Genuine question: why do so many people talk about Meg like she's vain? Like, how is wanting nice things and wanting to fit in 'vain'? I can understand people saying that about Amy, especially when she's a kid, but Meg is the sweetest of the four sisters next to Beth? And isn't vanity being too self-important? Am I missing something? (Sorry for all the questions, but I just do not understand)

I don't mind questions at all. Keep them coming :)

I have often wondered this myself. I wonder if it has something to do with Meg being more a feminine type of girl, and people attack her simply because she likes to be girlish and femininity is often connected with vanity. I don't know.

In the book, like you said Meg is not really a vain person. The whole Vanity Fair chapter, is really more about self-discovery and Meg's thinking about her own self-worth. These other rich girls, they treat her like she is a doll and they play dress-up games with her. In the end, Meg even said she could not recognise herself any more.

The 2019 film, completely missed the point in this (once again). Gerwig said that "Meg needs a day of from her miserable life". Meg in the book never thinks her life is terrible. Yes, she is poor, but in the end of the Vanity Fair chapter, it feels more like "I would not change my life for the lives of these girls. It is so hollow". If the person only watches 2019 film, and takes that narration, no wonder people think that Meg is a vain person.

I also think it is really hypocritical sometimes, the way Meg gets criticised, when she buys the silk for a dress. She was very poor and getting luxury items was pretty rare for her. That is not something a poor girl should be condemned. If we think about Laurie, he is written to be very dandy. A nice looking young man who likes to take care of his appearance. Jo even criticises how he buys expensive gloves and perfumes what not. Nobody, ever critices Laurie for that.

Total double standards.

Also, Laurie was a metro-sexual, before metro-sexuality was a thing.
