[@Bloomser]

If you see Cartman as the hero of the show, Wendy is a villain. I think that sentiment explains some of the hatred of her. Regardless of how people feel, it’s hard to deny that she’s one of the most well-written characters in the show, and that she fills her role perfectly.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Amén to that. And She's a hero. Cartman is a villain protagonist, She's a hero antagonist. And her beatdown of him is legendary. Love your content btw

[@Itariatan]

I just see Wendy as the female version on Kyle. They would fill the exact same role if one them went away, the only difference is that Kyle cares more about Cartman than she does, and she doesn't have that many worthwhile moments in the grand scheme of things.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

It genuinely chills me to the bone to think that ANY South Park fan could possibly see Eric Cartman as the hero of the show. If you don't see that the whole entirety of South Park is Matt and Trey relentlessly ripping on the pathetic self-serving sociopathy of Cartman and ripping on society for tolerating it, you're not watching the same show I am.

[@tananatana4011]

I think what makes Wendy a good counter against Cartman is that she ISN'T the polar opposite to Cartman, a lot of people say this, but I disagree. KYLE is Cartman's opposite, Cartman is often compared to the antichrist, he's the most chaotic, evil, unapologetically selfish character in the show. He's evil, knows he's evil, is open about being evil, and just thinks that's how the world works, and that everyone is out to get him from the get-go and he's simply adjusting to the world around him. He's capable of absolutely tormenting and straight up making other people kill themselves just by a singular conversation with them. Kyle is basically the opposite ideology pushed to it's extreme. Kyle's known for his "I've learned something today" speeches, he's overly obsessed with bettering, not only himself, but others. Like how Cartman can get the worst out of seemingly innocent people, children and nannies, Kyle can get the absolute best out of literal dictator of Cuba, but Kyle's obsession towards bringing justice sometimes makes him seem even MORE selfish and delusional. Even if a situation has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, he'll help, not because he wants to do the right thing, not even because he wants glory, he literally just wants to feel as if he's the best guy ever, Ginger Cow delves into his mentality the best. Kyle is the most lawful mf ever, he won't stand for anything that isn't total justice. Wendy doesn't really give a shit about that, if Cartman is slandering her, she doesn't care, if random Muslim kid is being bullied by Cartman, she doesn't care, if Cartman INSULTS THE CAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN, oh it's game on bitch, and she is willing to be just as manipulative and as deceptive as him to beat him, like in Smurfs episode where he straight up uses Cartman's strategy to demolish HIS reputation, Kyle for instance would NEVER EVER do something like that, instead what he would do is make a poetic speech about being an individual and not trusting everything the media says to the school.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

Interesting take. I don't get from Wendy's actions in Dances with Smurfs that she's equal to him in terms of manipulation and deception. I feel like the difference is that Wendy has more of an "the ends justify the means" approach, whereas Kyle doesn't. He'd rather die on his hill alone than win down in the trenches. He'd rather rise above the problems of the world to set an example, which speaks to his egosim. Perhaps because I identify with him, I would argue that he isn't overtly egotistical, he understands that its not all about him cognitively, but he uses the emotional energy of his egoism to charge his batteries, so to speak. Wendy on the other hand really doesn't care who gets the credit, she cares about the result. This itself is sort of a commentary on how gender roles shape personalities. Society tends to care more about the egos of men, giving men credit and recognition for their work, than it does for women, who largely go uncredited. Even when Wendy genuinely destroys Cartman, she doesn't proclaim herself the victor, she doesn't gloat, she simply says "I'm finished!" and leaves. I actually think Kyle and Wendy would make a fantastic match. They understand how each other care deeply about the world beyond themselves, and they are both excellent communicators and deeply empathetic individuals. But because Stan is not, nor will ever be, mature enough to get over Wendy, dating her would undoubtedly destroy Kyle's friendship with him, so it can never happen.

[@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511]

Actualmente butters sería lo opuesto a cartman es alguien que siempre ve lo bueno en las personas sin importar quien sean no trata de imponer sus opiniones sobre los demás de hecho es bastante manipulable

[@Corgi_fax]

She's like the only one female character that has depth in Southpark. Other characters, adults and kids, has absolutely no depth and are NPCs which can be replaced completely with other women in the entire plot. But she's not used for everything like how Randy is, well written character overall. Hate is a strong word(well, obviously whoring for clicks) but a lot of people tend to be annoyed by 'conscious' female character on their cartoon show that makes them think when they don't want to. Not in a Disney- /PC- fueled way.

A rundown from someone who watched the show from her early teen years and who liked Wendy: 1. Her and Stan's relationship got a lot less fun to watch over time (and she fell into the background for a while because of it). 2. People preferred her back when she was "shy". 3. Some Cartman apologists do not like her humbling him and for a show filled with people doing terrible things, they don't like it when the girls act the same as the boys. 4. She has wonderful episodes like "Stupid Spoiled Whore" where she's passionate about the issues she believes in but other times, she's usually told off for going to far by another character. Don't know if that all tracks but something I've noticed.

He's just a pathetic a*s-hole because he wants to be.

Another reason why Wendy is hated is because of the Style Shippers.

