Wicked is a story that is literally about racism and discrimination regardless of which version of the story you are consuming, and y’all don’t treat it like that. You want to baby Glinda and villainize Elphaba not realizing that you are quite literally falling for the propaganda against her in the Wicked universe. Then y’all have the nerve to try and attack people who say that Glinda isn’t a good person. She’s not! She wasn’t a good person in the beginning of Wicked and she doesn’t turn over a new leaf until it is too late for literally anyone else but herself. Glinda is a shallow, narcissistic, and racist person who is even worse in the book. You cannot simply ignore that. Just like you cannot ignore her complacency and betrayal towards Elphaba. The woman who is supposedly her best friend. And I’ll say it again: At least Fiyero stands up and does something. Yes, he was complacent, but when it came down to it he came to his senses and stood by Elphaba like a real friend would. He picked a side. The right side. No amount of “But what was she supposed to do?” and “They both were bad” will ever make Glinda’s level of complacency ok. Never. She led the charge against Elphaba at Shiz and she led the charge against her once again during her stint as Glinda “the Good”. Point blank period. I don’t feel bad for anything that happened to Glinda at the end of Wicked because she deserved it. You don’t get to enjoy the luxuries of ignorance and hatred and then suddenly expect to still get everything you want when you decide to do something at the last minute. You just don’t. It is all the consequences of her actions coming back to bite her in the butt.
PS: And before anyone starts: No, I do not care about your shipping wars cuz I ship Elphaba with both Glinda and Fiyero. Not only that, but to equate everything to shipping is a problem. It shows exactly why a lot of y’all lack media literacy and comprehension skills the way that you do.
