#have not watched the new season yet but ive heard things
before stranger things 4 comes out, i just wanna let you all know that i do not give a flying fat fuck about billy and we should just let him stay dead.
nobody cares that the racist/abusive mediocre white boy is attractive to you, we don’t have to do the most to defend him.
sad backstory does not equal someone being a good person/worthy of praise.
anyway, stan lucas
For those arguing, it’s ok for people to have different opinions,,, but also yes, fuck that dude. I watched s2 yesterday w the fam (rewatching for s4) and besides the “ambiguous” microaggression against a main character of color, the way he treated Max was genuinely uncomfortable to watch and cannot be tolerated. It’s a hard no for me.
That is not to say I’m against problematic characters coz I’m not, it’s just Billy was a toxic asshole who I occasionally meet irl and didn’t do much besides turning me off and ig he’s pretty but all our main characters are w even more complex narratives so why settle for less lol
Also, Stan Lucas! Honestly, he’s so underappreciated. Once he accepted that his relationships evolved and expanded he’d been nothing but open and supportive! And once he realized that this may apply to other aspects of his life/world he didn’t hesitate to broaden his horizons and STILL remain the kind of person who would drop everything for his friends once trouble comes a-knockin.
