Is it too woke of me to say that 90% of the SNL episode with Finn Wolfhard felt oddly disturbing
It didn’t feel like the jokes were directed at the show itself, but digs at the fans. Something like a “here, damn”.
Conformity gate being addressed in itself isn’t an issue, but Lucas joking about Max acting like she’s in a coma during sex was… something
I know it can be interpreted as a pillow princess, lays back and thinks of England, kind of joke, but it’s still a very strange thing to say.
Adding on to that, I know they’re not meant to be in character. It’s a parody. That said, why was most of the humour just… misogyny.
Dustin saying “oh yeah I briefly dated that weird nerdy girl that helped us save the world and never talked to her again” and Lucas making that joke about Max??
Finn saying in his monologue that Stranger Things is where he learnt how girls look ‘down there’ right after showing a clip of both him and Millie as 11 year olds?? Who chose this
That other skit where it’s just Finn’s ‘girlfriend’ being annoying as hell + acting like a boy and that’s the whole joke? Men hating a woman?? That’s the joke????
The skit of Will’s coming is another example.
I don’t care how many people say it’s mocking the writing and show, the jokes they used were literally stolen from the homophobes in TikTok comment sections.
If it were mocking the writing, they wouldn’t have made a dick joke — they would’ve poked fun at the entire city being in that room but no. It was mocking the character and the acting.
Because here’s a shocker folks: most straight people didn’t care that the writing was bad, they were annoyed that the scene existed at all. It could’ve been the most perfect scene ever and they would’ve still hated on it and called it unnecessary
It’s also very hypocritical of the people enjoying this skit to laugh and enjoy a joke where a 16 year old says he likes dick but crucify fans online writing/drawing scenarios in which he gets to explore that in a serious manner
It wasn’t labelled as fetishising when Nancy and Steve had a sex scene in season 1 or Nancy and Jonathan had one implied + a pull out joke. Or when Billy, a minor, set out to fuck a grown woman + was ogled by multiple mothers. Or when Max talked about Billy having girls over and hearing them moaning
Apparently being minors is only an issue when it’s queer? Unless you can laugh at it of course, in which case it’s fine to have a minor saying “I like dick”.
All this episode told me is people are fine with queerness as long as they can mock it.
The heated rivalry skit is praised because it’s making fun of the show, while the actual show is hated by those same conservatives laughing at SNL
Maybe I’m too woke. But just I’m so tired of this bullshit. It feels like we’re regressing and it’s so disheartening to realise that not even the actors give a shit and are kind of vapid
The only ones who seem to ACTUALLY care about the real issues/meaning/consequences of this fuckass show are the women and Noah. All of them conspicuously absent in this episode but talked about in the most disgusting ways
