how we go about finding that acceptance that matters :) Wonderful video as always, Zoe!
Because stupid libfems have watered down what pickme actually means, it used to just be a tradthot who pretends to be right wing for male validation but now its any quirky and slightly insecure girl looking for belonging and love.
She does a whole video outlining this TikTok trend I recommend it ❤
No, I'm rather trying to find people that like things I like. Being authentic>>>>>>>>>>being popular.
@Louis Kingsta well, that's what I said exactly.
I feel like people don't really know what pick me actually mean
As a goth, I’m happy that people are starting to find us cool and interesting, but the only thing that really upsets me is a lot of people will say things like “I love Wednesday” “Wednesday is so cool”, but the second they see a real goth person in real life, they bully them. And that just doesn’t sit well with me
THIS. Is kinda interesting to have our personal style becoming suddenly "trendy" among the same people that look bad at us, criticize and dispize our preferences.
It just shows how most people have no personality or critical thinking. They fall so easily for Idols and embrace a whole aesthetic concept when it is well promoted (Wednesday sells the "boss girl" fantasy) until another imagery fad comes in and they go back in hating what is "exotic".
I see goth people as best buds to me since my aesthetic is punk/rock/grunge. Ik they not the same but y'all have similar quality like us and I love that. 🖤🤍
I really identified with Wednesday as an autistic woman. But it's the same for me: as a concept, people find characters interesting, but they don't accept them up close....
Agree
Ikr, people are in it for the look, just posers. They singled out the goth, emo, any alt kids for not looking like the trend but now its the trend to dress in black but they don't fit the part because they never had the same tough experiences, music, and culture.
People are just copycats. No identity of their own. Wednesday is popular now until the next popular character comes out.
THISSSS
Exactly. Dark aesthetics is just a very exuberant one, catchs the eye. But is like many others that come and go.
People just love scapism, whatever color pallet it has, they just want visual stimulation for fantasy. Tomorrow the next "it girl" will be a colorfull, sunny barbie and the cycle repeats.
Exactly Euphoria was popular and people were making edits of Alexa Demie and Sydney Sweeney and now Jenna Ortega 🤔😂
@x҉ The point is not the dressing style, but there are people who change their whole personalities along with that style according to what is popular.
Waa truly said
I really like the video but I think you missed one point - Jenna is VERY pretty. Was she not that gorgeous and looking less socially acceptable she wouldn't be such a hit. That's why a lot of people can relate to her being weird and an outcast but they did not receive the same treatment - if you are not in the beauty standards you are treated worse. Sad but true, pretty privilege is real
agree. most of the people participating in the "trend" are also conventionally attractive. And yes, Wednesday's actress is beautiful, which makes her character (and by extension her aesthetic) more appealing.
Good point, this is very true
I was thinking the same. Thanks for pointing it out!
this is so true
correct, and this point was extremely important, don’t know why she missed it
Everyone wants to be Wednesday Addams till someone irl actually acts like her unintentionally
cus when real people irl don't feel empathetic or unintentionally upset someone it's misconstrued (usually by allistic people) as a disrespect or worse
Yup. I. I very much act like Wednesday, my family is very fond with of martial arts and I’m autistic so I tend to speak my mind. I got called a robot and psychopath because of my delayed emotional responses. I’m not a goth though lol. I love pastel colors and cute things. But having her personality be constantly romanticized by the media feels..embarrassing to say the least. Can’t wait for something else to become popular so people stop staring at me like creeps! ^^
Yeah, why would you wanna befriend someone who degrades you, your hobbies and you all the time? In real life no one would wanna befriend/date her because she’s an unlikeable person. But she’s a fun character
That’s the funny part. She’s hard to be liked irl.
@@cosmic_seabunny I AGREE, I always had an ego that I thought was simiilar to Wednesday. I'm autistic aswell so I relate to you on a high level. I can be very deadpan, sarcastic, and I've been called a "psychopath" a lot of times, I've always been the odd one out unfortunately
While Wednesday is confident and antithetical to a lot of pop cultural norms for young girls and women- I think a major reason why her character is so popular and so compelling is because she does fit one of the most important norms in larger society. She’s pretty and thin. If all of her character traits remained the same but she was played by an average or unattractive actress- I don’t think she’d be viewed nearly as cool or aspirational to most as she currently is. While her beauty doesn’t present in pink and glitter- it is still an obvious form of beauty- one that ticks off multiple boxes in the euro beauty standard- young, thin, white/ fair skin, symmetrical face.
That’s my opinion, anyway.
That has been on my mind too. She's super pretty, so no wonder that she and her aesthetic got so popular. Attractiveness gains attention.
BRO fr beauty is everything nowadays its hella annoying
Absolutely agree! Imagine someone like Lena Dunham played Wednesday with exact same script. Series would tank, no one would ever try to be anything like her. People are still enchanted with skin deep beauty, youth and great body. Lets not pretend it's all about her personality.
@@shahbanoaurangzeb8251 it's always been, hasn't it?
This a main reason why I started getting interested on the show.
To me I like her because she doesn’t pretend in any scenario. You can tell when people pretend to me happy or find something funny when they don’t.
She tells it how it is fr
People adore her because shes mean yet people try to be friends with her. In reality a person like her would be painfully alone, not have two love interests fight for her. She doesnt need people yet she can have them if she wants without trying.
@@goldenapple3952 its just a show dear. Most romance stories are unrealistic. Cause real life romance would be boring as a movie.
P
@Louis Kingsta do
As a goth girl, I used to get called Wednesday Addams as an INSULT. Now everyone wants to be her lmao
Same here
SAAAME!
I’m not goth but I’ve still always been called Wednesday because I guess i give off solemn vibes. 😂 I’ll be wearing pink and be happy but I’ll look depressed 😂
@@Isabelle-Cassels same here hahahahahha
I use to be called Morticia, I still get that. Ive always seen it as a compliment.
I suspect that the people who have recently become obsessed with Wednesday actually aspire to imitate her aesthetics, while completely overlooking her values: hard work, passion, fighting social injustice and, most importantly, not pretending to be someone she’s not (like a fictional character, for instance).
