People have talked about the misogyny in some Style shippers, what about the internalized misogyny in some Stendy shippers?
I’ve seen SOME Stendy shippers usually water down Wendy’s character as just being the purpose of Stan’s girlfriend, and refusing to focus more on her character individually, which already seems misogynistic, because I honestly love Wendy as a character, while not even shipping Stendy.
The fandom also constantly ignore Wendy’s feelings in favor of Stan’s feelings or love, which is already misogyny. It erases the female character’s story and experiences for the sake of the male character even if she was also in the hurt. Wendy’s feelings and character gets brushed aside so it would not interfere with/or affect the ship, since she is always the one ending the relationship (for a reason). and this feels like female characters are not allowed to have feelings because it contradicts a ship the fandom likes, it is like a female character cannot have their own perspective and feelings because it just doesn't matter to the fandom just because the male character shows he cares at the slightest, which is just misogyny.
Another thing that irks me is when people deny Stendy’s toxicity and emotional imbalance because they’re 10, You do realize kids can absolutely be in toxic relationships, right? Take a look at Heiman for proof. Plus, Toxic relationships aren’t just abusive, manipulating, and neglectful. Toxic relationships can include mutual emotional dependency and emotional imbalance, which emotional imbalance falls under Stendy’s relationship.
People say this to brush off Wendy’s feelings and perspective because it interferes with Stendy and Stan’s love, again. People keep saying Stan’s just 10 thats why he messes up, well guess who’s also 10 (or 9, idk)? Wendy herself.
I’ve always noticed a pattern between them, Almost ALL diehard stendy defenders usually always defend Stan, and acknowledge Stan’s feelings, but never acknowledge Wendy’s at the SLIGHTEST. usually, they just say “yea, she forgives him so its okay 🥰” refusing to dive in deeper about her. (I lowk have names on who do this, but Im not telling for safety reasons.)
