I'm so disgusted with the treatment of Kali Prasad. The fandom carries more grief for a child abuser than they do for a teenage girl who's entire life was spent terrorized and exploited. She found a little rag tag group of people she loved and watched them die. They brought her back just to torture her and kill her. They teased "No major characters die". They decided an teenage indian girl that was pivotal to Eleven's strength isn't "major".

And to add insult to injury, Hopper just let her get shot. And he didn't care. He still doesn't. Her life meant nothing to him.

Rest in Peace Kali. I loved you. I wished for you to find some peace.

only taking away eleven’s happy ending isn’t a good look when you realise she is the only one out of the main group who was abused and tormented throughout their whole life. the realism excuse doesn’t work here when max gets to walk again, and hopper survived that explosion in s3.

"there was never a version of the story where eleven was hanging out with the gang at the end. for our characters to move on and for the story of hawkins and the upside down to come to a close, eleven had to go away."

this also implies that el was a burden to everybody else & for them to be happy, she has to die. it sends a gross message and with all the other fuck ups recently, i just think the duffers should never write an lgbtq+ character, an abuse victim OR a female character ever again. they clearly have no idea how to navigate that and what they did to el, kali, will, robin and vickie really makes that clear to me.

i’ll always love this show as i grew up with it… but i hope they never get to write complex storylines again 🤷‍♀️

edit: just found out they said they didn’t kill off max because she went through all that trauma and it would be “mean”… the duffer brothers truly never saw el as a human. they saw her as a machine

I’m not even embarrassed for shipping byler, I’m embarrassed that I defended the show whenever someone would say something like “it is taking too long between seasons, no one cares anymore”

because you know what I should have said instead of giving explanations for the delay (writer strike, long production time, careful writing to make a good story) I should have said: you’re right, stranger things is shit and no one should care anymore

took all that time to write the worst finale of all time.

Gay characters? Fuck em, send em far away and don’t clarify if the wlw couple is still together

women of color? Fuck em, bring them back to the story to show everyone in their found family was murdered and then shoot them in the fucking stomach after being berated and disrespected by the white cop all season

the main character that has been abused, tortured, isolated her whole life? send her to another fucking continent all alone where no one she loves will ever see her again
