You people have to stop making those fake Byler kisses with AI because every time I see one scrolling online it feels like you're one step closer to making a whole not consensual sex tape with the actors' looks and it should not be accepted anywhere 😭 even removing the fact that it's AI and it shouldn't be used in general

[thepiscesactor-deactivated20121]

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

[forgechildofheph]

Get off my fucking blog if you can’t reblog this.

[bylersbear01]

Is someone pretending to be the author of my fic on twitter?! Because someone in a TikTok commented about my fic the towel incident by Smalltownbyler on ao3 said that the author has a degree in writing and that the author posted them writing it on twitter which I don’t have and I never did. If someone can find the account on twitter for me I would appreciate it!

[threemanoperation]

There’s a post out there telling people to show up to cons and harass the Duffers, and please do not do this. People like them want to get under your skin, and the best thing you can do is rate stuff and leave reviews about how mediocre the whole thing was, and how it was a missed opportunity to actually do something groundbreaking. Nothing bothers them more than knowing they aren’t clever or special, and that other people know it too.

Bitch about them with your friends or on Tumblr or whatever (I am!!) but I promise you they don’t need more of your energy or attention. They’ll just be inspired to put out even worse stuff. Go make art and write instead!

[rgwriter]

Seriously?

After all these years of fandom, you guys are really going to let the Lumax reunion and the Steve apology "You die I die" and the gay main character who has suffered FOR YEARS finally coming out have a 5.4 rating? Be the LOWEST rated episode in the history of ST on IMDB?

Giving an opening for all those nasty articles to come out about the show of freaks and outcasts? I get some of the disappointment and the confusion. I even agree with the crowd of people following each other around and extended kids in a cult moment it's not my favorite. But Wow. Come on.

If you haven't voted, go give it a ten just to counteract all the hate.

[two4byler]

REMINDER TO GO ONTO IMDB.COM AND GIVE A 10/10 RATING ON EPISODE 7. THE HOMOPHOBIC MIDDLE AGED WHITE MEN ARE WINNING AND WE CAN'T LET THAT RUIN FUTURE REPRESENTATION IN TV.

[bylerbiscuit]

I don’t CARE if you didn’t like the way the coming out scene happened in ep7, go back to imbd and vote it an 8/10 or higher!!

The way we review bombed this episode truly did not help, it just made it look like we were “giving a handshake” to the bigots and homophobes.

We can do this!!! Get the rating higher!!

[tinkywinkypanbitch]

this is episode 7 of stranger things

STOP REVIEW BOMBING,if your a byler fan i am too, i get that your not happy with the byler but this is just going to show netflix teh audience doesn’t like queer representation

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

No matter what legitimate criticisms people have about The Bridge, it is not a 1/10 by any rational standard.

40% reviews at 1/10 makes it clear review bombing.

That said, there seems to be disagreement as to the source of the review bombs. I suppose it's tough to determine who is responsible. Most of them probably aren't writing reviews.

[princesspeartree]

Ok now that mr. Clark’s actor has also spoken against cutgate. It’s time to stop with the reviewbombing of only episode 7.

This isn’t to say vol 2 wasn’t disappointing and I understand why we chose to believe it. But the only thing Netflix will likely take away from the reviews is that people don’t want to see blatant queerness on the screen and further censor more shows just like they’ve been doing.

I’m not saying lie and rate the episode a 10/10 but don’t tank the reviews with ones bc even though our anger and disappointment is valid regardless of how the finale turns out, we shouldn’t associate ourselves with the people who hate the scene for completely different reasons from us.

Be honest in your review and leave an honest rating. I personally rated the episode 6/10, since it was honestly a nothing burger episode and the coming out scene leaves a horrible taste in my mouth regardless.

I hate the saying “be the bigger person” but we’ve been a community who bases themselves on analyzing and remaining grounded in the truth. We overcame scriptgate, we can overcome this. Let’s not be like other communities and continue rioting. Again none of us are wrong for wanting justice and being angry but we’ve gotten the word of a cast member saying it’s false. Besides, this is the internet, I’m sure there’s truth in what was being said. However, It’s time to own up and make things right.

You don’t have to agree with me and my last intention isn’t to sound like I’m on a high horse since I believed cutgate too. But I don’t want us to end up being what everyone says we are for lack of a better word.

[willbylersdefender]

if you actually review bombed ep7 because of some bs belief in cutgate PLEASE please go. change your review

this shit makes it look like we’re siding with the homophobes. this is embarrassing for the fandom

[catinnoodlez]

well, i guess it really was just bad writing at the end of the day.

[furiouswormoutpost-deactivated2]

For the love of god,

Stop talking and sharing links about cutgate.

Stop reviewing bombing “The Bridge” episode.

We’ve not seen the full season yet. I completely understand how unexpected volume two was. But the majority of you, are jumping to conclusions. Conclusions that don’t even have the full story yet, and that we will see in a couple days regardless.

All this is doing is making the byler fans look immature and crazy.

