Saying they should leave is flat out wrong too. Forcing a whole town to leave is ultra-selfish.
And what happens if the townspeople did leave? Just Wanda, Vision, Billy and Tommy in an empty town together? WTF you expect out of a situation like that?
It just doesn’t make sense. “And they all lived…er…happily ever after. In a small town. With just the 4 of them. Because everyone else left because they were suffering.”
Journey, can I move into your house and force you out? I don’t even need the whole city, or even the neighborhood. Just your home/apartment/whatever.

I wish sometimes the whole thing was fake. The town, the people, everything. But the MCU decided to saddle her with something unforgivable as well. I hate this modern take on the character as a perennial screw up. When for decades she was the responsible one of the twins. It's just so weird how different modern Wanda is versus older Wanda.
Love is for souls, not bodies.
Applying real world logic to a TV Show with magic witches & robots ain't working as an analogy, clearly the twins were real in some capacity otherwise the ending & MoM make no sense she should have left the spell up to give her some time to figure out a permanent fix for them, Viz was unfortunately a lost cause. If they had a problem with that & living near Wanda while she figures out her shit, then hell yeah they could have packed they shit & left that's not selfish that's they choice to make if you that miserable leave *shrugs*
The show made it pretty clear they could not leave. Some were even in suspended animation. Some were stuck in an animated loop. They did not have free will.

Which is why I've said, if this is what they want Wanda to be, then they should have made it apparent they were rebooting her. Keeping her old canon, while having the contrary modern stuff just makes things worse. Older fans are still gonna have a hard time reconciling new with the old. Anyone that goes back and reads the older stuff is gonna be confused. Especially if they expect what they've been told the character is by fandom.

The Hex was pretty much a monkey's paw for Wanda; it tricked her by presenting a surface of harmlessness and comfort. The Hex was kind of like Venus; thick pure cloud's concealing the hell within. She didn't question the Hex because she knew Vision and the kids would have to die if she did.
I would have preferred they had Wanda actually figure it out herself over the course of the show, what was going on, and the big reveal would be Wanda discovering that she created the Hex, and she and Vision wrestling with that.
I would hope that her narrative will be her mastering Chaos Magic and taking the fight back to the being who bestowed that power on her. I fear we are going to get "oops Wanda messed up yet again".
Still, at least we are seeing Strange mess up as well. I must admit that felt...reassuring.
Also, isn't making the world forget who Spiderman is, a form of mind rape? Literally mind-wiping millions, maybe billions of people.
Talking about living up to the standards of how fandom antis describe a certain type of stans.
Like seriously, we can talk about the offpage reasons of why they frames Wanda this way, but excusing the ever living heck out it is again, living up to others' accusations of you.
It's kinda funny because Strange got all kinds of people saying it's not him, he is under some influence, etc.
While when WV is airing, people are shoving all kinds of fan theories a lot of which specifically aimed to make people think Wanda is the villain.
It's just a small perception about how the general public view those two.
Not saying Stephen doesn't deserve his defense squad or something, but the general fandom is too happy to throw Wanda under the bus and make her the villain, breeding mare for everyone else's favs.
