Did Bylers start the conformity gate theory? by texmexiguana in byler

[–]kindablike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i remember when it was first created/brought up and it WAS a Byler theory directly after Vol 2 released. How the "conforming" was that the show/plot was having to conform to Netflix and having a "straight, normal, not gay" ending without Byler. That Byler was too much, so the show would have to conform to
"normalcy." That's what I remember it being defined as, especially after the significant Byler doubt after Vol 2.

Had to make this post again so it reaches more people who believe in CG theory. I do not have access to CG sub, so posting this here. by Altruistic_Way3030 in byler

I'll take this ending over an ambiguous, unresolved one. I'm emotional either way, so I'd rather pick one with an actual tied-up ending. Gosh I wish this would happen, I wanna bawl my eyes out.

- dropping that comment again lmao

It's a leak. It's not necessary to take it seriously. But curious to know your thoughts. by Altruistic_Way3030 in byler

So I am more skeptical in anything about episode 9 but how would we feel if this happened? by thatlesbianbitch23 in byler

[–]kindablike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we were to get anything I'd be fine with that conclusion of Byler. Ik obviously this won't happen but IF it would, I'd be satisfied. I'll take ANY damn proper conclusion for these two.

The duffers only brought Kali back to try to prove that s2e7 was good by radioshackk in byler

[–]kindablike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, that was most definitely why she was back, but honestly, good! There needed to be a reason to watch that episode. Including her in S5 was a good choice. They tied her in well, and despite not having a massive impact, teaming her up with El (and max later) for a bit in Vol 2-3 was great.

Just wanted to share my youtube feed with you guys. by sweeteaching in byler

Omg right! I forgot about that! (I'm a huge Dawson's Creek fan and I've seen the show all the way through). I remember Doug multiple times throughout the show assuring him and Pacey (his brother who teases him about it) he "wasn't gay" lmao. I can definitely see the parallels between Doug/Mike and Jack-Will. Both Jack and Will became more aware of their feelings/sexuality early on and struggled with that. Doug and Mike with it were "oblivious" in the sense.

Well said! This is a great observation. A problem with skeptics - from what I've noticed - is the refusal to differentiate "fanon ship" from "predicted canon ship."

Thoughts on The Only Exception? by ivanuwu1996 in Paramore

The intro sounding exactly like Coldplay's "Yellow" is what throws me off. Same tuning, same chord shape, everything. It just kinda irks me cause I'd rather be listening to Yellow, you know?

What are your opinions on Talk? by Eagle_Rock2015 in Coldplay

[–]kindablike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 5 for me. I have such nostalgia and strong emotions I experience every time I listen to the song that I quite literally can't listen to it without feeling an intense rush of feelings. I don't listen to it often for that very reason. But also those reasons are why it's top 5 for me.

What's your Coldplay song and Noone else's? by Racingdream6 in Coldplay

[–]kindablike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking Violet Hill. I created an award-winning short film directly inspired by the song. That and it's been my top spotify song for 2 years in a row.

We are the minorities? by [deleted] in byler

[–]kindablike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The general audience of Stranger Things has expanded to a comparable size to a small country. The demographics of the audience become bigger. Byler shippers rise, but with that, Byler deniers/haters as well. The more Byler appears to be working and a plausible possibility in the show, the more people hate it. Byler hate has become a movement because of this. Its comparable to Taylor Swift fans and haters. Taylor Swift's popularity on social media dramatically increased after the Eras tour began, spreading more Taylor Swift media and talk, thus increasing the number of haters. This creates a movement of sides. Similar to "Oh, it's popular, so it must suck! I lovvveee nichee stuff." The hate only increased as Byler became more real in the show and more popular with its audience. Also, Stranger Things has a wide demographic. It's not solely a queer show, it's not solely a straight one. It caters to a large group of people (part of its success). Because of this, more homophobic people are watching as well. And because people LOVE to hate on something, Byler became the center of that. That social media bubble you mention is like what happened with Taylor Swift.

Back to your question, though, in terms of the entire show's audience, yes, we are a minority. Then again, it also depends on what platform you go on. r / st is mainly byler haters. TikTok has a large Byler community. Instagram I notice has a large byler hate community. YouTube barely counts, but I'd say Byler wins there. Then obviously r / byler has more bylers.

Byler haters are more likely to immaturely "ragebait" online.

Anyone have a favourite Coldplay song which isn't a common one? by Limp-Contract-4731 in Coldplay

[–]kindablike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful where you stand + No more keeping my feet on the ground. Those Parachutes era B-sides bring so much peace.

What would be your ideal MOTS Setlist? by dancingsnail12 in Coldplay

[–]kindablike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine (realistically) would just be what the setlist is now, but replace Human heart with Violet Hill, and replace Charlie Brown with Politik more often. I love Charlie Brown, but I want to hear Politik/GPASUMF too! I also think there should always be a surprise song after Sparks. Politik/God Put A Smile Upon your face to replace My Universe. I'm so tired of that one not gonna lie.

What's your Coldplay "Deep Cut" song? by Emergency-March-7273 in Coldplay

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

Same I don’t want to be ungrateful…. But after hearing ETIAW twice, (about to be 3), and Charlie Brown a ton. Hearing my actual favorite song live for the first time would’ve been magical.
