I’ve already seen a post going around about not feeling bad for Mabel because she wouldn’t play the game with Dipper. I get that it’s been a while but I’m just going to refresh everyone’s memories about what happens when Mabel plays ‘nerd’ games with Dipper.

She loses.

She loses a lot.

Why would she want to play a game where he completely and utterly demolishes her time after time? Who would do that to themselves? She was all for the game when it mentions Unicorns and elves like, hell yeah she’s going to play it with him! But there’s a reason why the camera was on her face when Dipper started talking about Math Math and More Math.

Mabel has deep self conscious issues and you want her to play a game that would make that worse just for her brother to be happy? Sorry, I’m a pretty egotistical person but even I don’t want to play a game that is so out of my comfort zone just to make someone happy.

And yeah, she made fun of him. You know when she made fun of him after playing a game? Little Dipper.

“You’re better then me at, like, everything. And you always rub it in my face.”

I agree that there needs to be some communication and that Dipper should get an apology, but as an audience we also have to remember that Mabel is constantly thought of as the stupid twin.

Even by Gravity Falls fans.

Of course she doesn’t want to play a game centered around math. She only starts playing when she can just use her imagination. That’s what Mabel is good at.

Please let a twelve year old girl play towards her strengths rather than being torn down repetitively because she’s not as mathematically capable against a kid who can do this:

I wouldn’t even want to play against Dipper and I have taken three levels of calculus.
