i’m so sorry will byers. i’m so sorry you were tortured since you were 12. i’m so sorry you were assaulted then written to sympathize with your rapist. i’m so sorry your feelings were used to fix a straight relationship, time after time. i’m so sorry they only used you in vol3 to comfort Mike. i’m so sorry you were forced to come out by your rapist to people you didn’t even know. i’m so sorry for how much pain you’ve been through. i’m so sorry they robbed of you of your happy ending to satisfy homophobic audiences. i’m so sorry they gave you a line-less boyfriend in the epilogue when you deserved Mike. i’m so sorry you had your childhood ripped out from under you. i’m so sorry you grew up with an abusive father which is barely addressed. i’m so sorry your pain was just used to further the narrative through every season. i’m so sorry you were written by straight men. i’m so sorry they don’t care about you. i’m so sorry they handled your beautiful character with such dismissive carelessness. i’m so sorry.

“show for freaks and outcasts” and almost all the queer fans including myself have stated that they feel, embarrassed, stupid, humiliated, disappointed, mocked and etc.