Also being overly violent when it comes to people or things she doesn't like. /:
Just like they did with Effy Stonem from Skins, everybody wanted to be her but nobody really saw her
@@user-dt4rq3jj2s who cares lol
@@lessismore8533 probably not the best thing you could've said but whatever
People are shallow, just shallow
Its rlly annoying that now suddenly everyone wants to be her or dress like her when I literally use to get made fun of for doing that exact thing…. People use to make fun of my friends and I for wearing tons of black and heavy makeup being in the goth/emo crowd in high school. Use to get asked if we worshipped satan on the daily and had people spread rumors tht thought we were witches and it got so bad that in college i threw away all my clothes out of fear i’d be outcasted again there. Luckily i came to my senses sophomore year of college and proudly stomp around in my 4in black mary janes and black dresses in public but damn it fucking sucks seeing all the people who use to bully you for acting a certain way suddenly love it cause its now trendy 🙄
Ikr, people are in it for the look, just posers. They singled out the goth, emo, any alt kids for not looking like the trend but now its the trend to dress in black but they don't fit the part because they never had the same tough experiences, music, and culture.
next time someone ask you if you worship satan just spit out some eldritch noises they'll be gone in no time :D It's good to hear that you went back to your old style, people are stupid af
oh lord
So what if they changed their mind? Wheres the problem?
@@icy9308 fr
I like the series except her love interests. Tyler oozes the every guy troupe(It's overplayed nowadays) and Xavier is that person on high school u give 2 seconds of attention and thinks u like them.
I love Wednesday's confidence and style 🎀
nah fr the love triangle thing made me so mad, it could’ve done without it imo. not every show needs love interests but ig that’s impossible to avoid
Wednesday: Gives the boys no signs of interest whatsoever and only uses them to pursue her goals
Tyler and Xavier: OMG why won’t you date me we clearly like me!! 😠😠😠
Ooh I'm in the minority here. I'll explain why. I don't think it's a love triangle at all. I think Tyler consciously manipulated her and very successfully so. Everybody in the comments praises Wednesday for being "above it all". This is again something I disagree with. She makes a good show of acting this way, but any human being craves attention, Wednesday is no exception. Tyler seems to know it and manipulates her well. Most likely he's also getting pointers from Cristina Ricci's character, though I wish it was shown. With Xavier...that one is infatuated, but I don't think it's mutual, so in the end...it's not really a love triangle. It's calculated manipulation from Tyler and a rather annoying infatuation from Xavier...
@@victoriapeay3019 THAT RLLY ANNOYED ME
Agreed. I thought that Tyler was okay and Xavier was like a Dollar Tree combination of Eren Yeager and Jean Kirstein from Attack on Titan.
As a loner and outcast myself, it amazes me how people can see loners/outcasts in pop culture as "cool" when they're "aesthetic". People never tried to understand the nature of introverts, loners, outcasts in real life. Most of us are looked down upon, bullied, misunderstood or disrespected in one way or another just because we don't fit in (or because we don't have a Jenna Ortega level of beauty)
Previously, when you were associated with Wednesday, you were bullied because of your behavior
Now when you are associated with Wednesday, you are being bullied because you are trying to be "not like other girls"
It's hard to be a goth.
@siân diann its human nature to want to be better than others. The humans that passed down their genes and survived had many of these genetic traits.
so it's okay to be bitter and think you're not like other people too? We are all the damn same, we just want to be accepted and connected to other people. Not bullied, not ostracized. Learn the damn truth. You are just as bitter and hurt as other "pick me"s are.
Well, I hope you don’t act like Wednesday in totality. The whole point of the show is that she changes in the important ways, such as learning to open her mind just as others need to. She was as much of a hypocrite for brushing off Enid as people are to brushing off her.
@@NoFirstNoLastName "i hope you don't act like Wednesday" like goths can only have her to be their role model 💀💀💀
You loose the whole point of my comment
@@yukiandkanamekuran that is funny how i said something and random person in comments just proved my point.
Calling everyone pick me is a pick me behavior btw. We all know that people are calling each other pick me just to feel better than anybody.
Love this video! Also, an opinion of mine: I get uncomfortable thinking of the people who adore Wednesday's weirdness but would be horribly judgemental in real life. It kinda hurts knowing that they'll only be accepting if there's a safe barrier between themselves and the unconventional- fiction :/
it’s the “ppl wanna be an x person in fictional stories but pick on any x person in real life”
Yes, exactly 😆the people doing theses dances on tiktok are probably the ones who would have bullied me in highschool for being just that😆
As a goth and generaly outcast I can atest that and never believed in this "love" for the weird ones. The shy and weird character are just loved in books/movies because they are always acompanied by a set of highly desirable charscteristics (beauty, super powers, being "naturally" high achiever etc) making them actually "superior" in social hierarquy.
Also, the whole narrative force people to see beyond the "weirdness" and stereotypes by focusing on the character, something that doesn't have a chance to happen in real life since people reject others very fast when they don't fit in.
yes because fiction is not reality
Growing, I kinda had Wednesdays personality, and people steered away from me. I was going through a dark period in my life (I still sorta have the same humor as her though). But everyone back then thought i was a weirdo and absolutely shunned me. Now all of a sudden, having Wednesday adams personality is popular, and it's ridiculous. I guarantee, when the Barbie movie comes out, everyone is gonna want to be a Barbie
the thing with wednesday as a character is that she doesn't actively distinguish herself from girls her age but also literally everyone her age. Some interpretations of her character as a Neuro-divergent person make sense and do her character more justice than the "I'm not like other girls" trope.
ND twitter also pointed out that if Wednesday acted the way she did in real life, she wouldn't be considered a badass but more of a loser. Again, Wednesday remaining indifferent to it because her priorities in life are very different than people her age.
people like Wednesday as an aesthetic not as a person.
Thats what i was thinking too. Like in the show wednesday ends up being rlly popular and im like .. yeah if i acted like that i would be the LEAST popular student in school not the other way around
@@snowbird7254 pretty sure i've lost friends in school due to being too honest or rude..turns out i was right but also i have ADHD so fun times.
not just nd, any person can tell that
I read her as an autistic girl who doesn't naturally smile, got made fun of as a kid for things (supportive family but horrible society), realized she'll only be happy if she punishes people for how they treated her/her family (possibly developed sociopathy or depression), and basically lost any normal sense of emotions she may have had. She's cool and aesthetic but there's probably a lot of trauma underlying (this backstory I made up could be projection though). The aesthetic is valid but it's very hard to fully be Wednesday if you have a happy social life. And if you try to be her and still bully people you're more like the girl she tortured in the summer camp scene in Addams Family Values lol
@@byakuyatogami2905 this is so true, and makes a lot of sense. Everyone likes Wednesday for her "relatableness" or her witty comebacks but only few understand that she's not being sarcastic.
I feel like if Jenna Ortega was not conventionally attractive, no one would want to do her Dance or idolize her so much.
Jup. I never fully watched it but I got bullied my whole autistic life for some traits people love about Wednesday. Huh 0_0
She's not really conventionally attractive. She has a big strong jaw, 'big' nose, a round not button shaped nose.And while her lips are big, they aren't wide, and the bottom lip is way bigger. And by no means I'm saying she's ugly, just not the conventional attractive type.
