Yeah that's my feeling on the trope. Can't say I'm a fan.

However for Gravity falls I thought it was pretty clear dipper was respecting Wendy's no but still struggled with his own personal crush? There was an episode I liked where young!wendy crushed on him and he found it weird and has a lightbulb moment on how Wendy must feel. Then they were basically just friends without a weird crush in the mix?

I used it as an example because I encountered a tumblr post that was Wendip shippers going "She really loves him! She wants him sooo bad but she knows he needs to be older to date so she was only playing hard to get! He'll come back the next summer and she can tell him her true feelings!" and normally I am a very ship and let ship person and how much gut NO that post caused me to feel surprised me.

I thought the show itself handled it very well and was very respectful both of him having feelings and her not returning them and nothing was wrong with that. It wasn't an obstacle to overcome, it was just a fact of life and I really appreciated that.

I have no problem with Wendy/Dipper but that particular interpretation is just...weird. You have to be in some pretty deep denial to think that she loves him in a romantic sense and is "playing hard to get" (seriously??).
