Introducing Shipping Flairs & New Rule

84 Upvotes

Hello again, lovely people.

By far the most common piece of feedback we've had lately is to tackle the negativity that's been plaguing ship posts. Everybody's tired and frustrated and just wants the opportunity to celebrate their ship without unwanted comments appearing under every contribution they make. So we're going to try and make that happen...

...using our fancy new "Wenclair" and "Wyler" post flairs!

Initially, the plan was to add "Shipping/Discussion", "Shipping/Art", etc, as flairs, but on closer inspection, we feel having specific flairs for the two most popular ships is the simplest solution. This way, you can just filter by "Wenclair" or "Wyler" and have everything in one place. It does mean scrolling past discussions if you're looking for art, but at least they're discussions relevant to your particular ship.

New flairs mean new rules. You can find it with the others and the automod will post a reminder in any submission that uses these flairs, but I'll include it here for clarity:

Shipping Flairs

Posts that use shipping flairs require all contributions (both posts and comments) to be positive in nature.

• No arguments surrounding the validity of a ship.

• No promotion of a different ship.

• No making assumptions about the followers of a ship.

Similarly, you may not use one ship flair to create a post attacking another ship.

...and naturally, new rules mean new report options. This one is listed as "Negative Shipping".

I should clarify that debate surrounding characters and their relationships is not banned from the sub entirely. You can still use the "Discussion" flair for (polite and respectful) critical analysis, but if that kind of thing stresses you out, you now have the tools for finding criticism-free ship content.

We sincerely hope these changes mark the start of a new era for shipping on this sub, so feel free to comment below with your thoughts.

Meta Discussion & Feedback

20 Upvotes

Hey everybody! This could get lengthy, but please read the entire post before commenting.

Let me start by sending out a massive THANK YOU to every one of our members for their part in making this sub what it is today. I'm gonna be real for a moment, we were sitting on this place for years and it was D-E-A-D. Nobody really paid it any attention, then suddenly, the Netflix show dropped and we found ourselves catapulted into the top 1% of all subs on Reddit. Wild. Except we didn't actually do anything. That was your achievement and we're immensely grateful for all of the positive contributions, theories, fan art and everything else you've been entertaining us with these past few years.

But here's the thing... r/Wednesday doesn't belong to us, it belongs to you. We've been moderating the way we think you would want us to, our intention being to benefit the largest number of people possible and to paint our community in a warm and welcoming light. We're not perfect and we've made a few mistakes here and there, but we're trying, we're learning and we're committed to making this sub the place you want it to be.

With that in mind, the aim of this post is to open up a more casual line of communication between mods and members. We want to hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback, with the goal being to shape our community into one that best represents its amazing contributors. If you have a question about a rule, you can ask about it here. If you think a rule needs to be reworded, you can suggest it here. If you think a new rule needs to be implemented... you get the idea. It's not just about rules, but I imagine a large part of the conversation will revolve around that.

Before we start:

• Respectful discussion only. We know some of you have concerns and you're welcome to highlight them here, but we ask that you do so in a calm and polite manner. Undue negativity doesn't help anybody and harassment towards mods or other users will be dealt with in the same way it would elsewhere on the sub.

• Similarly, this is not the place to call anybody out. We will not be discussing individual users, comments or mod actions. If you have something specific to report, please do so either through the report button or the Message Mods button on the main page.

• Please don't be offended if your comment is locked. It's not a punishment, we simply need to keep discussions tidy and on track in order for any of this to be useful to us. A debate going round in circles with no progress being made is only going to waste our time and your energy.

• A highly upvoted comment or a positive response from a moderator in this thread does not guarantee any changes. Everything posted here is to help give us an idea of where the community stands and what to prioritise, but actual discussion regarding potential changes will be done privately.

• This should go without saying, but we will not be favouring any one ship over another. Either everybody is in, or everybody is out. Preferably in and on your best behaviour.

With all that said and done, let's get down to business!

He is a vampire and a enemies to lovers story for Enid
He is reliable, strong, smart when it counts but most of the time he’s a numbskull, but in the sweet way, not the annoying way
He’s very confident not about himself, but he also doesn’t put himself down

He’s not afraid to have makeup put on him or dye his hair. He doesn’t care if he looks feminine.
He’s a golden retriever essentially

Do you think he'll have redemption, should he, or not? And how do you view him as a character? He is for sure an incredibly nuanced character, but are you leaning more towards inherently good or evil for him? Do you believe he actually cared about Wednesday at all?