@@jlmop-fc8lv well but the people seen as most beautiful like Angelina Jolie got special features too. Being "perfect" makes you pretty but not very attractive. She's surely in the top 0.5% or even less. Conventionally attractive means that most people See it that Way and that's def the case.
yeah if she was considered unattractive her dance would probably be called cringe and there'd be so many memes making fun of it
Very true. Not to mention how she is definitely feeding into the whole Wednesday look and personality when she use to literally wear neon clothes and colorful outfits. You could tell her older self took a lot of inspiration from Ariana grandes wardrobe and was even her for Halloween. Now she constantly wears black, loads of eyeliner and talks more subtle. She use to be more colorful and smile Alot more but now idk it seems forced I guess
nah 'cause people are obsessed with wednesday but they have bullied me for being like her all my life
Same. All I took from it is - it's okey to be weird but you have to be conventionally attractive to get away with it.
Yep, me too.
this!!! it’s apparently cool if someone is socially isolated with a unique style and odd personality on a tv show, but irl these people get bullied to hell. i grew up very socially isolated due to ill health and had very intense interests etc, and i definitely didn’t have wednesday’s list of ppl lining up to be her boyfriend etc lol
same here. it doesn’t work in real life. the "quiet, resting b face, liking scary stuff, no friends" kind of kid was me. except i wasn't confident like wednesday. but i felt lonely and judged. definitely wasn’t new IT girl 💀
Same I just so sad how a lot of people always say “I want to be friends with someone like her” but in real life we are called freaks. (?
It’ll pass. The same thing happened with Hoyeon from Squid Games. People were obsessed with her and the character for a hot minute. Then the euphoria girls etc. I think it’s pretty harmless. And it’s been going on since the beginning of time. Women in the 90s all had to have the “Rachel cut” from friends.
Edit- so I don’t think she’s necessarily popular because she’s not like the other girls. It’s because she’s a pretty girl in a popular show
Agree! It’s just the trends cycling through, as they always do. It’s not like this phenomenon is new in any way.
I agree with you and I also think that pointing at another woman and screaming pick me is peak pick me behaviour. Just let girls enjoy things as long as they're harmless... Jenna Ortega is beautiful and the series is popular, why demonize girls liking her or wanting to participate in a trend?
It did they find the entire show cringy now
When talking about this show, people constantly shows the scenes closer to Ortega's face, centered, like she is the only person you see when you enter a room.
With this obsession about Wednesday appearance, can we really say that people dream about not caring about others opinion? Or rather that they dream to make people obssessed with them by having the same confidence that Wednesday have? I think that we dream about giving the APPEARANCE of not giving a f, and to watch people be obsessed with us. But liking even the thought of that makes us automatically care about what others think about us, making it impossible to really be like Wednesday. She is always so pretty, aesthetically pleasant to look at (clothes, makeup, etc), but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't care in the same way if she was a conventionally "bad looking" girl in black sweatpants with greasy hair having a quiet panic attack in her dorm because she is forced to share her space with a person she doesn't know.
We underestimate the power of looks. You just need to be pretty like Jenna so everything it would be considered charming/cool and not weird, even wearing a garbage bag. That's sad cuz us weird not great looking kids who found ourselves in those sub cultures like emo, anime, etc, are losing every comfort place for trends.
i hate the "im not other girls" phase.
its annoying because what are 'other girls"
i just dont understand because no one is like anyone.
no matter what ur gender is
Agreed. It’s so dehumanising of other people. If you have a basic level of respect and understanding of other people, you know that everyone is different and some fashion trends that people share do not take away people’s individuality
@@myrtila mhm
'Not like other girls' was made up by idiot dudes, who have never actually met other girls. The term is usually played up by hetero women because guess what!? A lot of us were groomed at a young age to want the attention of mostly boys and to be in a relationship or die alone.
Did you forget this? Were you ignorant to how people treated each other? It's not real and no one is similar to each other. I can agree with you on some things, but our life experiences/traumas make us very different.
@@FeralFelineFriend calm down
you dont even make sense
it was just a thought jeez
i think we all were but i still have my own mind and i am old enough to see through peoples bullshit so
yessssss yes. and a lot of people in the comments seem to be still in it. we're all the damn same, some of us are just bitter.
I hate the "im not like other girls" mentality because some girls just dont fit in and the "im not like other girls" thing makes it seem like every girl who is herself is only diffrent becuase she wants set herself apart from others. For example im a girl who loves metal, i ride dirtbikes, i wear very extreme makeup, and i am a very blunt and honset person. so many people throw me in the " im not like other girls" bullshit cause im myself. I dont think of myself reaitve to other people, im just me. And i think thats how alot of use so called "werid girls" feel. The "not like other girls" idea is just anthor way to shame women for liking things.
Basically this. And the "not like other girls" shaming always comes from other women. Specifically, women jealous of those of us just doing our own thing and the boy/man they like likes us more for that. It's sad.
This. Not every woman or girl who is different is doing it for attention or male validation. I am childfree by choice and it is not for attention or male validation or to appear different, despite what others think
this!
there's a difference between doing your own thing and having unconventional interests and shaming other people who do fit the box better and demonizing femininity/other girls!!
It's because we came almost full circle, in around 2012 it was cool to be not like other girls (hipster trend) and something a lot of girl strived for and praised other girls for (that's why there's so many cringy comics from that era), then people started to hate girls with that mentality and turned it into something you definitely shouldn't be, now pretty much any girl that isn't super basic will be shamed and accused for being nlog and pick me etc. In reality it's just people hating on girls and women and having no self insight on their own misogyny, the funny thing is though that I see guys making memes all the time about how quirky boys are compared to girls (girl with a time machine meeting her grandma, boy with a time machine doing some quirky and badass) for example. But of course it's always been okay for guys to be a multifaceted beings
I love heavy metal, grunge and alt styles, Sonic the Hegehog (I love my comfort character, Shadow) playing games, reading fanfiction, playing Gacha club, wearing hoodies, anime, art, nightcore, etc
And I was called a pick me and a attention seeker- 💀
We just wanna be loved by everyone without the work of being emotionally available
This💯
And what happens is that while everyone loves you... nobody likes you. And that is the loneliest feeling in the world.
yeah cool n all but looking for validation by being someone you're not is shallow
@@bbew2914 unless your trolling than it becomes fun. Its like a game.
If you don’t like your own personality, no need to copy and be someone else, be unique and create a whole new persona 🖤
As someone who had been a “Wednesday” my whole life it’s kind of weird to see other people wanting to have her personality but when I have a similar personality to Wednesday I get judged 🙃
Same .
