Are queer people stupid for being played like a fiddle by big companies
>>42252007a Literalwhofrom Literalwhereabout Literalwhat
>>42252016It's about stranger things, but it doesn't really matter
>>42252007They don't do it for queer people. They do it for cishet progressives to make them feel good about watching something "gay"
>>42252007>waaaaaah my gaybies didnt kiss in my comfort show so i have nothing to schlick my afab pxssy to
>>42252101They baited them though, I think that's just unethical
>>42252007there was no “bait” there was just two teenage boys talking and being good friends. also>caring about queerbaiting in 2025 when you can just go watch a million other shows that actually have gay couples
>>42252123How exactly? Mike was straight and into Eleven from the start.I would argue that there is definitely such a thing as queerbaiting but Stranger Things is just a case of plain fucking delusion.
>>42252156I really don't know, I never saw the show
>>42252175Then don't make claims about whether or not it's "ethical"
>>42252148No but you don't get it they HAVE to watch flavor of the month foidslop.
>>42252007Stranger things so ass
>>42252156I can see it, the show itself is gay.
>>42252007The strat described is simply an inevitability in a world where streaming companies want to sell to both gays and China.
>>42252101>mom found the yaoi, how am I supposed to fujo out!!!
>>42252007idgi, Will got a gay happy ending in the end.
>>42252021yeah it was just dumbass DEI woke bullcrap and then they stapled on a gay character at the end in the most boring ass stereotypical wayit's like boomers telling you how much they like the fact that you are gay at a thanksgiving dinner
>>42252007>NetflixY'all buying that fr?
>>42252021But there was nothing ambiguous about stranger things. robin came out directly as a lesbian when she showed up in stranger things 3.
>>42252007it's kind of a silly line of argument cos most of this stuff has been and will continue to be included for straight pplthinking that the annoying token gay character is for gay ppl is like the first level of thought, like barely started the thought process and thinking it thru, and there are many more levels that lead to the correct analysis after a few more minutes
>>42253779No queerbaiting is to bait the gay or gay supporting audience only
>>42252007>massive attacks on trans and gay rights going on across the globe>"we need to talk about queerbaiting, now is the time"literal plant
>>42252007at this point if you keep falling for corporate queer baiting it's your own damn fault
>>42252007so as it turns out, people are people. gay people, lesbian people, queer people, trans people, are all people. people are, on average, kinda stupid and easy to manipulate
