When ever you feel Byler doubt, think about this.

If it’s delusional to analyze a show to find a deeper meaning then the Duffers might as well be delusional too.

THESE MOTHER DUCKERS HAVE A WHOLE BORED DEDICATED TO FILM ANALYZATION WE’VE SEEN IT

Not only that but they also indirectly told us to analyze things in the show!

“Those people… They aren’t wired like me and you, okay? They don’t spend their lives trying to get a look at what’s behind the curtain”

“They like the curtain, it makes them feel safe and stabilized”

El: "What is... gay?" (Byler talk)

This show establishes that El grew up in a lab and doesn't know basic things:

Pretty much all she knows about romance is what she's been exposed to on TV:

She naturally assumes that, if Will likes someone, it's a girl:

The fact that Will and Mike might be gay isn't even on El's radar.

Remember that this is the 1980s. Robin hasn't come out to the party; Robin had to explain to Nancy that she and Steve weren't dating, and even then she DIDN'T come out to Nancy.

I saw a poll here recently asking, if Byler is real, does El know? Can she sense the tension between them? Or is she completely oblivious?

I think El already KIND OF knows, in the same way she knew something was off in how Mike couldn't say he loved her. But she understandably thinks Will is straight (see above) and that Mike is straight (because they're canonically dating... hell many of us once thought that, too!). Also, she has always been too quick to conclude that the problem in their relationship is herself.

If Byler happens, I think El putting the pieces together would be (1) completely in character and (2) the most effective way to lessen backlash against Byler.

Once she becomes aware that loving people of your own sex and gender is a thing, the mental floodgates will open. El, as someone who knows Mike and Will well, will probably (together with Jonathan and Robin) be the first to put two and two together.

It might even be a RELIEF for El when she realizes that Mike doesn't love her romantically, not because there's something wrong with her, but because he's gay and/or has an incomparable love for his childhood friend Will. It would be part of her process of self-growth. She will learn that she can trust her instincts. And she will KNOW that she was RIGHT that something was MISSING between her and Mike, and there's something RIGHT about Mike pairing with Will.

She'll learn about the PAINTING LIE. She'll see that Will sacrificed his own happiness for Mike and El. She would have ZERO resentment toward Will and want to do whatever she could IN RETURN. She's finding friendship, family, and love in all her relationships. The anti-Bylers who think Will would "steal" Mike from El and so she'd hate him, not only think too little of Will, but also underestimate EL.

El, as someone who ALWAYS has been goodhearted and had a strong moral compass, and who from her own experience supports the marginalized and abused, could be the #1 Byler among the characters in the show.

dustin earnestly giving advice when mike asks how to do long distance, and then noticing he doesn't look comforted by any of it because his advice essentially boils down to communicate with her.

dustin noticing mike and el don't have anything to talk about and that when el speaks on the phone, mike doesn't say anything to her.

dustin under the assumption they were bonding over their long distance girlfriend problems, but mike starts bringing up will and so he gets confused.

dustin trying to talk to will and answer a question, but mike will not let go of the phone and grips it super tightly. even though it's on speakerphone so he doesn't actually technically have to.

“you don’t look like a byler shipper though”

how they expect me to look:

[twoxxghosts]

“It would be great for Will to declare his love for Mike and not have it returned because that would be realistic and represent what it’s like to be gay growing up in the 80s"

WE ALREADY HAD THAT SHUT TF UP
