#sth!

this guy 👇 is a bratty bottom whose ass belongs to billy

and this guy 👇 is a weak in the knees for only steve top

Billy was 18 in season 3

That’s a three year age difference.

So explain to me why her actions of hitting a girl in the face with a skate (something that could have killed her or gave her brain damage) is excusable even celebrated in the ST fandom, yet Billy whose worst action was pushing Lucas up against a shelf is treated worst than Vecna.

Both El and Billy were victims of abuse. Difference being that El had a whole support system around her, she knew she was loved and she knew she was safe and at least at the time of the skating incident she had been away from her abusers for a some time. Billy was still very much dependent on his abuser and dealing with physical and emotional abuse on a daily basis. It made sense that he would be as angry and unstable as he was when he was just struggling to survive day to day with no one to help him.

So why does fandom excuse El’s actions as she was abused so it makes sense that she’d lash out in anger but doesn’t want to even attempt to understand Billy’s?

Why is one abuse victim seen as redeemable while the other who is only three years older seen as a waste of human life?

Billy and El could have been going to school together if they were born at the right time. You’re telling me that two high school kids both victims of abuse don’t both deserve compassion and understanding and deserve to be saved from that abuse and deserve to know a life with some happiness?

Sorry but you’ll never convince me that you hating on Billy and us is about what’s morally right or whatever. You just don’t like this character and you want to feel morally superior like you’re doing what looks like the right thing on the surface by hating the guy everyone says is racist. There is literally no deeper thought process here for most of you than that.

And here’s the thing I don’t believe Billy is racist especially because Dacre didn’t play him that way but even still even if he was/is a 17 year old who says something racist doesn’t fucking deserve to die. People deserve a chance to change and grow and be better than the horrible environments they were raised in.

The idea that Billy didn’t deserve love and happiness and a moment of time in his life when he wasn’t always scared of what he would say or do that would set Neil off, simply because he took his pain and anger out on the people around him is just severely messed up.

The fact that so many people in the ST fandom could watch Billy being tortured by the Mindflayer literally made to drink chemicals and hurt people against his will. Cry out to Max for help and then sacrifice himself to save everyone and still people laugh at his death and say he deserved worse.
