watching lots of the GA get in on conformitygate is actually making me feel bitter because (even though I don’t believe conformity gate, but not putting down anyone who does) it’s almost like the theories we have been making have made sense this entire time and have utilised evidence from the show, but because they concerned byler, a gay ship, we were delusional. Now that they don’t like the show, this specific one isn’t?

Almost like it was never our delusion but their homophobia!!!

finally got round to replying to everything since the finale, as I’ve just been lurking in tumblr a bit since it happened instead of being active.

I just wanted to say that all the messages and comments I’ve received about my videos have made this whole situation 1000x better. Hearing about how you guys enjoyed my videos makes me so so happy and I just love being a part of this byler community. It’s my favourite fandom experience ever, and the care everyone has for each other is the best. So a massive massive thank you!

I also hope if you have watched my videos that you are keeping yourselves safe from the comments, because I’ve only seen one or two and they’re worse than before!

no question, just wanted to say how much joy your videos have brought me and your "the queercoding of mike wheeler" video was what got me into the fandom, and I will always be thankful for what this fandom has given me <3 hope you are holding up okay after the finale :]

Avatar

you are so sweet thank you so so much!! The community this ship has created will always be so valuable and I just love it. I honestly feel like we’re bonded for life having to go through that queerbait. I’m better after these few days and just excited to continue sharing my thoughts about stranger things and my other favourite media!

(also for what it’s worth I always smile whenever I get a notif from you on here so it’s a two way streak)

sorry that this is what we got. i just don’t get why they didn’t end byler in S4 and give will a vickie in s5. they dragged it out to the very end and that’s was so clearly on purpose. also they watered down wills character to just “gay” and it pmo so bad. his ending is *meets cute guy in bar* instead of *pursues his love of art* and that’s so annoying

Avatar

this is one of the points that annoys me the most, because why was Will’s personality boiled down to being gay. He should have found love AND pursued what he is good at and loves doing. Him being at a bar seemed so out of character for him.

I already had this thought post vol 2 but i was still holding onto some hope so i didnt say anything but the first thing i think about when a mans writing suddenly goes from good to shit is to look at the women in his life. As in i checked and one of the duffest got divorced in 2024. And his ex wife was also a film director. Now idk any of Leigh Janiaks work so idk how good they are and im not saying she fixed the duffers work for them but also this is a standing pattern with male writers across mediums.

I would not be surprised at all, especially considering she worked on the fear street trilogy which centres a sapphic couple and is actually good queer rep from what I’ve heard!

thelostpassenger asked:

Hello! I have been watching your video essays on YouTube for a while now and love your energy and your intellect. How are you feeling? I am feeling truly heartbroken and angry and not okay and just wanted to talk about it with another fan. I cannot believe that they have been this cruel, that this happened in 2025. It truly feels like something happened after ST5 Vol. 1 and the original direction was abandoned. How could they have written all of this subtext even in their scripts only to have it amount to nothing? What happened?! I am so upset and feel so betrayed.

Avatar

thank you so much! Obviously it’s been a few days so the emotions aren’t as intense now, but I am still so so angry at how the Duffers treated their queer audience.

We were fine to string along to keep the fandom alive and buy merch, yet any queer rep just felt wasted. It’s realistic for someone’s crush not to like them so that storyline HAD to be given to the gay character? And high school relationships don’t last so Robin and Vickie were implied to break up, yet Mike and El have this love for the ages?? Such bullshit.

I just can’t believe that this level of queerbait can actually happen now, because we weren’t seeing things. So many people converted to bylers after volume 1, it was literally all there and why add the snowball to avalanche scene for no reason?

We have every right to feel betrayed.

how did you feel about mike's "friends? no thanks... *best* friends" line? i thought it was needlessly cruel tbh... it felt very purposeful in how it teased the audience one last time

the post-finale insanity is really hitting atm T_T

Avatar

it was 100% used so they could have that final bit of queerbaiting. No one thought at that point he was just not going to want to be friends and it just felt like such an insult to a large group of fans that kept the fandom alive for so long

bylerbraainrot asked:

Okay, so someone told me people are criticizing Will for coming out “out of nowhere.” But in Season 3, Dustin and Suzie literally stop singing NeverEnding Story while everyone is about to die. Like—actually die. And that was fine. So yeah. I was like… damn. Okay. I’m sorry. Bye.

Avatar

it’s so stupid because no one complained about never ending story people just liked it, and that was actually out of nowhere and did nothing to progress the characters development

will stages an intervention!

(don't you love how, due to the duffers' not committing to their own ending, absolutely nothing prevents this from 100% happening)