LOL my dad was going to name me wendesday when I was born fr fr. I've been called it all my life as a nickname, never bothered me though
Same here I have the personality that is off putting and I look "normal" kinda not into black or anything so I get approached a lot and then people think I hate them or think I'm strange and stop messing with me. So atleast I know it's not how I look it's just who I am as a person. 😭
Tbh it'd probably cause she's pretty & portrayed as cool
@siân diann yeah it seems more like a fantasy. She's in a school pf monsters yet she's the quirky one
what leaves me a sour after taste is how some of these people who claim to love this character were the very same people who bullied us for being like Wednesday
Because you’re not Wednesday?its that hard to get?😭
For real, I was always an awkward emo bitch who’d dress in mostly black. People made fun of me for not being “black enough” or that I was trying to be white- because I was a smartie and didn’t know how to dance. Those same people turn around and do Wednesdays dance as if it’s a revelation for a new dancing era
@@justdayana_
I think what they meant is that these people claim to be into Wednesday because of her style and personality but these are the same people who bullied people who acted and dressed exactly like her for being 'weird'.
@@justdayana_ they don't mean people who pretended to be her dumbass they mean people who dressed goth/had blank faces/were socially outcasts
THANK YOU for making this video. it just pisses me off sm that all my friends who have watched wednesday are now like “oh yeah wednesdays addams is so me 💀 i can relate to her alot!!” when in reality they’re polar opposite 😭😭😭
Frr. It’s like they’re personalities are literally based on the new trend
It’s the “literally me” meme but unironically
I’ve always seen a bit of Wednesday inside of myself (being interested in more “morbid” subjects, having dark humor, etc.) and to me this trend started out as a breath of fresh air. I used to be looked down upon for joking about subjects that make people uncomfortable (primarily death), but I assumed with the series coming out, people would learn to accept people like that more. People were expressing their inner Wednesday, and yes the show was amazing (I’ve also been a fan of Jenna since Stuck In The Middle and think she did a phenomenal job), but honestly the trend has gotten out of hand and no longer caries it’s original meaning to me.
Hey Jess Mariano xDD
We should be friends 😃
Honestly even tho im bubblier, some of my friends made fun of me for being depressive at times bcz i haven't gome thru anything traumatizing. Im told i need to smile more and be more talkative like my cousins. Yet i know that these friends and cousins would love Wednesday coz she is a savage
no no, go back, keep it going. keep that internal, first idea going. the world is changing because of us, that's a good thing. sure, there's chaos, but that's to be expected.
I mean people aren’t obligated to be into stuff
All my life I've been getting comments saying i am a lot like Wednesday, but it's usually mocking my lack of facial expressions, voice inflections, interests and style than a compliment, so it's very weird to see everyone love her so much now.
It's like they only like people like Wednesday in theory.
it's because all of these are neurodivergent traits. people love neurodivergent coded characters because of their quirky characteristics that they can relate to. but once they see a real neurodivergent person their reactions tend to be negative because they see them as too "weird" or something along those lines. but when they are fictional they praise these very characteristics they bully real people for having
@@gale8014 YES YES YES THISS as an autistic person
Same
@@gale8014 that's a very interesting take. I was just thinking how people love quirky/problematic characters in fiction, and they create those "literally me" trends. but in reality who are like this have a lot of trouble socializing and are very often reject, because it is harder to deal with things like introversion or depression. But I didn't even though about how those characters mimics neurodivergent traits.. people HATE who doesn't make eye contact for example. But you need to be pretty like Jenna so it would be charming and not weird
I understand thats frustrating, it makes sense though. A TV show is passive, she isnt talking to you, you dont have to deal with her and you dont have to live the embarassing situation of not knowing how to handle Wednesday.
I find it easier with neurodivergent people if we are in a group, i mean i am neurodivergent myself but with some people, and Wednesday would be one of them, it would be harder to be alone with them, because all the attention for an appropriate reaction is on me.
Forget kids at school and teenagers, they are a bit dumb and immature anyways and you cant take it seriously (we all were a bit like that) but with older people there is a lot of anxiety around hiding the fact that you dont know what you are doing. But dealing with some neurodivergent people often means having to be brave enough to sit that feeling out.
We're having the Harley Quinn personality era once again.
As always, history tends to repeat itself
The thing is that people like the idea of Wednesday, but for the ones who watched the Netflix series, you saw how she is. You saw how she hurt her friends, and although she made up with them, how she's willing to torture someone to get out information (like when she was about to torture Tyler). The question is, would you really want to be friends with someone like her? No, you just like idea of it. Many people who say that they love her would most probably bully her or ignore her, like how all the students at the first school would part ways to not be near her when she was walking in the first scene of the series.
The reality is, when you’re « not like the other » because you’re weird or nerdy, dress differently; it’s not cool, you get bullied. I tried super hard to be « like the other girls » in highschool because when i failed i got bullied hard. I used to knit and loved to sew costumes, to read, nerdy stuff, etc. It was in no way cool lol. I later learned i was autistic 😆 it puzzles me how people want to be different so hard while i wanted to be normal all my life and had to fake it and hide who i was🙈
The normal people want to be interesting, and the weirdos want to be normal. It's why I hate the whole "not like the other girls" thing, because if you weren't like the other girls, you wouldn't be parading around making sure everyone knew it. That would either be trying their best to not let people know they're different, or they would learn to accept that they're just the way they are, and wouldn't need validation.
I worry that people will try so hard to be like the “Wednesday girl type” that they’ll become purposely rude, mean and judgemental of “normal” people to be “not like other girls”
Fun fact: Wednesday’s dance is actually heavily inspired by a goth singer called Siouxsie Sioux, the actor who played Wednesday confirmed this herself ^^
I love this so much thank you! I’m 29 now and have fully embraced who I am and don’t apologize anymore for things I like. When I was in middle school and Highschool I tried to “fit in” whatever that meant in my schools because I was made fun of a lot or outcast because of my family life. I grew up in a Victorian household that liked to garden, had chickens, and liked to dress up. It’s popular/trendy to do that now which is super annoying when the people that made fun of you then do it now. But isn’t that always the story. Just do what you want and like what you like. Wednesdays a real one!
I relate to what you’re saying so much😆 what i was bullied for is now trendy 🤦♀️
My problem is, when that happens to be how I usually dress, now I feel like I can't dress that way because people will see me as a follower. And even once it dies down, it'll be resurrected every new season the show has.
THISSSSS!!!
good point
IKR
sometimes I want to put my hair in braids but I don't want it to seem like I'm copying Wednesday
I feel related, but never let the other people opinions change your way to dress or hair style. Wednesday new version is a Boom now, but as everything in life, will fall popularity when something new comes up.
Exactly, like I always do my hair like hers from that one ball episode and dress goth, even before the show, but now everyone thinks I'm trying to be like her 😭😭
When I was growing up, I actually wanted to be like Morticia, particularly the Carolyn Jones version. She's just so hilarious and authentic, and never trying too hard.
