Honestly it feels like the Nancy love triangle in stranger things was all about the Duffer bros.
Steve feels like a revenge fantasy for all the boys that bullied them. Always being held accountable for his actions by others and himself in S1 rightfully so even when his actions might be somewhat understandable. Explains the massive amount of physical and emotional punishment he was put through. Why his character was regressed in S5 to be a version of Steve Jonathan thought he would be in S1 and became the but of everyone's jokes even his dream were made fun of. And his character ending becoming a skirt chaser stuck in high school. And never being allowed to move past Nancy.
Nancy also fells like a revenge fantasy for all the girls that said no. Being punished by Barbs death for choosing to have sex with Steve in a healthy teenage relationship to that point anyway and we were supposed to be angry at Nancy for it. Having her character attacked by both Jonathan and Barb simply because she was ready for a relationship and sex and they weren't at the time and in S2 cheating on Steve with Jonathan in a Completely FUBAR way. I mean seriously a 40+ year old man gets 2 minors drunk then mentally and emotionally manipulates them into having sex why more people aren't disgusted by this is beyond me and yet we are meant to be rooting for her and Jonathan in S2 despites she's in the wrong here. Her disgusting treatment from Jonathan and Steve in S1 at least Steve was rightfully held accountable for that but more importantly took personal accountability and her continued mistreatment from Jonathan through out all seasons.
Jonathan fells like he represents the duffer bros themselves . This drugged up loser was never once held accountable for anything ever. Those disgusting photos of Nancy and Steve in S1 i find it deeply concerning that it was shown that Nancy never understood what had really been done to her. Jonathan violated her in one of the worst ways imaginable that's not in a physical manner and she's all like this guys a catch better hitch my wagon to his before somebody else does WTF. Completely ignoring the blatant sexism and misogyny Nancy suffered in S3. Turning a blind eye to the constant humiliation she was subject by the A-holes at the post literally telling her welcome to the real world. If someone treated a female i love actually any female like that then you bet your ass I'm saying something I'm not looking the other way like that knob. The constant lies to Nancy in S4-5 throwing away her favourite pink sweater his pathetic insecure behaviour towards Steve all this and then some and no consequences what so ever not once.
S1-4 i absolutely love but S5 just seems like piss poor written fanfiction with Jonathan as the quasi main character. I remember reading before S5 release that the duffer bros had read/saw a lot of fan theories and no one got it right yea because no one thought S5 would be so crap.
Sorry for the rambling just wanted to get all this of my chest. Maybe I'm wrong here but just my opinions.
And oh yea screw the duffer bros.
