      I'm not saying this from the shitty YouTube MRA POV that "Making a woman protagonist is cheating, everyone automatically sides with women no matter what they do" The story *objectively is different* because she's a woman

      It hits different because you can see societal sexism reflected, if only indirectly, in her reactions leading up to the Hex -- the way her grief is dismissed and not taken seriously and her emotions are treated by people like Hayward as an inconvenience Even so

      And the whole sitcom setting hits the way it does because it's Wanda's self-abnegation, her guilt and her refusal to see herself as a villain, playing itself out It's her fantasy of paradise but it's one where she's constantly trying to punish herself and push power away

      In the world of the sitcom, she's a harried housewife stuck inside with the kids all day, not the professional with a cool important job (the role she lets Vision play) Her fantasy is a fantasy of servitude, of helping and advising, of being needed

      She's the bullied outsider desperately trying to please alpha mean girl Dottie, even though in reality those roles are reversed The "scripts" make her the butt of the joke, the sympathetic underdog who keeps having bad shit happen to her but pluckily pulling through

      If the magical reality warper creating the Hex were making himself the Dick van Dyke and not the Mary Tyler Moore it'd be much harder to like him If it were clearly a straightforward power fantasy where he's badass and cool and respected all the time

      If it were some dude creating a sitcom fantasy where his wife brings him his pipe and slippers and whatnot the audience would just be like "Okay Hayward waste this creepy fuck" If he were the kid from the Twilight Zone or the Captain from Black Mirror's USS Callister

      I mean, Vision's resurrection alone If this story were about a dude creating a clone of his dead wife out of pure energy and then gaslighting her about where she came from and telling her she should stop thinking about the world outside Westview because he's all she needs

      You'd say "This is fucking rapey as hell, this guy's a monster" and you'd be right But it hits different with the genders reversed (and I'm saying it *actually is different*, not that it's "cheating" or "bias")

      Mel Killingsworth Retweeted tvquila

      Agree it actually 'is different' - though I also think in a couple specific instances the difference works against her, IE a dude would be seen unequivocally as a hero for storming the compound where his dead wife's body is being dissected.https://twitter.com/tvquila/status/1358214565536755712 …

      Mel Killingsworth added,

      tvquila @tvquila
      Gender politics in #WandaVision 1.05 are really interesting: two scenarios, one of which Wanda is seen (broadly) sympathetically, the other of which her actions are treated as somewhat of a horror trope . . . both of which would likely be wholly reversed if she were a man: (1/?)

      I feel like any ambiguity in that scene where Wanda *isn't* seen as a hero for trying to reclaim her husband's dead body is the result of us having been told by Hayward that Wanda is robbing her husband's grave against his own explicit wishes

          I don't think the scene is ambiguous, but some viewers's responses sure weren't unilaterally supportive (nor were secondary characters, aside from Monica, IIRC)

          Hell if she were a man this sxene could kick-start an entire franchise, John Wick - style.
