oh it's looking GREAT guys. love that they brought kali just so she can be a harbinger of death and be treated with suspicion by everyone in the show and in the audience alike (also the article didn't even bother to get her name right, what the hell). love that el's storyline will boil down to choosing her fuckass boyfriend or self martyrdom. awesomeeeee love that, totally not misogynistic writing. she can never decide what she wants for herself, it's only what she can choose from what other people want for her. #awesome

There is something incredibly sad about the fact that such a popular, mainstream show had the chance to do something truly revolutionary – something that could have made things better for so many real people – yet chose instead to betray its own values and hurt its most devoted fanbase in a deeply manipulative and genuinely disgusting way.

do the duffers know that part of accepting yourself as a romantic queer person means also accepting the fact that you feel those romantic feelings? you're supposed to let yourself feel them, not immediately try and chop it off like some sort of infected limb

stranger things harbored the largest, most blatant homophobic subreddit for a show of all time, on purpose? that was always their target audience? i'm still trying to wrap my head around that. they legit brought back 80s bigotry and succeeded. their version of outcasts, freaks, and nerds must've been code for incels and pick mes this entire time.
