the deconstruction of the manic pixie dream girl trope is meant to remind moody assholes that wild whacky girls do not exist purely for their pleasure and then cease to exist/have rich inner lives & narratives when they’re outta sight

the deconstruction of the manic pixie dream girl trope is NOT meant to say “whacky girls do not exist and they are bad and if you see a girl being whacky she’s perpetuating a sexist stereotype for the sake of pleasing men”. like how wrong could y’all GET that
