some of the posts about the duffers being bad writers are starting to sound like people just...not vibing with the plot and not about criticizing the writing😭 like just because something fucked up is happening doesn't mean it's fucked up that they wrote it

#i don't like it👎 ≠ it's bad❌ #like obviously personal taste would inform what you think of as good writing but you can't say people are lying about this being good #writing because i think it's bad #the something fucked up is about el dating mike after 12 years of lab and 1 year of hopper like believe me i don't like that for her but... #and it's not even like it's portrayed as her fairytale ending either if they were to end up together then i'd be like wow fucked up that #they thought this was...a good thing to have happen to her #even though it's not like you have to think something's good to have it happen to a character (that's like essentially what horror is) #but i do think the ending isn't supposed to be like sad and fucked up in this particular show so #it's like when people say they're racist for having billy be racist i can totally understand that it'd be hard to watch and that some of #the scenes in the show can be triggering (the piggyback) but it's not portraying racism that makes the writing racist it's like. what they #do with it or what they DON'T do with it. bc they don't do anything with it #idk. maybe i'm being a hypocrite because i've probably said that sidelining will in s3 is a strange strange writing choice and that's #personal taste technically but. #i've actually said that i hate it but that you can probably find great meta reasons for it which will sound like me worshiping them to some #but like. you can. even though i don't love the end result #and as i was saying the other day: #and i'm not someone who isn't aware of how good and not good stranger things is at all #like i really know i promise #and like i say: brf slt
