an angle that i think is underexplored with wkx is that he is very unpleasant to be around for the first third of the show because he is a fake, self-righteous gossipper. he talks shit about people behind their back with an insufferable, righteous air. he avoids vulnerability and lifts his voice to make clear he holds the monopol on being morally correct. ive seen him put into queen bee and mean girl clique leader roles but i think rather than this, he is much less self-contained and less self-aware as he is convinced he is. in media, the queen bee or the leader of a mean girl clique is calculatated, whip smart, self aware, and unapogoletic about it. she doesnt want to change, she likes what shes doing. she knows shes mean; she enjoys it. wkx thinks he is the underdog, but he has too much power to be the underdog anymore. hes like a white feminist girlboss thinking he is being oppressed when in actuality, he is on his best way to becoming what he seeks to call out. in our witch hunt purity culture public humiliation perfomative activism era, this is incredibly on the point
#this is also what zzs critisizes imo.#its not just wkx letting himself be consumed by revenge#this psychological exploration of a good and sustainable life with good and sustainable choices vs investing in energy draining stuff#its also that wkx is a trash talker who doesnt know where to put his power. and he is far too powerful to not safely know it#it is draining to be near him and know he is so incredibly wrong. he clearly didnt get out enough and it shows#to zzs he must seem to be exactly like jin wang#im pretty sure he gets some warflashbacks during some of wkx's worst moments lmao#wkx meta#word of honor#wen kexing#wen kexing from woh#my thoughts#let wen kexing be cringe