Refreshing to hear! She is a fun character
idk man she gives off dark academia. maybe ppl want to dress up more dark academia bc its not rlly goth. its like aesthetic goth
Wait what's the difference? I thought goth in general was a type of aesthetic 🤔
Right?? She never wears intense makeup so i never understood why people call her goth. Just because she wears black doesn't mean she's goth.
@@ramenwithaliens5431 Many people think that goth is about fashion or aesthetics but it's a musical subculture originally based on styles related to punk... For starters Wikipedia has good information in the goth subculture article. So it's not difficult to find the info. And yet sooo many people refuse to educate themselves about it. I have been a fan of goth music since the 00's and there have always been these misconceptions.
@@Melian07 oh I forgot goth was also a music genre too like punk. I just thought it was a fashion statement. Thanks!
@@ramenwithaliens5431 Yeah, it's how the subculture started, but nowadays many people don't know about it. And it got even worse with the commercialization of the fashion and the emergence of the "mall goth" style which has no ties to the music anymore.
Tbh i like Wednesday because of her iconic comeback lines, when i get bullied i can never think of one.
I just scream at them and that works every time.
@@zainabzolita8436 sounds dope, i'mma try
@@zainabzolita8436 Yeah scream like a monkey or some shit, you will be called crazy but you are already getting bullied so who fucking cares.
Fair enough. She has some good ones
The "i'm not like other girls" situation is just another way to shame girls for liking things. I'll admit I do relate to Wednesday in some ways, but not a lot of ways too! I can be dark, and I can be light! I can be sad, and I can be happy! I am a human being. I shouldn't have to conform to anything I don't want to, and I shouldn't have to be labeled a "pick me" just because I have my personality. I have always h@ted the "I'm not like other girls" situation because it puts girls in a box that is hard to get out of. The idea that you are either "normal" (whatever that is) or "other"(anyone you don't like) is outdated, and should be eradicated.
If you read this whole ramble, thanks for your time, and make sure to stay hydrated! Your serotonin(happiness chemical)levels can actually drop if you don't drink enough water!
Hi, I think the reason people might not like the girl with "I am not like other girl" mentality is because the girl is putting down other girls that would be seen as 'basic'. I seen post like that, and usually the girl tries to show off how different and special she is compared to the other normie girls. So as long as you are not putting other down and showing off, your are not a "I am not like other girls".
Ps. And yes I drank water thank you for the reminder.
this is just like how many people, including me, used to get bullied years and years ago for being into anime. to them, it’s dumb until someone conventionally attractive comes and makes it a trend. i, and many others here, have dressed darker and been into darker things, and it’s so much better to be into those interests and not have to feel a need to hide it. it’s not bad for people to find new hobbies, but it’s not nice when people are only into it to “look good to others” or because it’s a “trend”.
i also don’t like the autism head cannon because she wouldn’t be very good representation. yes even i see autistic traits in her, but she uses people for selfish reasons and doesn’t think of how they’d be affected, and personally myself and other autistic friends, aren’t like that at all. more like schizoid disorder
edit: the movies with christina ricci are my favs, i grew up on those and have always wanted to be similar to wednesday at just 7 years old. good memories
Exactly, if people met an actual autistic person who acts like this they would consider them try hard and cringe.
i think that autism representation is a similar problem to the lgbt community (coming from someone whos in both). people have deemed things not good representation if the person is presented with flaws. i dont think this is means the representation isnt good.
even if you and your friends dont relate, i actually did. she reminded me of my sister (who is also autistic) with the same "selfish" characteristics. this doesnt mean they are bad people, or necessarily that it comes from a place of true selfishness (at least intentionally). autism is a spectrum and there are degrees in which people express themselves as well as process things :) there are also many symptoms, and not considering how it would affect others over something deemed more of a priority is equally as possible as completely putting others before yourself. and neither are correct as to say if you are autistic or not
all this is just to say that i think its a good headcannon because it represents obvious traits as well as traits some people will find socially unacceptable. i think sanitising these traits are more detrimental, and it is nice to see these traits that you can feel guilty for ("why cant i just care about people more ? why am i like this ?") and still know that despite this you can be loveable and find genuine connections !
(i also dont want this to sound like im invalidating, being condescending or attacking you ! i hope this comes across as friendly discussion as i am interested in what other people think of the autism headcannon)
@@justtrash6673 that makes sense too! i definitely see your side :} it’s good hearing other people’s perspectives, bc yeah autism is a massive spectrum. my fear comes from people assuming everyone with autism is that way, and yeah absolutely same as lgbtq+ representation (also in both, so hell yeah for us lol). it’d be great to see more diverse representation like abed from community, bc he’s stellar. i’ve also seen NT people get defensive when people head cannon wednesday to be ND, which i do get upset about. the second ND people want representation, whether it’s cannon or not, NT people get mad bc they’re afraid of relating to someone on the spectrum. at least that’s what i’ve seen.
but you’re right, representation is good regardless of flaws, as long as they aren’t portraying the character as a stereotype or just blatantly false (like sia’s movie)
@@v_bunny totally agree with abed. i love him so much, representation peaked with him.
i also saw so many people offended whenever people head cannon someone to be ND as if its something negative. but i think it kinda goes to show that people will like individuals ND traits as long as its fictional and doesnt affect them. then entering real life territory it becomes too much. lots of people pointed out how the same people who love wednesday are the ones who tend to bully others for their presenting traits - its so strange to see !
but glad to be able to exchange thoughts with you ^^
@@justtrash6673 fr!! people be strange, and glad to have talked with you too!
When I was 16 I was highly depressive. I had the worst social anxiety, and was just angry at the world - I despised everyone and everything and of course, myself. I knew the 90s-Wednesday, which my family used to draw similarities to me. On one side, I felt a bit connected to her because I REALLY didn't want to be liked by people because I was scared they would leave me. On the other hand, I didn't want to be her, because that meant being "different" - and I hated it. It's all a paradox.
Now I'm 28 years old, mentally stable, in a relationship, and doing a full-time job (which at 16 I thought I would never achieve).
Watching Netflix's Wednesday today just made me fall in love with Jenna Ortega's impeccable acting and her own identity, giving the new Wednesday such a brilliant touch. I love seeing Wednesday today as a strong, independent woman who goes her way without having the need to appeal to anyone (+ the sarcasm is just cherries on top). I think, instead of trying to be her, we should all embrace our own Wednesday as independent human beings, not relying on others' approval. However, being socially cold is not fun.
BTW: People trying to be Wednesday today just reminds me of the Yandere-Girl epidemic on TikTok ... pls make it stop and care for your own character to make the best version of yourself.
