Allison Williams Reveals What White People Ask Her About Get Out

[sourcedumal]

They want the white woman to be innocent so bad. Because we as a society have been trained to protect white women thanks to white supremacy. So that’s why they keep asking. “But white womanhood is still good and pure, yes?”

If Kali were a white boy with a visible jawline, you know the stranger things fandom would be fawning all over their angsty little antihero. Episode 7 would not be considered “boring filler,” and Kali and crew would have aesthetic moodboards, fan art, and headcanons out the wazoo.

But since she’s a dark skinned brown girl giving consequence to the remorseless white men who systematically abused her as a child she’s mean

Then, with all eyes on her, Serena emerged in a dramatic strapless, belted Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen princess gown with a cape, carrying a bouquet of white roses and sparkling with jewelry by XIV Karats, worth $3.5 million in total. Alexis, in an Armani suit, was smiling from ear to ear as Serena slowly walked up the aisle to join him. The couple wrote their own vows. Alexis’s called Serena his queen and said that they already have their princess. With a bold, confident voice, he talked about how she takes such good care of everyone in her life, and now he wants to spend the rest of his life taking care of her. His words led to laughter at the start—“I will always have bad jokes that make your eyes roll, make you give me the side eye”—but by the end, everyone was crying happy tears: “You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport,” he told Serena. “I’m talking about as a mother and as a wife. I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together. And my whole life I didn’t even realize it, but I was waiting for this moment. And everything that I have done, everything that I am so proud of in my career, and in my life, for the last 34 years, pales in comparison to what we’re doing today. And I am so grateful, and I am so in love.

okay full offense and i know this wont make complete sense but im honestly disgusted that episode 7 has the lowest rating of season 2 and the scathing article GQ wrote about Kali and her “murder teen crew” as they called it. 

they literally said that the episode offered nothing towards eleven’s development like??????? its a standalone episode where for once Eleven isn’t focusing all of her energy on Mike or following Hopper’s rules like she gets guilty and ultimately comes home we KNOW that but there has been such little information about who Eleven TRULY is and what exactly happened to her and what everything represents like ??? hell fuckin yeah episode 7 was necessary for her character development.

like im so sorry that the little girl isnt thinking about her puppy love but is instead actually learning to “grow up” as Hopper said and take matters into her own hands and figure out just who she is (because a hero’s journey cant exactly be complete or consistent if they don’t eventually find their sense of self!!!)

ALSO Kali’s character is fucking necessary for eleven because she stands as her foil, a parallel character who reflects the anger and raw energy that eleven is afraid to tap into (ringing any bells about a certain scene in ep 7????) and the murder “teen” crew wasn’t even a teen crew to begin with like these were grown ass adults who were misfits, people used and chewed up and spit out by society that ultimately chose to fight back. Everything about Kali’s character and her group symbolizes an untamed resistance that most CERTAINLY existed in the 80′s, and isn’t anything that shouldn’t be touched on in the show. 

Eleven is never going to be the cute little girl carrying around a box of eggos with her torn pink dress forever. she has to shed that image and grow into the adult and hero she was destined to become, and if it means the “””””””””rebellious””””””””” teen phase with smudged eyeliner and slicked back hair and a band of misfits beside her then all right i’ll take it, but don’t suggest that episode 7 wasn’t important to her development 

there is SO MUCH MORE to eleven that we need to discover and the fact that they treated episode 7 like it was trash is so fucking insulting (and don’t think for a second that i’m not gonna pull the race card too! if kali had been a feisty doe-eyed white brunette with the SAME exact hair and outfit yall would be MUCH MORE VOCAL about episode 7)

one of the things the absolute helplessness–and need to please one’s captor–of jane’s experience of abuse is that, if you put a human in that situation, they learn to shunt aside their own anger because their own survival demands it. it’s a lesson that goes so very very deep.

it took meeting kali and having the CHOICE to have the power to harm one of her abusers to connect with stuff inside her she’s shoved down deep for a long, long time

it bothers me how many people in the fandom want her to be “pure” and not angry… she has the right to that. she’s not a cute pet, she’s a human being and terrible things were done to her. she has a right to be angry, to say no, to push back, to chart her own course, to make her own decisions

and, honestly, kali has a right to kill the men who tortured her. there is no justice for her in the justice system - without any other recourse, she has a right to seek vengeance if she can on the men who hurt her. it isn’t pretty or sweet, but she has a coherent set of ethics.

she’s not going around killing randomly for the fun of it. and she respects jane’s decision once she gets that killing is really not what jane wants or needs; her objection is that jane not take away HER choice

[mswyrr-deactivated20181203]

#i was so surprised there was a lot of hate for that episode#i enjoyed it#and it really seemed like a necessary episode for jane ( isagrimorie )

It could have potentially been placed better within the season (coming right after a “cliffhanger” probably frustrated a lot of people who wanted to know what happened next in Hawkins) and, as a friend of mine pointed out, it might have been good to have it be the B plot of a series of episodes rather than one whole episode separate from the rest. However, the folks who are ranting and railing that Kali is the second coming of Satan are really really confusing to me, as are the folks who despise the idea of Jane being angry or violent.

[sonneillonv-deactivated20220218]

Kali’s a brown woman and she’s angry, and the targets of her anger are a bunch of white men who she has decided should actually suffer permanent consequences for their crimes.  From where I stand, the idea that white men should actually suffer consequences for committing heinous crimes against brown women has always made some people lose their shit.
