It is all about control. Gubment and media want to tell us what to think, how to think and what is important. F gubment and F media. Shows need to be good stories, not fundamental control agendas🙂 its more the fact that if there isnt a gay character, some small group is going to go up in arms about it and the media is going to eat it up for clicks/views. thats why every show is trying to shoe horn it in, to shut up the loud minority
July 19, 20223 yr In this case, it's actually potential for a compelling sub-plot. A small Indiana town back in a time when it wasn't as safe or common to come out, a guy dealing with feelings for a straight friend and what to do with that. But is that necessary in a show about monsters and an upside down world? With all the other side plots happening and crammed in there it just felt out of place. They already had a lesbian character with the same struggle. The writing was kind of all over the place, several unnecessary things brought in, then not actually seen through to resolution. So it does feel they wanted to just throw another LGBT character in there. It would have been much more interesting and made more sense for his character, to have Will with some type of connection/dreams/something to the upside down world since he spent much time there before.

July 19, 20223 yr I hope that next season they reveal that Will’s been on puberty blockers, and that he’s able to, at least, begin transitioning.

Well apparently he's not gay enough. Some are complaining about "queerbaiting" where they hint a character is gay but they don't do anything with it romantically. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/stranger-things-noah-schnapp-will-gay-queer-baiting

July 21, 20223 yr Agree with rest that just paying lip service is stupid and better to just ignore. Not every sci fi horror show has to address teen sexuality.
July 21, 20223 yr I just swatted a fly and its nowhere to be found. My question is, did I unknowingly banish it to the upside down and will we have to deal with this later together as a band of message board misfits?
