Stranger Things Shipping Discourse: Byler vs Mileven

Disclaimer: rude comments and rude people will be blocked!

Online fandom spaces are just truly insufferable these days and honestly I don’t even know why. Strangers season five has finally arrived and people on TikTok and probably on other online spaces are dogging other people for shipping Byler (Mike x Will). Like…since when did a ship have to have any sort of cannon evidence or proof for people to like a ship? Like why are yall taking the ship in an actual literal sense? I don’t get it? Have people not heard of fan ship? Where is the fandom etiquette? It’s so annoying because it makes me think these people are genuine bird brains, like the way they go to war to prove that Mike and Eleven are endgame never fails to blow my mind. Not only do I see this type of stuff happen in the strangers things fandom, but it happens all the time in other fandom spaces and it’s beyond me. It’s actually so concerning and annoying that people are really bothered.

Fandom spaces are no longer fun and you can’t ship anything without people losing their minds. Also, I’m not a fan of byler, but I can see why people would ship the two of them. I mean when I was younger, watching earlier seasons like season two seeing how protective Mike was over Will after they rescued him from the upside down, I can see why people ship those two. Not to mention Will clearly has feelings for Mike, so it makes even more sense for people to want to ship them. Once again I don’t ship it cause I’m not deeply into the stranger things fandom, but I do think it’s a cute ship.

A little advice for people who get all bent out of shape over people’s little fan ships, how about we understand that disengaging is totally an option? How about you scroll, click disinterested? Like sometimes you don’t have to leave your opinion on why you don’t ship a certain pair of characters because at the end of the day it’s not real and why do you care so much?

I was going to write a dark fanfic and tell me why someone goes, “we don’t like them types of fanfics, so we advise you not to write that.” …..like yall have lost your rabid ass minds on this app. All yall do is police people, complain and act morally superior when you’re in fact not. You’re just a loser, sitting on a high horse trying to be better than other people. Like if you don’t like certain stuff that’s okay, but why bash others for it or harass them? Jesus Christ I miss it when no one gave a fuck and people wrote whatever they wanted. Nowadays you can’t do nothing without the morally superior warriors coming at your throat, they never fail every time man.

I hope one day normal people leave fandom spaces that are for nerds and stuff. Like Jesus you guys are insufferable man. Now I don’t even wanna write the fanfic anymore like way to kill my fun and joy!

Okay, but like unpopular opinion: WARNING, YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS AND IF YOU TRY ME YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!! PERIOD⚠️

As a black Sinners fan sometimes I feel really torn about the whole Remmick discourse on here. Sometimes I agree with some points people make while other times I literally roll my eyes because are we being so serious? Like…some of yall are truly chronically online, wannabe social justice warriors and musty wannabe morally superior losers. Like I’m sorry I had to say it. Like the way some of yall be on here fucking with people because they like something that you don’t really BLOWS my mind.

How are yall mad because people walked out the theater and simp for Remmick more and fixate on him more than other characters??? Like, okay, yeah I get it. Sinners is a deep black story about oppression, colonization, culture vultures and stuff but like….yall act like people can’t understand that and like what they like. Not to mention it’s hella black people on here who like Remmick, not just white people and yall still be mad talking about some, “omg why is there so many Remmick fanfics under the sinners tag” well because people like him. He’s a likable character just like many of the other characters.

Then don’t even get me started on people harassing others for certain ships. Like okay yeah I don’t ship it either but is harassing them really the answer??? No!!! LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE!!! Bring back fandom etiquette!!! Yall be grown asf messing with people. Don’t yall have jobs? Girlfriends? Boyfriends? SHIT, FRIENDS?? Get off the internet and take a hike cause it’s never that serious. Yes, many of us despise the ship but that doesn’t give us the right to straight up harass them. Let them enjoy their little ships. There’s a reason why blocking exist. Not to mention you can deadass mute tags, god some of yall are lame asf!!

Anyways, if you take offense to this then honestly you’re probably young and dumb, or either just an insufferable grown ass adult who needs to grow up. And don’t hit me with that, “oh you like Sammie x Remmick” because no I don’t. But I do like Remmick a LOT and yall ain’t gonna shame my black ass for it tf!

okay, bye now thanks for joining me in my small little ted talk, peace out ✌🏾