I've always dressed in all black (and got picked on by both my family and classmates for it) but this show caused me to dye my hair red to avoid being called a wednesday wannabe just for dressing like I'm at a wake and having dark hair😹
the thing is that noone would probably liked to be in a relationship with Wednesday IRL. Like on tv show yea, but shes really cold, shows no emotions and she almost doesn't care about anyone. i have same attitude since my childhood and i have like 2 friends xd. i also know some people like me (or i suppose wednesday) those ppl r gonna ruin every party or event with their mood or sarcastic behaviour. my parents dont invite me to family meetings (which i love obv) but just saying idk who would want to be with ME all the time like in a romantic way.
noone loves me, so do i. im free, but this freedoom kinda tastes like death
Yeah the character is popular, but if someone acted as she does irl noone would want to be her friend or in a relationship with her. Being yourself and not be controlled by what people think is one thing, but why be so cold and unkind to people all the time? And why do you act as you do and is it really the way you want it? Social life is also hard for me as I'm naturally very introverted, but I still try to be kind to people.
This. Ppl glorify daria or Wednesday characters as they are "realistic" and ppl tryna get along with others are "shallow"
Ppl like daria and Wednesday would be called losers. I personally don't like them both despite relating to them, cuz of some anxiety and esteem issues. And i dont mind liking fic characters that i wouldnt like IRL. But ppl love to uphold some characters as of they will not quit acting like them once adult problems kick in. My friends who call me a depressive emo who proly has not gone thru any thing bad in life will absolutely post tiktoks of some future trendy character who is also emo
It's true that no one would be HAPPY with someone like her, but she's very pretty. There are a lot of people who will put up with a lot of crap to be with an attractive person. Now, if she were an average looking person, she would probably die alone.
Same here only my husband loves me but it's ok I don't care anyways. I learned to fake a lot of the happy facial expression and stuff for the one I want just to make them happy. It's hard but it's for the person I care about so I guess it's not faking in a way because I'm doing it because I care.
We appreciate Zoe's dedication and consistency on this channel. Happy Holidays, everyone.
the dance scene was absolutely impeccable. I noticed in certain spots in the scene that Jenna Ortega was trying not to smile- because she was having fun doing it, and she really did an amazing job with the role and creating a new flair for Wednesday.
This is so weird for me because I used to be a pick me girl in junior high and then adopted a personality that was pretty much wednesday once I got out of my people pleasing tendencies (though definitely less cool, but a bit more socially acceptable and with a sprinkle of tired and broke).
Seeing people go from being weirded out by me to glorifying this kind of personality is so damn trippy 😭
They’re not glorying the personality they’re glorifying Wednesday.
unfortunately it doesn’t work in real life. people at school will beat the 💩 out of you if you're different. i was this gloomy kid. i didn't talk much because of social awkwardness and insecurities. was interested in scary stuff. had no friends. my resting b face definitely didn't help. and fun fact: my dark hair and pale skin made me look half d34d. so i was pretty similar to wednesday. i was a weirdo, not new IT girl 💀
Wednesday reminds me a bit of a mary sue. She's not like other girls, is a bad a$$, doesn't care about other people, but still got 2 guys to fall for her(one of them being the popular guy of nevermore and the other one was an ex-bully/popular dude), overthrew/created a rivalry with the most popular girl, and became quite popular/known at nevermore all after just a week or so. She also always got second chances from the principal. The cherry on top was, even tho she didn't know about her power it turned out to be a very/ if not the most powerful power which she mastered in a short time, used it to come back to life and took down a powerful man/spirit( idk how to call that granpa) because she's so awesome. Idk it bugged me a little bit, but that's just me.
Whenever I see a supposedly weird or unattractive character that had a hard life and bullied at first got 2 handsome guys fighting over her and all the good stuff happening, I always said "real life is exactly like this minus the two handsome guys"
i liked the series because I find myself in her. first time in my life i felt like "this is me" rather than "this is who i need to be".
What are your thoughts on Wednesday as a character? 👀How did you guys like the new series?
I really like Wednesday, even though she is not my favorite character of the addams family. And the hype is a bit much, still prefer the 1991/1993 movies
@@L.L333 I LOVE the 90s addams
Bicho con bolas en verdad I feel like elqueloleaespato
@@zoeunlimited Yes, these movies are just so good♥️ thanks for the heart🤗
She's too much like the stereotypical teenager 😅 I mean what's wrong with knowing when to conform sometimes?
Girl, Lady Gaga wrote the “I’ll dance with my hands above my head” song ( which, by the way, is titled bloody Mary ) If there is one celebrity who should have jumped on that trend, that was her .
I love Wednesday because as an autistic person I can relate sm. i also used to be goth until I was bullied out of it + had to get a surgery n wasn’t allowed to wear makeup for a while. Its interesting because everyone’s like “I love Wednesday” but when ppl r like tht in real life they r so mean . All the ppl ik irl saying they love Wednesday r so rude to me for displaying very similar traits, especially the emotional morse code thing
like her shoes for example lol, the ones she wears to skl. I have a very similar pair I bough in around april I think? My friends constantly laughed at them until Wednesday. And when I recommended poets and writers like kafka and poe, made fun of me for reading and now they think Poe is “cool”
why was the monster creature in wednesday so freakin funny tho 😂 like it wasn’t scary at all. just weird af n hilarious looking
Yes it just made me laugh with those bug eyes lol
I knowwww really i hated the design so much .
It's a typical Burton design. Just watch Beetlejuice, it is chock full of similar designs.
Doesn’t have to look scary to be scary,take chimpanzees for example,they look so human and funny,but will tear you apart without hesitation,I’d take my chances with a room full of monsters than with one chimp!
I loved how she struggled with wanting community/company/friends in the show. I liked how she was able to make friends, but she didn't have to sacrifice aspects of herself to form deep friendships, nor did she have to have a huge friend group too feel that need more fulfilled in her life. I think that aspect of the show was so nice to see on screen.
..I dont understand how this is deep and how you can make a full like 14 minutes video??
Laughing that your said "Wednesday doesn't give a flying tombstone."
the sudden, widespread admiration of wednesday addams, and the desire to be just like her, in my opinion, comes from the fact that the is different, while at the same time comical (maybe not intentionally), pretty, popular, confident and, most importantly, widely accepted. thus it is understandable that many people would wish to be in a somewhat similar situation, given societal and peer pressure is what it is presently. i absolutely agree with what you’re saying here about the pick-me mentality: a desire to fit in, but at the same time stand out and be appreciated as an individual.
the problem comes with the fact that she has clearly been portrayed as someone with asd, and as someone with an alternative style. it’s all very well loving the show (i’ve been watching it on repeat), and her character, but when the vast majority of people meet someone part of a subculture or on the spectrum, the admiration and adoration is suddenly vastly diminished. nt people trying to copy mannerisms etc. somewhat takes away from the efforts a great many neurodivergent people make to help cope with life in a predominantly nt society.
as a nd person myself, these points are what i find most frustrating.
