HelpRe: Jessica
in reply to a message by Raya
Dated, annoying, and associated with the "basic white girl" stereotype just like Becky. I’ve never cared for it.

Not sure if this counts as "basic white girl" but the Jessica I knew had a playground fighting style so pathetic that we named the style of fighting after her; the "Jess Slap". This phrase has become so ingrained into us over the years that we still call it the "Jess Slap" no matter who is doing it, and my current best friend Becky (unrelated to the original Becky of the core friend group in primary school) who has never met Jess, calls it a "Jess Slap" through me so
What I'm saying here is that I have a very specific image for Jessica / Jess / Jessie, and it aint strength or bravery lmao
Think comedy programmes where two women are fighting, but neither one wants to actually get hurt so they stand slightly back and weakly wave their hands in a "slapping" motion at the other. That's a "Jess Slap" or "Jess Slapping" (present tense) / "Jess Slapped" (past tense).
It don't sway me from liking the name though, Jess was more than that even if she'd cower in the bathroom during the battle of Hogwarts.