Wendy may have her moments where she is hypocritical but she is really a good character, she is not a hollow or stupid girl, she has also shown to have concerns towards her friends and has been bullied by her own friends and very hard and sad moments with her that makes you have a lot of empathy for her.

I love how south park makes it so that every point she ever makes is rational, well thought out, and perfectly presented, and then have the characters react as if she's just spouting nonsense - a perfect satire of both misogyny and of how society responds to criticisms; if you make your point poorly, your point is attacked, but if you make your point well, you're simply dismissed and no attempt to refute it is made. You're just treated as though you never made a good point.

Im a fan of cartman, but wendy is good. The only time ive genuinely agreed with cartman in hating wendy is when she complains to the school and gets the meals changed to eco-friendly plant based shit. As petty as it is, i got actually mad during that. A man just wants his barbecue ribs. All that aside, wendy is chill, passes the vibe check

Wendy by then knows Cartmans angle, he knows what he will do to simple go against her, and she wants to stay out of it to the best of her ability.. but once she realizes its going beyond school she has to do something and in an insanely smart move, out-Cartman'd Cartman.

Sadly, a lot of people who love South Park only do so, because they think it's this funny show that isn't scared to joke about sensitive topics, but couldn't be more wrong. They make jokes about sensitive shit, yes. But they do so in order to satirise the topics and open up a dialogue, NOT just because racism is funny. A good example is the episode introducing PC Principal, where he ends the episode off saying "I would have never thought to use offensive imagery and outrageous stereotypes to provoke someone to open their eyes". THIS IS THE POINT OF SOUTH PARK. You need characters like Wendy who point out when the guys (Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman) do stupid shit, because unfortunately some of the fans with low media literacy (*likely you reading this*) will completely miss all of the metaphors and parallels in the episode.

As a guy I like her character now. But I will admit that when I watched South Park in my teens it sometimes felt like she was just a girl intruding on the boys shennanigans. They touched on it in this video, you mainly follow the boys and sometimes dads POV's in this show, the creators are men and the audiance is mostly male after all. And especially as a teenager I could find it a bit annoying when the female characters stole the spotlight beacuse I couldn't relate to them as much, Wendy was the most in your face about it. Now I appreciate what it does for the depth of the show though.

[@lexyruse603]

I personally dont hate Wendy. I do find her to be a bit of a hypocrite though. For example, the hobbit episode. She had an issue with Butters calling Lisa fat and ugly but she called her fat and ugly herself. She also could have hated on Kim Kardashian for anything but instead went after her looks. She was basically like "It's bad for guys to talk bad about women but I can talk bad about women." That did make her come off as a hater because the whole episode all she does is go for people looks yet say its wrong when the boys do it. I did enjoy the episode but I feel like it shows the hypocrisy of Wendy.

EDIT: And you know what's really ridiculous about the whole "Wendy is to blame for getting in the way of Style" argument? *BOTH* Stendy and Style got fucked over over time, as the recent seasons put an ever-increasing focus on Randy, Cartman, Butters, PC Principal and Garrison, and not enough focus on them. It's real easy to feel less invested in both ships from that, especially since recent episodes like "Cupid Ye" and "Deep Learning" portrayed them in a negative light. (Yet somehow it's like the shippers are still stuck on Season 15 and never moved on since then.) No, Wendy is not to blame for getting in the way of Style. *Randy, Cartman, Butters, PC Principal and Garrison are to blame for getting in the way of Style and Stendy's screentime.*

Thank you, BJ. You absolutely nailed this episode. And thank you for specifying that being “socialized as girls” is a fundamentally foundational aspect of the female experience. I’m personally sick of the notion that men and boys who “identify as female” (whatever tf that actually even means) will ever truly know what it’s like to be female. The fact of the matter is that it’s not a feeling. It’s an experience. And it’s an experience that you cannot have unless you experience female socialization while existing in a female body. Not a body that appears somewhat female, but a functioning female body. Regardless of how society perceives you, there’s no way you can truly know the struggles that women and girls face because of the differences in our anatomy, our reproductive capacity, our relatively smaller stature, and less strength. There’s literally laws that exist to subjugate us based on our ability to reproduce. And that’s not even touching the laws that no longer exist to oppress us, that have existed for most of human history. The last of those laws have only disappeared in the last 20 years or so. The overturning of Roe v. Wade, the destruction of Title IX because of gender ideology, and the fact that women and girls no longer have any sex segregated spaces, no women’s sports, and no real protection under the law because we don’t even have a meaningful word to describe and distinguish our sex anymore, are are recent steps backwards that I never imagined I’d live to see. I said all of this to say that a woman is an adult human female, and it’s important to acknowledge that and demand that women are a separate and distinct sex class, and that fact has certain implications about our reality and lived experience. These are things that no male will ever be able to “identify” into. You cannot identify into female oppression, and the notion that anyone can is ridiculous and offensive to all women and girls. If that makes me a TERF, then I’m a proud TERF. The misogynistic, homophobic, racist gender identity movement has gone far enough.

Cartman being beaten up was just a dose of karma for all the things he did, and Wendy was the perfect character for that.

I’m always surprised that she’s not really close friends with Kyle, I know she’s not close with any of the boys outside of Stan, but I always figured they’d at least be friends, but then again I can also imagine Kyle not wanting to be friends with her cause Stan might get jealous again.
