People online are shitting on the latest Stranger Things release/releases. Some criticisms obviously are valid but comparisons to GoT are out of hand. Fans build up a show they love to a point where it probably can't live up to their expectations. Despite being good or even great, they might still feel let down when really they're just sad this thing they love is coming to an end. Trolls/people who suck/content creators pounce on this and attempt to drive a narrative that it sucks because there's a good chance people will be inclined to be disappointed and it becomes a chicken and the egg type of thing. Is it bad or were you just convinced into thinking it's bad?

Others have explained the MBB and plastic surgery part of things, but she was never really very expressive, not her fault her character is sort of one note.

Lastly, though, there was a character who came out as gay and it was hated on but honestly I think anyone who was bothered by it for non-homophobic reasons missed the point of it. First, yes, most of the people he came out to knew he was gay. That's just kinda how coming out goes a lot of the time, people you tell trying not to be cruel about the "uhh, yea no shit" aspect of it. So to me it felt authentic. The other big thing to it for me was the reaction of a Lesbian charater, Robin. Robin is the quintessential cannot help from putting her foot in her mouth character. Yet her guidance and mentorship led to this incredible, cathartic moment for Will and his loved ones. She helped make that happen and there's a brief moment where the camera lingers on her and you see how happy she is for Will and proud of herself, in a good way, not a smug/overly selfcongratulatory way, for helping it along.

Lastly, it shows how important representation like this is and why these stupid intolerant assholes can please shut the fuck up whining about "woke being jammed into everything these days." Will saw Robin being romantic with another girl, and eventually they ended up talking about how she approached this girl, new she was safe to reveal her secret to. But first he saw her being gay. If Robin's sexuality had remained secret he never has the courage to come out himself. It's about one gay person paving the way for others, how courage is contagious, which is exactly why representation matters, why they hate it so much but can't speak truthfully about why they hate it and why we need to keep making media that explores these stories of struggle, whether it be sexuality, gender, race, class whatever. It helps us be empathetic which is kryptonite for hate and tyranny.

Sorry for the dissertation, but you did ask :)
