It really does hurt, and it's one of the reasons I find such connection and emotional attachment to cartoon girls as opposed to real ones. I've been where Frankie has been and I've felt that same powerful pains that Frankie feels, yes she's a strong woman and she's able to hold her own, but she's still lonely.
The commentary is indeed proof of that. Even if everything Bloo was doing to her was a load of crap about the mall incident, Frankie was the one who brought up her lack of social life and emotional trauma with Wilt. Let's be honest, Wilt isn't a bad guy but as Frankie put it, it is weird to have an IF prom date.
What Frankie did is a textbook example of how powerfully painful isolation can become. Frankie's need to have "someone" to go to prom with showed her need for a companion, someone she wanted to go with and the fact Wilt was the one she went with, shows she couldn't really find a date and that's deeply hurtful.
How anyone can't recognize what Frankie has to offer is a miracle to me, and I have felt that way for a long time. Frankie punching out Dylan proves she can stand up for herself, but in the end, she's still alone and it makes me feel for her. She was SO happy to getting dressed up when she dated Dylan.
And it's so sad when someone devotes so much love and only ends up getting hurt in the end. Take Fifi La Fume from Tiny toons, very similar. She's a compulsive romance nut and dreams of having her own boyfriend. But the fact she's a skunk drives away alot of people who can't stand her fowl odor.
In the "How I spent my summer vacation" video, Fifi actually found the skunk boy of her dreams, but he ended up totally taking advantage of the fact she'd do anything for him and ended up eyeing a prettier girl instead. Frankie's date can end comically or sadly, either way it doesn't change she got hurt.
Frankie is someone who deserves better and most of all, she deserves what others DO NOT deserve: love, family, trust. There are lots of people who don't deserve the girls that love them and it's a true crime against nature, and I can only hope and prey that the karma train one day comes and runs their ass into the ground for it.
Much like Frankie's fist did for Dylan.