Fully agree as sm w autism
Can we just agree to stop heckin bullying eachother over stupid things and making each other not want to enjoy what they like anymore ?
After watching the show, I have so much to say about peoples reactions to it. If Wednesday was real, people would not be drawn to her like in the show and would avoid or bully her. Wednesday shows many signs of being on the autism spectrum, which I am also on, so I could fully relate to that. After watching the show, I felt inspired to embrace more of that side of myself and not try so hard to mask to “fit in.” I’m naturally deadpan and monotonous like Wednesday, and I adore her subtle makeup look which makes a ghostly appearance more attractive (my eye bags can finally benefit me). However, when I learned that people were turning her look and personality into a trend, I felt sick. All those conventionally attractive people suddenly worshipping a neurodivergent outcast felt like everything Wednesday would be against.
It's not like she's "not like the other girls" her whole character, like the rest of her family is meant to be different and not like other people in general. The name outcast for example. People are so obsessed with making any girl who tries not to be a stereotype because that's not them a pick me that they just ignore the whole point of a character
This Wednesday Addams is a pick me. She tries so hard to run away of "social validation". For example: there's a scene that she's been asked for her social media. She said that she doesn't have one bc of social validation (I kinda agree with that). A real Addams would have said: "I have one" and showed a super creepy page full of psyco ppl. Or there's another scene when Xavier saved her. She instead of being like: "You have ruined my chance to die" or how she thanks him for saving her of a boring dead, 'cause she planned to die in a very awful traumatizing dead and make dark jokes about it. She talked about patriarchy. The real character doesn't run away from people bc she hates them. The character is herself and people are scared 'cause she doesn't share the same view of reality. Wednesday is dark character. They always portrait her as a cold girl, but that doesn't mean she is bad with others with for no reason. The new version, treats everybody badly for no reason. Xavier is the best example. I hope that they can get more into Dark Humour and make her a cold but funny dark girl as the real Addams
Thank you. You get it
Perfect perfect examples!!! I'm now even more sure that, Christina Ricco's version - though the most popular - wouldn't be as famous as Jenna Ortega's in this mass-pop way, simply because her character was weird AND antisocial and given more episodes of her truly macabre and dark behaviour and less "top talking points with today's trending topics" so she would've found a more niche following. Wednesday Adams in more book Luna Lovegood but weirder and darker. The only places in the series where this Wednesday felt like that were with her uncle, those came the closest to capturing the essence of Wednesday.
Not to say I don't like this performance or this character, but it's a more obvious, more crowd-pleasing character than before. Also the appearance thing - 100%! Like, Christina Ricci was an attractive kid for sure, but they made sure to give her the wide forehead, deathly pale skin, and skinny pigtails that made her more 'other' looking, whereas this Wednesday is more conventional looking and attired, like a Pinterest version of the same. She looks more pretty (they gave bangs to someone who doesn't even have a wide forehead to begin with), she's not skinny in an awkwardly proportioned way like the animation, so she blends in more and more except for the pigtails maybe.
I don’t agree with this but whatever
I couldn't agree more!! She annoys me in this, I didn't want to even watch the whole series
I couldn't pinpoint exactly why I wasn't too sold on the new series and this seems to be exactly it (that and the stupid love triangle.) tbh no judgement towards those who like the show but it's a bit meh for me
I liked the older version of Wednesday growing up because I related to her for being "different". Going through grades 1-9 I didn't socialize with anyone but when the new Wednesday came out people started to say l was "trying to be like Wednesday" and that "I never smiled" and "didn't interact with anyone" but they never said anything before.
It's funny that everyone accepts Wednesday and also wants to become like her, but once someone in society sees someone like her, they won't accept her at all
Remember whwn Bridgerton came out ? How about Peaky Blinders ? Stranger things ? Suicide Squad?
The Internet will always be a bit obssesed for a hot minute and that should be normal by now
A week ago, i meet an old friend. I was only wearing black. She asked me if I watched wednesday, and i sayd yes, butvit isnt that good like my other favorite series. Then she was like but you were wearing only black, you have to love Wednesday. Im also having a similar personality like wednesdays and she said i would ,,act,, like her.
Because people crave individuality, ironically in the act of people trying to be different they're all the same. People are sheeple. Things aren't as special you think. Being alternative or goth, meant you were alternative to things that were mainstream. Now being alternative is the new trend and the new norm. So it's difficult now a days to weed out people that are trying so hard to be alternative just by looking at them. It becomes quite easy however, after having a conversation with these people about music, or their interests. Then you realize that they're only "alternative" because it's trendy, and they have zero personality.
Remember when euphoria season2 came out last year. Everyone were crazy about being like Maddy Pére. Everyone were just copying everything about her, from her fashion to her personality.....
I like the series except her love interests. Tyler oozes the every guy troupe(It's overplayed nowadays) and Xavier is that person on high school u give 2 seconds of attention and thinks u like them.
Yes💯
Anyone attractive gets called a pick me if they have any type of personality that isn't mean and like a cheerleader or something
thank you so so much for this video. I've actually constantly been seeing this show, Wednesday Addams specifically, literally all around, everywhere and was really confused as to why it blew up (I haven't watched the series myself). Also love your explanation on how and who started it (your explanation on Charles addams) for those like me who haven't tried the show yet- I'm just always looking forward to your videos, Zoe!
Personality is something you’re born with not something you can change or borrow. I don’t get those people who relate to her but are totally different or who want to be like her just because it’s cool atm.
I've always wore mostly black (because I paint my nails colors and don't want to choose clothes that clash with my nails) but now I get all embarrassed about it because of Wednesday the series
i honestly encourage ppl to follow trends. it helps them understand themselves, figure out what they like, etc. and i feel it’s healthy for younger ppl to do it esp. what i don’t encourage bullying ppl who are into something before it’s trendy. and tbh some ppl enjoy following trends and that is their personality. they’re open minded and eclectic. but again as long as they aren’t mean to ppl who don’t follow those trends or mean to ppl who like something before it’s trendy.
7:54. I feel this part, my whole class was racist, my food, my eyes, my skin color and me being the typical 'asian nerd' made it worst.
But know they all want my eyes, me brain and my food. They are like 'oh! Kdrama or Bts/kpop'.
i think what makes people aspire to be like her is that she seems to be completely in tune with herself. it's not like she doesn't wear makeup or doesn't care about her hair, she has a look, she cares but she doesn't care what others see her as. she seems as if she does things only for herself. she dresses and acts the way she wants to not to please anybody. i don't think u woukd hear her say she is different in a way that makes her superior. if she would say she is different then based on facts how basically everybody is different from each other because we are individual human beings.
