i think what really gets me is they wrote a fucking tragic ending but presented it as a happy one. it seems clear to me they wrote mike as a closeted gay man. even till the very end, there is subtext about mike and about byler. but will ends up in a bar with a random boy and mike ends up alone in his room with the painting from will on the wall. he talks about a story he can never tell and cries putting his binder next to will's. he never said i love you back to his girlfriend before she died. it's fucking tragic, but they couldn't even commit to that. it's wrapped up in looking like a happy ending to everyone but the queer people who devoted our time, love, and attention to their story. we are left devastated in a way nobody else can see, as if that doesn't already happen to queer people enough.
reblogging both duffer hate posts and conformitygate posts
the duffers calling bylers "noise" and they always intended for will's storyline to be unrequited FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF
byler in their own damn world lmfao
it's going to be so fucking funny if derek is just following him around in his rainbow shirt the whole time like the ghost of mike wheeler's repressed homosexuality

the GA getting into conformitygate but somehow missing the whole gay part is so funny like what do they think is happening... we're under vecna's curse bc of the hand placement yeah ok.... And..... what about the character's endings is so bad that it would be vecna's curse.... think a little more... what does conformity mean ❤
