calling will a misogynist when mike refers to women as βa different speciesβ, refused to let max into the party because sheβs a girl, and emotionally abused el throughout their entire relationship, lucas agreed with mikeβs misogynistic microaggressions and only wanted max in the party because he had a crush on her, jonathan sexually harassed nancy and took photos of her having sex without her consent, steve publicly slutshamed nancy and attempted to violate her as well, and hopper refers to multiple female characters as bitches and was emotionally abusive towards joyce.
but willβs the biggest misogynist in the show because heβs gay and made a comment about girls not playing video games in the second season? make it make sense girl.
okay first of, Will Misogyny Byers is a joke. It's a nickname I made up to shit on Will while also mentioning his misogynistic tendencies that are generally undiscussed. It's a joke bringing it up bc it's not talked about a lot.
Second, I have never said none of the boys were ever not misogynistic. And if you look through my blog I make several mentions to how misogynistic Hopper and Jonathan are, and I have also mentioned slightly about how shitty Steve is. I also mentioned how misogynistic Murray is. Describing how abusive and mysoginictic Hopper is, was a big part of my blog. If you know me, you know I hate him for that reason. Also Mike did not emotionally abuse El, Hopper was more emotionally abusive than a 13 year old.
I never said any of the other boys weren't mysoginictic or that Will was a greater misogynist than characters like Hopper. The nickname comes from how little his misogynistic tendencies are talked about. I don't need to talk about how Hopper, Steve, Jonathan, Mike, and Lucas have made misogynistic remarks and actions. Their flaws are discussed greatly, their actions are discussed a lot and I see it a lot. You obviously do to as you have evidence. Will's tendencies to be misogynistic, which are not just his thoughts about Max but do apply to how he treats Joyce and El in seasons 4+5, are not talked about. My nickname comes from that. And it is not that serious. I am also not saying he's misogynistic because he's gay, I have never once talked shit about Will on the fact of him being gay.
The nickname is not serious, it's noticing how his actions are less talked about, I don't ignore how awful other characters are just noting what isn't talked about.
