Yes, but Monica never said the townsfolk were \

Yes, but Monica never said the townsfolk were \\\"wrong\\\" for not forgiving Wanda; just that they don\\\'t know what she had to lose to free them, which is factually correct regardless of if they would’ve forgiven her if they \\\'\\\'did\\\'\\\' know. And even if Monica \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' saying that the townsfolk are wrong for not forgiving Wanda, that doesn\\\'t mean the audience is supposed to agree with her.

The entry doesn\\\'t mention how Wanda herself told Monica that the townsfolk\\\'s opinion of her wouldn’t have changed even if they \\\'\\\'did\\\'\\\' know, further implying that the story wants the audience to agree with Monica. If we are meant to agree with Monica, then why would they show Wanda, who was horrified to learn that she had been torturing the townsfolk for days on end, disagreeing with her and evidently being rather accepting of the fact that she will most likely never be forgiven?

On top of that, the entry also implies that Wanda made the conscious decision to create the Hex when she didn\\\'t. Even if the entry is about the townsfolk and not Wanda, leaving out that detail makes the situation (and by extension, Wanda) look even worse than what was actually portrayed.

If the entry \\\'\\\'should\\\'\\\' be re-added, I would at least suggest a re-wording since, as it is now, I think it reads more like somebody giving Wanda the RonTheDeathEater treatment than an explanation as to why the InformedWrongness trope applies. Here\\\'s how I think the entry should go:

* InformedWrongness: When Wanda leaves the people of Westview, they all give her a collective DeathGlare. Monica tells her, \\\"They don\\\'t know what you sacrificed for them.\\\" While that may be true, think about it from their perspective. They\\\'re living their normal (if less-than-ideal) lives in Westview when a random woman suddenly comes into town and takes away their free will, brainwashing them all into conforming to a sitcom reality where everyone has a set role to play. [[AndIMustScream All while being fully aware of what is happening to them]]. Granted, Wanda never intended to create the Hex and is horrified to learn what she has been doing to the townspeople, but as Wanda herself points out, them knowing this wouldn’t change a thing. They would still hate Wanda for what she has done (accidentally or otherwise) and have every right to.
