what the hell were the duffers even trying to achieve with the queer representation in this show?? they actually thought it was good?? they upset people on every side. sure, they upset homophobes, which is awesome. but they also upset queer people. which is not awesome. and honestly, with the way they treated the queer characters and their stories in the last season, i kind of wish they never even had robin and will be gay at all. the writers didn’t actually care about the queer storylines, and that is made obvious by the fact that we don’t properly learn what happens between robin and vickie in the end, and wills painting was forgotten, etc. they only made the characters gay so that they could check off a box and say yep we had gay characters look at how diverse and inclusive this show is!! (majority of the characters are straight and white.)

isn’t it interesting how gaten and caleb were praising the queer representation in stranger things, then went on to participate in an snl sketch that made fun of it

why are people acting like you’re defending snl if you point out the fact that they have always made misogynistic and homophobic jokes?? if anything i think we SHOULD be calling them out for their 50+ years of offensive humor. right??

i wonder how sadie feels about that max joke on snl… cuz that joke was actually so nasty

i haven’t seen it, and obviously it’s wrong of them to make fun of wills coming out scene. but come on you guys, it’s snl. it’s unfortunately expected that they’d make homophobic jokes. have you never seen snl?? 😭

how do people still deny the queerbait after that damn “friends? no thanks” scene in the finale 😭 like bro that even had homophobes thinking mike was about to reciprocate, that’s how much of a bait it was

part of me is like damn i really wish i could find mileven cute, but the other part of me is like thank god im able to recognize how toxic and poorly written they are

i’m seeing way too many people worried that finn is gonna joke about byler on snl and its making me worry too. but i mean, would he actually stoop that low and feed into the homophobic people’s jokes? atp i don’t even know what to expect from this cast🫩

i hope the duffers never write anything again, but obviously that won’t happen. so what i REALLY hope is that they never write another queer character. ever. again.
