My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

thank you for asking so much i am so annoying about this topic cuz i love them both so much. ok ok ok i can't like, perfectly 1/1 them but these are the dynamics that they trend towards in my head so i present:

bad kids as the loser club

this is so not the obvious answer but riz is very bill coded in my head in the way of doing what is necessary and being the most adamant about stopping the BBEG(i also see the seven as the kids going missing and pennys disappearance drives him in the show already and would only grow worse if they knew that kids were dying). he also clearly has similarities to ben/mike (depending on movie/book) when it comes to the research aspects

fabian is hard because he isn't as loser coded as the rest of them but he kinda woks in the form of movie ben and mike as like, new kid or outsider coming into a small town. he also fits the same niche as stan does in my head in being a lot of talk and tease but still being more fearful and wary than the rest of the group even if he doesnt want to show it

kristen is richie. i will live and die on this hill. foot in mouth, gay idiot, kristen is richie. i wish i could talk about it more but i am like, too passionate about this to articulate this properly. blorbo y blorbo

fig is bev coded in the form of being seen as a town pariah type, probs being very ostracized through the shit that happens with her parents, and just like, rumors move fast in a small town and gossip move faster so i could easily see her being mislabeled as slut and fully just running with the outcast thing.

gorgug is very mike coded to me, big heart, easily targeted, though he also really reminds me of book ben, with all his construction being translated easily into artificing, especially in the fact that book ben is described as lonely but so used to it he doesn't even think to be bothered by it and idk thats very gorgug to me.

adaine kinda sits between the corners of eddie and stan for me, very scared but still cutting, able to do what she needs to and be an asshole about it all the while but still at the same time just so so afraid. also she is bev coded cuz she kills her father so theres that.

Secret alien El x conspiracy theorist Mike

Saying that Mike never actually loved El is saying that the most meaningful relationship in a lifelong abuse victim's life was a lie.

Saying that Mike only loved El's powers is fucked. It perpetuates the idea that an abuse victim is unlovable.

Saying that Mike was attracted to El when he first met her because her short hair made him think she was a boy is wildly misogynistic and sounds like what predatory straight men tell WLW.

Lets see...
