[stinkylittlegnome]

Sam Gamgee strikes me as the kind of guy who would post a picture of himself holding a fish

[stinkylittlegnome]

I know hes canonically scared of boats or whatever, but he still has. the aura. of a fish holding guy

[stinkylittlegnome]

You get it you understand my vision

[mirkwoodest]

It's because he's actually a guy who takes a picture of himself holding a prize-winning vegetable, which is a species with the same genus as fish-holding guys.

genuinely. there is something So disgusting to me about them building an entire season around

a villain who targets people who are already struggling and implied to be suicidal

the unjust demonization, alienation, and persecution of people who are different, namely those who are poor, neurodivergent, gay, etc.

and then those two building blocks of the season end with:

a poor, abused, suicidal teenage girl who fought tooth and nail to keep going ultimately being tortured to death and then stuck in a coma with all of her fucking bones snapped and her sight potentially gone

a poor boy who struggles in school and is an outcast and treated like a freak for being himself, who only wants to fucking graduate high school and be a better person than his shitty father being falsely accused of murder, hunted down by people who want to kill him, painted as a coward by the narrative for making reasonable choices, ultimately dying a pointless death and being remembered as a murderer.

like. not to even mention the way that a gay kid's struggle with his sexuality and feelings for his best friend are ultimately just used to push that friend closer to his girlfriend. like. god i'll probably end up writing something more articulate about this later but i am So deeply disappointed and i don't understand why the duffers would choose to engage with these themes if This is how they were gonna handle them.

my mom has gotten addicted to watching scott the woz videos under the guise that it’ll make her the expert at selling video games at her retail space and sometimes she’ll tell me a video game fun fact and she’ll go “you know who taught me that? scott” like he’s a professor shes on first name basis with

[campyvillain]

Not weird when you realize they don’t care who dies. They don’t care if you get an illegal abortion and die from it. They don’t care if the gun was purchased legally or illegally and you die from it

They don’t care if you die. That’s not the arguments they’re making. They’re only focus is on themselves and they believe they’re above all of this anyways. So who cares if you die? At least it’s not them.
