The War Between Privacy and ⚔External Validation⛓

[Warning: This blog is on a hiatus from normal until those two boys on Stranger Things kiss. 🖼💫] I post actual feminist content that doesn't cater to males. Gender-Critical/Radfem. Atheist. I post what I want, and my latest fixation is Stranger Things. I relate very hard to "problematic" characters, and, often, I ship them. The truth is never hateful. What you do with the facts is up to you.

So, as it turns out...

If Byler was never going to happen, Noah Schnapp wasn't going to spoil it. So they shut him down any time he wanted to speak on the subject because they wanted a gay man to partake in baiting an audience of hopeful young gay and bi people who wanted to see themselves represented on screen.

They scapegoated him and shamed him as a group in multiple interviews when he said even the most innocuous things so that they could easily control him, knowing he would be the one who would want to warn fans what was coming. They made him seem untrustworthy or like a loose canon so he'd feel his career was threatened if he decided to say anything that might prepare for fans, people just like him, for an upcoming heartbreak.

That is beyond psychologically abusive, all so they wouldn't risk losing cash from their most bigoted viewers, viewers who have shown time and again how much they despise people like him, and characters like Will.

You cannot make that up. This is not something any gay actor should be forced to go through, because it sends a powerful industry message.

The Duffers are sick for that.

tbh if someone just handed me a pressure washer and set me loose in the streets i would go into a trance and just start hosing shit down indiscriminately. it's not a question of how much i could clean, but how long until i get hit by a car and die

so many people post like they are from the dimension of No Misogyny because the misogyny all around them just registers to them as fine and normal

they stopped casting attractive young men in hollywood movies because the older ones were tired of competing for the same young women to date so now women have to pretend jacob elordi and thimothe chalamit are anything of substance. they have to wait for scraps to fall from the nepotism machine. watch and observe #society

the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that Buck's storyline leading up to it is about him not being sure if people accept the changes in him and that he struggles with knowing who he actually is vs. who he thinks people want/expect him to be, and then he's faced with a woman who literally wants him to be someone else because she thinks he'd be good at it. and he says no and plays along just to escape and tries to talk her out of it...up until he hears Eddie, and then he's willing to put aside all that growth to save him. He'll do it, he's ready to be Derek.

the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that you have Eddie who has struggled for seasons with people assuming the worst possible outcome about who he is. just in season 9 he had the lawyer touting that he's some violent, angry man and Abigail's father thinks he's taking advantage of her (fuck him, by the way), and the sheriff thinks he killed Buck. And then you have him trying to find out about Buck. He apologizes for taking Hector's clothes, he pays money for that shitty car. Until he's faced with what he thinks is a situation where Buck is in danger or already dead and then he's ready to embrace that false reputation he's been trying to disprove. He's ready to shoot, kill, fight to save him.

and finally, the thing that gets me about Mother's Boy every time is that in the end...neither one of them has to give up their individual journeys because the other has their back. Buck saves Eddie from embracing that false interpretation of him. Buck is the one who does any of the actual damage by using the cattle prod on Earl. Eddie was willing to shoot. He had the gun ready. But Buck stopped him from having to. And Eddie saves Buck from falling back into being what others want him to be. He screams "Buck", Buck's preferred name, loudly and repeatedly. Buck was willing to "be Derek" but Eddie made sure he didn't have to be. Eddie stopped him from having to.
