Wright replaced original Rodrick, Devon Bostick, in the fourth film in the franchise, igniting a persistent meme
Spreading silly memes is all fun and games until you remember that—more often than not—there’s a real person being made into the butt of the joke over and over and over again. That whole “ won’t see your posts, but your friends will” stipulation doesn’t really apply when is a brand new, teenage actor, and people are sending death threats directly to his inbox.
According to Know Your Meme, Wright was compared to Edna Mode and Trump himself, with a “Not My Rodrick” petition gathering a truly unhinged 20,000 signatures. In his video, Wright says he was also compared to Lil Tay and “Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka.” “Now, I’ll be honest, some of the memes were funny... the random death threats were a little disturbing,” he continued, showing that he still gets people in his DMs on Instagram and TikTok wishing him harm.
