I like how Adrien straight up treats Marinette like shit. Literally harasses her night and day. He’s sarcastic and mean and cruel, and implies that she was lying about going out with friends! When he is literally the one that lied to his friends and blew off their plans and manipulated them into feeling so bad for him that HE LITERALLY RUINED THE ENTIRE NIGHT FOR ALL OF THEM. And then he has the gall to treat Marinette like shit for not going out with him. He literally refuses to help her defeat the Akuma until she apologizes to him. He literally punishes her for not going out on a date with him.
And people still have the audacity to claim Marinette's a stalker while defending every single thing Adrien does.
Are we watching the same show?
Marinette's feelings are constantly invalidated by the narrative and her abuser.
She's relieved to know her tormentor is gone "she's selfish and shouldn't be celebrating something like that, that's terrible"
She's out with her friends and tells Adrien (as Chat Noir) she'll be out with friends "she's apparently playing with his feelings and has to apologize in order for him to get his act together"
She rejects him once again because she is in love with someone else (she has told him this countless times) "he refuses to help her fight in battle and she's back apologizing again" for something she shouldn't have to apologize for
She's under restrictions of telling anyone. the secret Master Fu told her, Adrien knows this and goes out of his way to threaten to let millions of people drown all because of it. Again Ladybug is apologizing as if it's her fault.
She wants to out Lila as a liar because she lies and manipulates people, Lila has ruined Marinette's reputation, Marinette is furious. "But wait! As long as her and Adrien both know does it really matter?"
Yes Adrien, yes it does matter. Lila has been lying and manipulating people and also ruining Marinette's reputation and framing her. But yet again we see Marinette is either punished for feeling the way that she feels or her feelings are downplayed (thrown in the closet)
Adrien (as Chat Noir) knows Marinette has feelings for someone else and insisted on a date with her. He also knew she had plans with friends that night. So it was expected that she wouldn't show up, why is he angry again? Because she didn't show up on a date she never agreed to going on and yet it's her who's doing the apologizing.
See how it's always her doing the apologizing when she's not even at fault.
If the show was actually written by people who have their priorities straight and not misogynistic Marinette would have someone tell her that it's okay to feel the way she feels. Her feelings are valid and that she shouldn't have to apologize for feeling the way she feels.
She's not being selfish, she's not being mean, she's not being a bitch.
She's feeling what she feels and it's valid
