I’m soooo fucking tired of people who have no idea about my life questioning the validity about my opinions on the plot of Stranger Things 4. The number of straight people in my life announcing this was the ✨ epitome ✨ of accurate queer rep in period piece television and defending the Duffers (despite this season being pretty flawed all-around) with their lives, and then telling me that the writers don't owe me anything to my face is beyond me. Acquantances that are publicly out under the poly/mspec/bi+ umbrella have held up their identity to me like some sort of VIP card to shut me down. They haven't bothered to take into consideration any of the vast, rich discourse going on amongst the queer community online. They don't know that I'm the only one amongst them who has ever been in a long-term same-sex relationship, and if this were that kind of pissing competition, then I would inadvertantly win. I'm not out to them (and I don't have the privilege to ever be publicly out) and I'm glad that I made that choice.
