#as usual let’s demonise the female characters and pretend all the men are flawless

It actually needs to be studied how the encanto fandom took one tiny verse from a song and misconstrued pepas entire character. Where did this narrative that she’s bitter and mean even come from??? how did y’all manage to successfully convince people that was true!? people think pepa is SO hung up about thr wedding but mirabel literally asked her a question??? was she meant to just say nothing????? god forbid a woman wants to tell a fun story😭 these lyrics aren’t even mean either it’s literally just what happened “it was my wedding day we were getting ready and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky” “Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin” “Bruno said it looked like rain” “in doing so he floods my brain” where is the “mean” in this? where is the bitter?? mind you this is the one and ONLY time she brings up the wedding and it’s because mirabel wanted to know. like even if pepa was bitter she has every right to be! you would think growing up with a sister who you KNOW has weather depending on her mood and the anxiety that comes with it, would be enough of a reason to not make a bad taste joke! It was her WEDDING DAY!!!

Any other instance I see people stating pepa was “mean” is literally just she looked at mirabel funny. Im sorry if you had your seat taken at the table you would look at her funny too! it’s a look that lasts less than 3 seconds and mirabel is not bothered at all in fact she looks guilty! People say oh but the proposal but the woman was panicking! she got told like everyone else this was all happening because of mirabel! Pepa is passionate she can be sassy and she’s fiercely loving but she is not a mean bitter person and never was!!