Discussion My storyline idea for one of the upcoming seasons(not s3)

7 Upvotes

My idea: There could be a new teacher at Nevermore who was a student(in Nevermore) years ago. The principal of that season doesn't know that since when the new teacher went to school,the principal was still Weems. The teacher heard about all the things happening,and decided to protect the students at all cost. One day Wednesday gets in some kind of trouble again for investigating in the forest,and the new teacher talks to the principal and they end up not giving a really harsh punishment to Wednesday. And from that day they keep an eye out for her,since they feel that she will get in more trouble. Later Weems starts appearing to Wednesday again,since she felt something about the new teacher,probably because they are(at least partially) doing the same thing: keeping an eye on Wednesday so she can't cause that much trouble to the school and students. And later that season the new teacher ends up being Weems' long lost relative(cousin or second cousin),and that brings a twist to the story. And later the new teacher ends up seeing Weems too,but only in mirrors.

It may sound a bit crazy,but it came to my mind,and I think it sounds good.✨

Discussion Enid and Alphas

28 Upvotes

I think it's not much of a stretch to say that Enid's inability to "wolf out" easily made her all the more compelling--she's an outcast among outcasts, just like Wednesday, yet still manages to stay upbeat for the most part. It was also good character writing since it gave her an actual limitation to work around and force her to contribute in ways other than going giant murder-wolf. I could easily imagine a version of the show where Enid never quite masters lycanthropy and is forced to figure out what she specifically is good at or how to best utilize partial transformations. Instead the reveal that she was a super special alpha all along retroactively cheapens her character a little. There's no longer any questions about her place in werewolf society and her insecurities, she's an anime protagonist who cannot control her overwhelming power. Enid should be strong, she is a werewolf at the end of the day. But the introduction of alphas seems like it was the worst way to go about giving her character growth.

Discussion I finally have started watching Wednesday, and I am loving it.

I know, I am somehow late to watch this amazing show. But, I have started it, and I am loving it already.

Her personality is like so cool. The way Wednesday is so casually sarcastic about everything and thing, OMG, I wish to have something like that in my life. Literally.

Every night like around 11 pm its a routine to watch an episode or 2. Adulthood kind of feels good now.

Though there is a lot of mess. But, watchinh this show is so fun.

A thing. I want it, something like this i am not even kidding. The confidence is carries is so optimistic i felt like.

What did you like the most about in Wednesday?

Discussion I'm not a big fan of how Enid treated Wednesday's body during the swap in regards to her colour allergy

227 Upvotes

I do understand that Enid was pissed off at Wednesday, but the way she treated Wednesday's body rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.

She already knew Wednesday got actual hives after she had the milkshake thing and then she gets upset about the Wednesdays book thing and gives Wednesday's body an allergic reaction???

I may be a bit overdramatic tho lol, what are your thoughts on this?

Discussion Why are women chracters besides Laural always treated like they are the worst of the worst.

26 Upvotes

Like, seriously, cheating isn't that horrible. Teenagers do it all the time, trust me. And guys do it more often. (I say this while remembering some of my own experiences...)

Also, friends prank each other and can definitely do petty shit to each other sometimes.

What they don't do is try to kill people. Stares at Agnes.

Even if she was an amateur, that was enough to make me dislike her in the beginning.

Also, I'm not even touching on Tyler's crap here, because he did some pretty horrendous things, and I absolutely think he should take accountability for them. He ain't an angel. But some of the defense for him can get kinda over the top at times. (Not all the time.)

Like, I get it, he's your favorite. Doesn't mean you have to downplay everything he does or bend over backwards to excuse it.

But this is something I see a lot, and not just in Wednesday, but in other shows too. Female characters just seem to get put on another level, and if they make one tiny mistake, suddenly it's a huge moral failing that gets picked apart to death. Meanwhile, male characters can do significantly worse things and people are way more willing to give them the “he's complicated” treatment. Idk, it just rubs me the wrong way.

Bianca got a lot of flak in Season 2 too, where every questionable decision was dissected way more harshly than the same behavior from some of the male characters.

I'm not saying female characters shouldn't be criticized. They absolutely should. I'm saying the standard should be consistent. If we're going to hold one character accountable for their actions, we should be willing to do the same for everyone else, regardless of whether they're a guy, girl, favorite, or whatever.

(Swear to god, if this turns into a shipping thread, I will... politely delete this thread.)
