I Never Expected Byler, Ronance Or Steddie To Happen. But For A Show That Handled Robin Being A Lesbian

i never expected byler, ronance or steddie to happen. but for a show that handled robin being a lesbian so well in s3 (although i do have some things to complain about that, i was satisfied with it because her coming out scene with steve was beautiful), i sure was fucking disappointed. the duffers are sick for thinking any of the shit in vol2 is good representation.

to tell us will was going to come out, which is a HUGE deal, and then leave his queerness simply as subtext. he never confesses, he never says “i am gay”. instead we get a heartfelt monologue about his feelings for mike that only serves for mileven development.

don’t get me wrong. i loved his scene with jonathan. but we don’t need implied representation. we need more characters who actually say they are lgbtq+ onscreen.

as for robin... to have her side-lined and with a romantic partner that is basically her clone is just disgusting for me. i wish i could have liked vickie because i love amybeth but i just don’t. like, her bf broke up with her and suddenly she likes robin? out of the blue? and we’re supposed to love that? no. fuck that.

it’s 2022. the duffers deserve to get a lot of shit for treating their queer characters like that. fuck them. there’s no excuse.

taking any college course on societal issues in the united states is just like: *realizes its bc of reagan* *traces the cause back to reagan* *discovers the original policy came out of the reagan administration* *finds factual inaccuracies ignored by the reagan administration that are then used to push policy* *finds statistics that show the severity of the aids crisis as well as the beginning of mass incarceration of poc were caused by reagan* *hates reagan*

Something that kind of upset me in the show a little was how the Townes guy was made to be the supposed love of Beth’s life when in the novel it’s Jolene???? Whenever Beth sees a woman that she thinks is beautiful she associates her with Jolene. Jolene the person who she says she feels most comfortable with, even more than her mother. I mean Beth even thinks about how she wants to tell her she loves her but they completely ignored that part of their relationship :(

- maybe it’s okay to be like the other girls
