you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves

the thing about het romances is most of them are sexist so even tho i’m meant to root for them ill spend half of it thinking he shouldn’t talk to her like that

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

Having an anxiety disorder is so awesome because what do you mean the event I’ve been looking forward to for months is now something I want to just get over with already

oh god i hate the coming out scene more with every second. i hate that he came out to his mom at the same time as his science teacher i hate that joyce didnt show any surprise or emotion during her son's full on fucking panic attack i hate that murray was there i hate that none of his friends reacted i hate hes my tammy three episodes after it was established hes been in love with mike since kindergarten i hate that that line outs robin to a bunch of adults she doesnt know right after she said she wanted to come out on her own terms i hate that nobody comments on it or has anything to say i hate that theyre all accepting and theres no complex emotions at all despite it being the 80s i hate the fuckass me toos and that mike is like fifth to go i hate how nothing of substance gets said by anyone other than the kid pouring his heart out to like twenty people i hate that everyone claps at the end and they all move on i hate mike wheeler's complete blank slate of an expression and el's complete lack of emotion for her BROTHER that she remembers sticking by her side in cali when everyone thought SHE was the weird freak i hate 'everyone should know this too' i hate that it was done out of fear and to get it out of the way instead of as any actual emotional resolution to the character arcs theyve been building up for years i hate that everyone sat there in silence and watched this kid almost throw up with tears as he talked i hate that he says 'i dont like girls' instead of 'i like boys' and how it focuses on the negative and something he lacks instead of a source of joy in his life i hate that that line calls back to his and mike's argument in season 3 but in a way that makes it seem like mike was in the right i hate that nobody had anything to say i hate that hopper was there as though he wasnt asking joyce whether her son was a fag in season one i hate the utter lack of complexity or emotions or character i hate it being framed as a confession of secrets that he was going to have to get out the way sooner or later i hate the message it sends to younger viewers about bending over backwards to get accepted for your queerness. about getting over decade old 'crushes' because you dont want to make it weird and telling every single person in your life at once because you 'owe it to them' even though you have no reason to trust half the people in the room with your bleeding heart and about making a point beforehand to remind them that youre exactly the same as they are so youre not a freak and they should really just forget about it as soon as possible because itll be easier to accept if youre just like them even though youre not, youre not the same, it's not just i like girls vs boys, it's the way your entire childhood has been shaped by fear and bullying and being ostracized for things you couldnt control and the constant terror of growing apart from your only friends who you feel safe around and watching everyone around you get girlfriends while you sit at home waiting for them to call but dont worry about that im just like you im not a freak im not a faggot im just like you. will byers take my hand ill lead you out of this stupid fucking show
