Seriously WTF C++?
There are quite a lot actually, even if we ignore engines and frameworks (though some of them are quite low level). Some of the biggest are Silk.NET, Vortice.Windows, SharpDX (the last one is dead but it still should work well).

What's the fastest way to get pixel data from a Bitmap?
In C#, that means you'll need something like Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET. If you just want WIC (and not a bunch of DirectX stuff, there's also a plain old WIC interop library. And if you don't mind a well-tested, yet end-of-life library, there's SharpDX.

How do you manipulate individual pixels in C#?
Microsoft has refused to support it. There have been community-made managed wrappers for DirectX, but SlimDX died years ago and SharpDX was abruptly abandoned and its github archived in early 2019. There's a new one called Vortice that seems to be trying to pick up where SharpDX left off.
