DANCING BILLY

LOL

This is kind of a strange post about Billy, but I’m just gonna let it flow. I’m gonna start with this, I am a Billy Hargrove fan. I am a black, queer, female abuse survivor and I make no apologies about loving this character. Also, none of what I just said matters, I just think it’s important to note that we are out here. Even if I wasn’t those things I would still have the liberty and hopefuly the empathy to feel for his character. Today I want to talk about how Billy was written, why I think that’s dead wrong and damaging to those of us who survive abuse without a halo, and I am going to use another beloved fictional victim to do it. He also happens to be one of the world’s most iconic and well known villains. Yes I am going to talk about Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, and how his story is real. How it happened to me and it’s happening to someone else right now, and how I see evidence of the same societal failure shown in the films playing out in real time every damn day in the Stranger Things Fandom when it comes to Billy Hargrove. So here we go.

The Billyvers are a 18+ discord server for everyone who is a friend of Billy Hargrove. It doesn't matter if or with whom you ship him - all Billy fans are welcome, as long as they know how to behave in fandom spaces.

We're pro-'ship and let ship' and anti-harassment.

Then, in the summer of ‘86, they hopped in Billy’s Camaro and drove to the golden state, straight to the coast; blasting Iron Maiden, Metallica, and every other heavy metal cassette they could jam in there on the trip down. When they finally got to the beach, Billy got right to teaching Eddie how to swim in the ocean—and even how to surf.
