#anyways Mike wheeler defense squad and Billy anti member 😌

[booksandpaperss]

POV those stranger things fans

Billy Hargrove: is a sexist and racist white man who abuses Max and bullies middle schoolers and is generally a massive asshole with absolutely zero redeeming qualities to the point where the writers only even bothered to give him screen-time to make ppl hate him and to give Max character development for when they killed him off. Also he literally was meant to be like Stranger Things’ Henry from IT.

Some fr ppl: awww poor Billy 🥺🥺 it’s only cuz he was abused 😢😢 he doesn’t deserve the hate 🥺🥺🥺 it’s not his fault he’s racist and tried to run over Mike Dustin and Lucas and made Max’s life 10x worse than it already was 😢🥺 he’s just my rlly attractive hot uwu mean white boy that’s all 😍🥰

Meanwhile Mike Wheeler: incredibly traumatized 14 year old kid who loves his friends so much but grew up with an emotionally absent father and a mom who tries her best but still defers to their father a lot and noticeably hates him, super adhd coded and probably also has bpd or autism, by season 4 he has virtually no support system whatsoever and a sister who’s just as emotionally distant as both his parents, not to mention he’s a repressed queer kid growing up with a conservative father in a town like Hawkins, Indiana and enough depression and abandonment issues for me to write a whole essay on-

Those same fr ppl: ugh he’s so lame. Such a lame character. He was good in s1 ig but then his character completely fell through, he’s badly written and he’s annoying and his trauma isn’t an excuse for him to be acting the way he is and he may as well just die next season cuz he’s so boring and useless 🙄🖐🏻

….y’all see the problem here right?
