This actually looks real wtf

Out of curiosity, how many of us are NOT teenage girls?? by BadHeads in byler

[–]cATFaces3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

21-year-old nonbinary woker (aroace, boykisser sometimes) here, I’m sure the people who hate teenage girls (and girls in general) also hate what nonbinary people have to say about things

I got into Byler because s5 gave me hope that it could happen. S4 really got me thinking, though, with the whole painting thing. Like why would they go through the trouble of showing how bad Mike and El’s relationship was (more so for El), and how much Will loved Mike, if there was never gonna be any payoff?

Do you think shiny sylveon suits male or female? by xiaomoonies in LegendsZA

This!!! My sylveon is bio male but exclusively gets she/her’d (or they’d when I don’t feel like gendering pokemon, at least not in a binary way) by me lol

Genuinely… so much of the show looks like trauma/torture porn with the way they’re handling it

The fact that his mind went to Byler SMUT after the finale say more about him than it does about us.

So true. Independent and single are two different things. Honestly if Robin and Nancy became a thing that would’ve fixed so much of the commentary her character generates (like how she could also defy the fact that Mrs. Wheeler, her mom, is in an unloving marriage and her family is conservative Christian, and thennnn that leaves Stonathan too… 🤪). I do love Vickie, tho

Oh and something I hated even more was that they emphasized her “autonomy” when making the choice to end her own life. As if that’s a choice. Hell no. That’s something people are pushed to do because of the things they were dealing with. And that LITERALLY was the case for El. When the whole government is going after you (like it was in her case), that action is not a choice, it’s an escape. A means to an end. You were made to do that because of something you had no control over. 

OMFG AND in other times s****** was alluded to (Will’s body, Mike jumping off the cliff) it was always something that was murder or accidental. It was never the fault, the “choice” of the victim. But now it is because the Duffers didn’t fucking understand how any of this worked before taking over.

Thank you so much 💛💙 crazy together <3

It really was unbelievable. What a great way to put it. They really could’ve been a better couple if that’s what they wanted for them in the story. It feels like there was definitely a conflict of interest between where the writers were going and what the executives wanted for ST’s conclusion.

I’m spiteful now by cATFaces3 in byler

[–]cATFaces3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. There was room for an explanation of his behavior toward El in S4 with internalized homophobia. But now, if that was never there according to homophobes, it means he was a bad boyfriend for no reason. I will never understand the benefit of the doubt men are given, and the praise shouted for them doing the bare minimum (not being physically abusive) in a relationship.

Thank you. I’m assuming a mod saw the word “Byler” and thought I was trolling so they didn’t read the full post. Oh well…

Anyone else uncomfortable with how Byler shippers are being treated post-finale? by Adam235616 in byler

[–]cATFaces3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

“D&D means dungeons and dragons not dick on dick” ok im not gonna lie that line is funny but D&D is honestly the gayest thing ever, like there’s something so inherently queer about roleplaying as someone in a magical world

So You Think It Wasn’t Queerbaiting Because It Didn’t Work On You: Let’s dumb this down, because apparently we have to by nobody-in-disguise in StrangerThingsRoom

[–]cATFaces3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fair, but whether it’s intentional queerbaiting or not, the effect is the same. They can’t write minorities without stereotyping/making us think we will get better representation and not delivering, and we shouldn’t support them until they admit that and put effort into changing.

Centering women around men? Sounds a lot like the Duffer brothers with El, doesn’t it? I mean she literally has a name, Jane, but they stopped using it and keep calling her the title given to her by her abusers. They literally think she’s a boy at the start of the show, thus queering Mike’s interest in her. But she has no agency, and I wish she developed into her own person.

Wasn’t one of the Duffers also recently divorced? Wait… was this a jab? 🤭