I, like the majority, did get major byler doubt from vol 2. But, that is not an excuse to behave like THIS. You can talk about all of this when we’ve seen the final, but until then, if you need a break from social media. Take one.

edit one: for clarification, you ARE contributing to mass homophobia about this episode, specifically about will’s coming out scene, if you are partaking in the review bombing. no matter your intentions behind the review you leave. it’s not fucking helping. all you’re doing is pushing queer representation back even more. so i plead with you to STOP.

edit two: i want to also clarify that the stuff from “cutgate” could be actually FINALE scenes, do i know this for sure? no, it’s just a theory, but still, please stop sharing it around.

edit three: the actor of mr clarke has come out and said “cutgate” isn’t real. this is why you should CHECK YOUR SOURCES BEFORE BLINDING BELIEVING IN SOMETHING… THIS is COMMON KNOWLEDGE i fear.

[kiwi-colaa]

a 5.5 star rating on episode 7 is actually so so so horrible and not a celebratory win for us guys

the episode in which we get a coming out scene from the main character being the worst rated episode of the series is NOT good

of course it was disappointing writing but this community’s ratings are being lumped in with the abundant number of homophobes who hated the episode not because the coming out scene was bad, but because it was a coming out scene in general.

this is an awful message, and the rating is clearly fueled by hate because a 5.5 rating does NOT objectively represent the episode. it was mediocre of course compared to most episodes of the show, but such a low rating is sending an awful message to EVERYONE. people will see this and think “oh queer representation in popular media is a horrible idea”

even elon musk responded to this saying that will’s gay arc “was completely unnecessary and forced on audiences who want to enjoy some basic sci-fi”

ARE YOU KIDDING, THIS IS HORRIBLE

in the political climate we need to band together and defend our representation. of course speak on why you’re disappointed, how the scene could’ve been done much better, but do it in ways that your intentions are CLEAR, not by review bombing an episode.

you don’t have to love the episode, i know lots of people were disappointed including me, but i’m personally giving it a good rating on imdb and spreading this to try to undo the damage and get the episode to just a normal rating.

[noihavenosanitythanksforasking]

the twt cutgate truthers bought a fucking billboard in times square what is going ON

[chromaerra]

Guys, stop please, it's like the thing the VLD Fandom did when the series ended the same sign petition but instead of a claim to Re-Do the whole season is one to release the "uncut material" of Vol.2

[pigeonrevere]

ok guys now that i've thought about it (and also slept) yeah cutgate isn't real 😭

i think it was just a bad decision to release episode 7 without also releasing the finale, especially with all the promo they've put out. they shouldn't have said that mike and will have a lot of scenes together and that finn has to carry emotional weight and then immediately given us probably the only episodes of the season where those things AREN'T true (mike is dealing with a lot, we just haven't seen the climax of that plotline yet but WE WILL and we've seen hints of it)

some of the editing is weird, like the scene from the trailer with mike and joyce sitting next to will where it just cuts off, but i think (i hope) we'll get a flashback to that scene when we get mike's pov next episode, or maybe there was a scene that got cut. unfortunately i think the elmax reunion scene was just bad/underwhelming which sucks

i think the reason that i and some other people reacted this way was just disappointment since i feel like we were promised something and then didn't get it, so we reacted with that disappointment instead of thinking about it. i'm really sorry guys 💔

also this does NOT mean that i don't think netflix should be held accountable/face consequences because yeah they should! but let's hold off until we see the ending

anyway yeah we still have the finale and most of the other plots have been wrapped up EXCEPT for byler. it's not over guys!!

btw if you reviewbombed the bridge PLEASE go back and change it. we were just disappointed but it's not THAT bad. the coming out scene was actually pretty good now that i've had time to marinate and we don't know how the story ends yet!!!

[nocth8]

I’m exhausted and I need to get this off my chest.

We are angry at the creators, and that totally makes sense. But seeing the 7th episode get mass-downvoted, especially by queer viewers, is disturbing. When an episode with a queer coming out is tanked, it doesn’t hurt the Duffers, or Netflix, or whatever. It sends a message that queer stories are “bad for ratings.” Come on! In the current political climate, that’s harmful for future queer rep.

At the same time, a lot of this rating-bombing is happening because of the cutgate. Something that was never confirmed and is very likely fake, based on fan theories and predictions about vol2. Watching people going crazy over an unverified rumor AGAIN is alarming.

And whatever we think about the writing or Netflix, Noah, a gay man, went through a lot to film that scene. I’m 100% sure he himself isn’t happy with how the scene turned out. But from his perspective, It must be painful for him to pour himself into such a difficult moment, only to watch the episode be attacked by so many people, including queer people. I’m just waiting for Noah to finally be free from this show, honestly. He’s been through enough already.

I’m not happy with the vol2 either. I’m unhappy with a lot of things: the main sci-fi plot, the way characters were twisted, especially Will and Mike, and how their relationship was handled. Even outside the Byler context, their special bond and unique connection got drained. But I just can’t understand destroying the rating of the ep7 (and I don’t support doing it with other episodes either), or freaking out over something unconfirmed. It’s completely counterproductive, guys. Calm down, please.

Overall, this isn’t criticism. It’s collective hysteria.
