"Stranger Things is a show for outcasts"

Lucas is continually sidelined, Billy gets more focus than him in s3 and his half-baked s4 arc results in his one black friend dying. One of the only other POC characters in the show is continually painted as suspicious/"a traitor." Racism is continually directed at black characters yet we never see their POV, only their oppressors.

One of the only queer characters' arc is used for the sake of uplifting a het couple, this boy who has been constantly tortured and abused and was convinced he would never find love is proven correct, he is forced by his rapist abuser to come out to a room of people he barely knows and opposed to receiving comfort and acceptance the entire scene is him reassuring them that he's still normal. His crush is dragged out up until the penultimate episode of the entire series to prevent him from having any actual romance, when every other character in the series has a romance. The one queer couple is developed entirely off-screen.

Female characters continually referred to as "bitches" and sidelined. Female characters written as being only allowed to be "independent" without romance despite this being untrue and not lining up with said characters arc.

Discussion about characters disabilities completely lost in the later seasons, and once again disabled characters are sidelined.

The Duffer brothers do not care about handling these characters with the care and love they deserve. They refuse to listen when the people of minorities they're working with speak up against their writing, or put said people of minorities in such uncomfortable positions in which they feel unable to speak up against it.
