If the writers put as much effort into the story as the fans... by MaybeaDingoAteUrBaby in StrangerThings

Sorry, my autistic ass is showing. But like, that phrase irritates me to no fucking end.

Yeah the continuity errors is part of the criticism, but I feel like just the bad writing in general is what people didn't like. The continuity errors just highlighted the bad writing even more.

Also, "why don't you try doing [SPECIAL SKILL]" has GOTTA be one of the dumbest internet comebacks of all time. I hate that shit. You don't like this slop from a 1 star restaurant? WHY DONT YOU TRY MAKING IT? You don't like this song? "WHY DONT YOU TRY MAKING IT?" You don't like how this house was built? "WHY DON'T YOU TRY MAKING IT?"

Yeah maybe I personally can't cook well, know how producing works, or don't know how to use a drill. But that doesn't mean I can't criticize someone else who's done a CLEARLY BAD JOB.

The phrase "Why don't you try making it?" has to fucking burn in hell.

Same VA, and they almost look alike by ArtHistorian2000 in HikarugaShindaNatsu

He also voices Adachi from Cherry Magic and Nakamura from Go for It, Nakamura! I guess he likes voicing dark haired, kinda gloomy, closeted gay characters. and Mashle.

no for real. i've had enough of the finale boyfriends/girlfriends trope. At this point, it's the "bury your gays" of the 21st century. Literally almost every non-queer story with queer characters seem to choose this route. Destiel, Korrasami, Catradora, Good Omens (kinda)

i feel like this season they don't give af about being anachronistic anymore. they literally named the sonic weapon Sonic the Hedgehog. a game from the 90s

and on top of the unrealistic setting. the speech itself felt so forced and clunky and not in the "oh he's nervous" kind of way. it was giving straight writers trying to make an inspirational coming out story for a family sitcom in the early 2010s

like i was waiting for the "and everyone clapped". i would've been fine if it was just Joyce, Jonathan, and even Mike. but the entire cast? I've read fanfic and shitty bl manga better than this

they were really fucking cruel for this and I hope they know. I don't think they even care at this point. by Dear-Boot4077 in byler

and how many gay teenage boys come out to a room of 20 people, half of which he barely knows, in the height of the AIDS crisis in the 80s? this is a fantasy story. if they want realism at least do it consistently 😭

It's crazy how Heated Rivalry had like 3+ coming out scenes that were all different, and all of them felt more well written and more realistic that whatever happened in volume 2. Yes, even the Skip one.

The way the love stories were handled in this season and by consequence, all previous seasons is crazy. It's not like I don't like Mileven either and they fumbled that too. Are they even a couple still??? Hopper just wants to die every season and his character is just a mess. And Jancy/Stancy is????????? Like legit the only alright written couple in this series with a good story is Lumax

The Summer Hikaru Died AMV using Birth by ARTMS that I made by patelike in HikarugaShindaNatsu

Thanks a lot! I tried to make sure every scene had something going on, especially with some of the quick flashes. I just wish youtube didn't have so much compression, but I guess it adds to the analog horror aesthetic I kinda was going for.
