ok i feel like i need to make some sort of post about this because if i don’t i’m going to start eating my walls

billy hargrove is a racist

no matter what way you try to spin it, defend it, or tell his story, he’s a blatant racist. and the reason i know this is because i’m black and i watched the show. and frankly, i’m tired of seeing posts about how hot he is and how misunderstood he was when he sacrificed himself and how he was just an angsty teenager who didn’t know how to express himself after he lost his mom

billy tormented max to the point where she was terrified to be in the same close vicinity to him. both dustin and lucas were pursuing max, but who was the one that got threatened? who was the one billy told max to stay away from? who was the one that was called “the type of person you shouldn’t associate yourself with”? the black boy. lucas sinclair.

lucas was a 13 year old boy. billy was 17 or 18. if dacre had let the original script go through, lucas would have been clearly hate crimed. he would have been called racial slurs by billy, he would have been putting his hands on him. but a part of me thinks that even if that happened, so many of y’all would still be all over billy’s dick

he didn’t make up for anything when he sacrificed himself to save the others and that’s the issue with characters like him. they do nothing but horrible things, sometimes unforgivable shit, but they die for the greater good and that makes up for everything? i don’t fucking think so…

this is why it’s so funny to me when people have been saying eddie is a knock-off billy because how exactly is he a knock-off? eddie doesn’t terrify his friends. eddie doesn’t target black people. eddie didn’t put a broken bottle to steve’s throat just because he could, but because he needed to defend himself. he didn’t attack steve for fucking fun

and so many non white people have been telling white people this from day one, that hargrove is a racist abuser. but you don’t listen to us because you don’t care about us. you don’t actually give a shit about us, do you? and those same people will scream about standing with black people and listen to their stories, but when push comes to shove as long as the racism is with a fictional character, well who gives a shit? the racism within the stranger things fandom is so telling because no matter how many posts black people make, no matter how many posts i make, there will be people in my reblogs and my comments calling me a billy anti because i continue to spread the information that he’s a racist bigot

i’m not just a billy anti im an anti racist
