When I attended a horror convention, Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in 1991 and the herbology teacher in the Netflix original, was a guest. I went to the microphone and asked her what it was like to work with Samuel L. Jackson in Black Snake Moan. The audience was stunned and Ricci was taken aback. She then said that Jackson was good to work with and in a miffed voice.
I then wondered what happened. It later turned out that Ricci had made a request to the convention not to talk about Black Snake Moan, but I was unaware of it. What was I supposed to do, read her mind? They should have emailed me about it.
Apparently, Wednesday is supposed to be relatable for those who are autistic, but I think autism gets a pass only if it's a young, cute girl. If it's a 29-year-old male, they get shunned. I dislike the double-standards on autism awareness.
What do I do? I loved the 1998 version of the Addams Family as a boy, I was ecstatic to see Wednesday played by Jenna Ortega, but was disgusted to see one of my most disliked actresses in the Netflix original.
How do I deal with this? I like Wednesday Addams the character, but I dislike Ricci. It is one of those things in which I like the character, but not the actress.
Why am I so different? Why am I the only one who doesn't like this Netflix series? Why is it okay to be autistic if you're a cute girl, but not if you're a man in his late 20s, early 30s?

So I read your whole post and I still don't understand why you hate Christina Ricci. Because she didn't respond well to your question? That's it?
Yes and it was humiliating because people were staring at me and the moderator was saying that we should just skip the question. How was I supposed to know she did not want to talk about Black Snake Moan, read her mind? And I do not hate her, I dislike her and do not want to support any of her work. Love the character, dislike the actress.
Okay. And? That still doesn't explain why you dislike her that much. It just doesn't add up. Nothing you said about her sounds bad enough (or at all) to have that kind of attitude towards her.
She was rude to me when I met her. So how can I enjoy Wednesday if I don't like the actress?
You sound like a baby.
And stop fooling us. I have read you responses here. This goes far beyond anything normal, you totally despise her, and all because she was supposedly rude to you. You're being a ridiculous clown. You've been rude to someone else before as well, it happens. Your level of butthurtess just shows how emotionally immature you are. Ridiculous baby.
I never was rude and if I was, it was an accident. If you're a fan of her, I understand, but I am not. Being autistic is hard.
No, Christina Ricci is already ugly and old.
And she is such a cretin. Can't believe so many like her.
I’m confused. You said don’t like Wednesday Adams because you don’t like Christina Ricci, and then you to bitch about autism double standards?
Because Wednesday is supposed to be relatable to autists. Only if you're female and cute. I'm autistic and bad with communication, yet they shunned me. I'm a man, I wouldn't have gotten that treatment if I was a cute girl.
Still dont how Christina ricci fits into this?
She was rude to me when I met her, so how do I like a series if I don't like the actress?
