#and they have the nerve to flag and report posts merely mentioning/speculating about byler

Reading reddit bro theories can actually be fun and educational if it's just speculation about the supernatural happenings and the lore surrounding everything going on, completely seperate from byler. Now I wouldn't say this about all of them or the posts on there, but a select few do get input in the comments from people that are smart.
And this is because a lot of them are nerds. Like they know about weird shit most people don't. I remember reading something a while back about the significance of shadows in the story and someone went into grave detail about how it made sense for the revelation of the UD and everything to be tied to the meaning behind this repetition of shadows being talked about throughout the series. And it's like, they're so close. The only problem is they completely ignore a big lens of how to look at the show, so it's not like you can take everything they say as gospel or anything.
But still, it does help to get a different perspective. What happens often with people with differing interpretations is that you'll both tend to miss/pick up on things that others don't! And so there are pros to getting some brainstorming about theories over there... but then there's also the con of homophobia so its like, I'd rather not.
#byler#stranger things#reddit rambles#its so weird when ppl get borderline angry at the mere mention of will and mike on there#like i've seen probably 100s of post on there over the years with people coming on to say they found Erica annoying#and those posts stay up no problem#w people in the comments just spewing hate over a character...#and they have the nerve to flag and report posts merely mentioning/speculating about byler#bc there repeat posts...#like i know for a fact after being on there for a few years that byler used to be something that came up rarely in the past#now with wills sexuality being confirmed#they're seeing an influx in posts about will being gay#and the possibility of byler#but it's like maybe a couple dozen#NOTHING compared to repeat topics that circulate in that tag daily#and yet they're using this concept of too many byler posts being a valid reason for removing them...#when usually they only have like one post in their overall catalogue comparable to it...#bc 1 post about byler is too many#like they're soooo uncomfortable is hard to watch#and that's why i left there#bc on the rare occasion a will byers/byler post would come out#it would be annihilated with snappy assholes#and then of course they keep up posts that hype of milkvan and hate on any possibility of byler#like they'll start it with 'unpopular opinion'#only for everyone on reddit to agree with them minus like maybe 2 100 downvoted comments being considerate of the possiblity#and then be like oh nvm not an unpopular opinion i guess#THERES A REASON THE DUFFERS RESENT YALL#BC YOUR SO CLOSE MINDED#YOU ARE THE FAN SERVICE REMEMBER THAT
