Yellowjackets Specifically Focusing On The Spiral Into Madness Through A Teenage Girl Lens Was Sooo Crucial

yellowjackets specifically focusing on the spiral into madness through a teenage girl lens was sooo crucial to its plot and development. would it have been different if it were a group of boys instead of girls? yes, definitely. would it have been more violent? more brutal? no. there is something so innately psychological about seeing young women at peak adolescence just go mad. the thing with these young women is that they were already trying to balance between so many things at once. school, identity, sexuality, love, loyalty, friendship, socialization, mental illness. them being put in a position where they had to challenge all of these things for the sake of survival pushed them way past a boundary they were told they should never cross. since the beginning of time women have always been these creatures that were either too innocent or too hysterical. no in between. women are very emotional beings. their anger, their sadness, their grief, is always much more complex. it’s something they’ve been taught to always hold in. it isn’t surface level stuff. it builds up. it bubbles and bubbles and then it comes out haunted, and messy, and fucking terrifying. men? they don’t get told to not get angry. they’re allowed to yell, to scream, to tell people off. it’s as easy as that. their spiral into madness wouldn’t have felt like it needed to be justified or have some other meaning to it. these young women however, it’s so much different. it’s bottled up, and shaken. their violence, their love, their grief, their rage is all so much more emotionally driven, there’s always some logic to it. some way to find connection back to it. it has to have meaning. it has to have ritual. and at the end of it, it’s them reclaiming a power they were never allowed to have.

When other Yellowjackets fans, majority who are poc themselves, talk about how weird and frustrating it is that the writers introduced a random yte character and gave them a storyline when there were two (technically three but they killed off Lottie even when there was an opportunity for more) woc, who have been around since s1, that could've fit the mold instead (like Mari) and have actual personalities outside of building up/being the lapdog for another character. Or how often times many of the, limited, poc characters are often either treated poorly and killed off, or pushed to the side (Simone, reduced to the disposable black girlfriend trope and is nearly killed by her partner because she's in the way of a ship; Travis, since s1, had his trauma dismissed or ignored and was overly hated but no one talks about how he was SA'd by the girls he's now stuck with on top of having to eat his brother and not be able to grieve over it). How Taissa's whole storyline is just revolving around Van even with all the potential, especially given she's fighting to be free from her own mind, how Lottie's mental illness is treated so poorly as if it's not the butt of a joke then it's met with heavy criticism (and the only time she is met with sympathy for it, it's through the lens of a yte character embodying her and having an emotional conversation with her father). How you can have all of these reasons (and more) for being annoyed by Melissa's character or the direction of the show, and be met with #those fans downplaying these concerns, or just being overly antagonistic just because they find yte character #243 entertaining so obviously these conversations don't have merit. But this fandom has always had an...."interesting" way in which it discussed the poc characters on the show, so I'm not surprised.