Wednesday is still a very typical "goth" antisocial outcast character, shes really no different despite jenna ortega's beautiful portrayal of her. She still follows the same cliche character arc, she's still thrust into the middle of weird situations even when shes not actively investigating and she still effortlessly grabs the attention of two boys that are somehow very into her despite her being very cold and aloof towards them. Theres nothing truly special about the modern Wednesday addams except for the work that jenna ortega herself put into the character
I'm loving the new thumbnails, and great video! Keep doing what you do❤️
My nana had her hair in braids pinned all her life. Crazy how popular it’s getting again! I’m glad I won’t look so out of place when I do it now 😅
It's a really cute style!
I've always loved Wednesday Addams. I've been told that we have similar personalities, (we are both female INTJ's), but that doesn't mean that I try to be her. I don't understand why can't they just appreciate characters, instead of adopting the characters as their personality simply because they are trendy.
Honestly, I loved Bianca though. Initially thought she was just going to be the stereotypical mean girl, but then I had to look at things from her perspective. I realized I’m quite a bit like her, and loved seeing her character flesh out as the series went on. I love her, and I love that I share certain character traits with her. The same goes for Enid.
i LOVE the last sentence you said!! we define for ourselves personally what ''norms'' we fall in. anyway, great video :)
people just pick and choose the traits they want while completely disregarding the other ones. with wednesday, they want to dress alternative, to have a cool attitude, etc. but as a person who is actually that straightforward, monotone, unbothered, and has a similar sense of humor- the people who "want to be like her" are the same ones who make fun of these people irl. same with the goth fashion. its getting unbearable 😭
I find it extremely funny that suddenly everyone wants to dress like her... Yet I've been mocked for dressing all black for most of my adult life lmao. Trends are a beautiful, funny thing.
I think this really is about her being absolutely stunning and very confident. Also, even though she dresses goth, it still looks comparatively mainstream and a lot of people agree that’s very pretty. She does weird things but she does them in a way that seems entirely natural.
Just my two cents but I believe the core of the issue why most people who are different in some way get picked on is because they’re kinda the opposite - sad but true (I’m neurodivergent myself).
Is it me or Wednesday AND Enid are literally me to an extend lol. I'm not exactly the Gothic type but I have a tomboy side and a girly side. Sometimes I wanna dress up in dresses and bright colors while some days I wanna dress up in dark solid pants and t-shirt. I struggled to pick a side throughout my life but just ending up doing both because why not. Yolo ig. 🤷🏽♀️😆
believe me 95% of people are this only-
I feel this! And now I have too many clothes because of this lol I could dress as a completely different styled person daily 🥲
I feel like people want to become Wednesday just because of all the attention she gets. They want to be "different" without recieving any hate that real unique people do.💀
Everyone is brainwashed, celebrities hop on to enhance the distraction using their influence especially by engaging in the normal people circle aka participating in tiktok trends and acting as if they’re not puppets unlike before when they were unreachable
I dress in all black and white, I have black hair and pale skin. Before this series came out, kids came up to me and called me emo and laughed, tried to make fun of me. (I work as an assistant teacher in a school) Then suddenly, they started saying how cool I looked and how I was their Wednesday and how I should download Tiktok and do the trend. It was an interesting switch, from one week to the other.
its pretty ironic actually - an important trait of Wednesday's is being authentic to yourself and not pretending to be someone your not, while many of these teens are taking up this fake persona, just because it is 'trendy'
That’s exactly what I said!! Like? 😂 Wednesday is cool cus she doesn’t care for others validation. She’s just doin her. Yet all the people who are SO MUCH LIKE HER AND ALWAYS LOVED HER SO SO MUCH are absolutely nothing like her, in the way that they keep copying her. Wednesday wouldn’t be do that.
She was an entertaining Mary Sue.
I agree I didn't read Wednesday as a pick me. As the viewer I didn't feel like I was being led to want to be like her because it was clear that her being the way she is made her lonely at times. Also, a lot of times pick mes are shown to be popular with men because they "aren't like other girls", whereas in Wednesday's case I think a girl that beautiful would be just as sought after in real life. Tyler and Xavier basically seemed to tolerate her personality because she is gorgeous, rather than "pick" her for it.
I love Wednesday bc I dress goth (and listen to goth, metal and punk music), and I’m self diagnosed autistic, and it was cool to see someone on screen that dressed and acted differently. But like with Eddie Munson in Stranger Things, people like seeing « outcasts » on screen but bully them in person. You can’t tell me that everyone would actually like Wednesday if she were real. She’s autistic coded and she’s different. She’s « weird ». Most people would tease and bully her. Yell « emo » at her. Like they do to me. She just became a trend. And now the irl normies want to be like her when I’ve been here this whole time.
What I don’t like is that I get teased and shit by normies but then they turn someone like me into a trend. That’s it.
Whenever a popular character comes out I have to change my personality to not be like them so I don’t get compared, and I think that’s the most insane thing I’ve ever done
I've literally seen all of your commentary videos. Those and the shorts, chef's kiss!!
As a 14 year old I was both so confused and frustrated to see people imitate Wednesday's personality. But then I realized, people didn't copy Wednesday's personality because they like her, they only copy it because they only see her as an aesthetic, not a person. Because apparently, personalities are now trends that you can switch when you want to. Everyone's a Wednesday Addam until the Barbie movie come out.
Wednesday isn't even that weird or odd. I don't see wat makes her so unique in the 1st place. She actually fits the narrative of how ppl r trying to be at the moment, "I'm unique I'm different I'm not like others. " Her goth isn't even that goth. She wears black, black doesn't mean goth, and having a personality of I hate everything doesn't make u goth either. I find the character to be rather boring, and the only thing that makes her interesting is the events taking place around her and the things happening to her vs her herself being interesting. If anything it's Enid that's unique and quirky in the show. Even the male characters behave much like Wednesday along with most of the characters having that everything is boring except wat I'm doing. Enid is the odd 1 out in the show, which I think makes Wednesday's character even less interesting.
Frr
I disagree but we all have our opinions
This is exactly the problem with the setting they chose for the series and why it was a bad idea to isolate Wednesday from the dynamic of her family
To be honest yea I agree with you
They had noooo business putting her in a school full of “weirdos”. I think they were the writers were trying to go for the angle that she’s THE weirdo of the weirdos but It ended up making her look like a Normie.
I always love your videos and the topics you choose, you always share your opinions without forcing them on anyone and you are such an inspiration to me, love you Zoe! ❤☺
I remember before the series came out I got bullied for acting like Wednesday, Apparently if I have darker interests/humor I no longer have feelings and people can be mean to me
It's weird to see that everyone wants to be like her now, but also feels somewhat comforting (?)
