Tics and Tourettes Basic Symptoms and Terminology- An Introduction

What are tics? 

Tics are sudden, recurrent, and meaningless motor movements or vocalizations

Tics are either Simple or Complex. 

Simple tics MOTOR (movement) tics: brief, meaningless movements, such as; eyes blinking, eye movements, grimacing, head jerks, or shoulder jerks.

Complex Motor Tics: slower, longer, more purposeful movements, rarely seen in the absence of motor tics. Ex) touching objects/people or oneself, dystonic movements, obscene gestures (copropraxia). 

Simple Vocal Tics: sudden, meaningless sounds or noises Ex) barking, sniffing, throat clearing, grunting. 

Complex Vocal Tics: includes utterance of syllables, words, phrases, or statements, odd patterns of speech, ecophenomenon, or obscene, inappropriate and suggestive statements (coprolalia).

People who say Wanda enslaving a small town as a way to cope with grief are used to seeing women suffer instead of women getting angry.

This fetishism of tragedy, having to make sure a woman's emotional expression fits in with the traditional feminine narrative - crying, not screaming; hysterical but not violent - focusing on the victimhood instead of anger when it's righteous, is a product of internalised misogyny. Most of the time, women are societally conditioned to induce sympathy rather than show their strength.

What she did was wrong, on all levels. But was it an expected response to losing everything, for the, what, second, third time? Absolutely. Wanda deserves to experience anger in all it's ugly, hurtful blaze. She deserves to "punch a hole in the drywall" so to say, on par with her male counterparts. It doesn't make her actions right, but it offers some insight.

I doubt that was what Marvel was trying to show us, being a product of corporate moneymaking conveyor and all, but that's what I took personally.
