if one of the characters is queer then it isn’t queerbaiting.................................
#st4#st4 spoilers#st#st spoilers#im not even that into stranger things tbh#but im getting REAL annoyed about how people are talking about will in this season#acting like his representation is somehow marred just because mike doesnt like him back?? hello??#yeah they havent outright had will say hes gay but it seems pretty damn clear to me thats bc he doesnt WANT to say it to anyone??#and thats perfectly reasonable?????#i keep seeing comments talking about how the writers 'used' will as fodder to make mike and el seem stronger#and i just. what show have you been watching?? the scene where will shows mike the drawing is SUPPOSED to be heartbreaking#because the writers want us to SYMPATHIZE with him!!! if they were 'using' him as queerbait then it would have been written in#a way where his emotions werent acknowledged by the audience and his entire arc would be shoved aside#but theyve dont the OPPOSITE of that by having jonathan see and then comfort him#will's queerness is very much evident and being examined in the show and yeah it isnt always gonna be positive because thats how life is#AND just narratively mike and el's romance has been central to the show from the beginning and if you thought mike was suddenly#gonna drop el especially after that love argument at the beginning of the season then i ask again what show have you been watching??#because that makes NO NARRATIVE SENSE#mike and will's friendship has ALSO been central since the beginning and their friendship is what will is prioritizing now and i think that#makes sense. i also expect their friendship and will's feelings will be more addressed in the last season bc it definitely feels like it's#building up to something and that will will be a focus next season so it'll all come together imo#anyway lmao the season certainly wasnt perfect but overall i thought it was good fun and it got me emotional a few times#enjoyed it a lot more than s3 for sure#stranger things spoilers#stranger things#x
