Was it the right choice?
>>
>>217171675
Nothing wrong with it. They were good as bros. Far bigger problem is the writers seemed to forget how to write her character in the seasons that followed. This show had an irritating habit of someone genuinely charming their way into being a fan favourite and the reward being getting absolutely fuck all to work with
>>
>>217171675
What?
How?

>>217171675
No

Robin is a well written character and Steve ending up on his own is more true to his character

Spineless bootlicking slopsucking scum like you are the scum of the earth. Literally all sides despise people like you only as far as you're of use as a useful idiot. Get the fuck outta here.

aren't actors supposed to just stand on a mark, say a few lines and SHUT THE FUCK UP?

Considering they spent all of season 3 flirting and acting like they wanted to fuck, and they were the only pairing on the show with any real chemistry, it came across as an asspull. It felt deceptive. It seemed very much like what it was, a last minute decision based on something other than genuine character development.

This. They were perfect together, but in order to keep a captive audience, you must subvert expectations.
>>
>>217171947
Not when they're the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke and they're suggesting you make a character gay out of nowhere on a whim and if you say ANYTHING that isn't let's heckin do it yaas kween on the spot, she'll publicly flagellate you and call you buzzwords and make a big incident.

Steve dodge a bullet desu
And the actor dodge a bullet having to kiss THAT
>>
>>217171675
Steve gave off massive gay energy too.
>>
>>217172040
She will do as she's told if she wants roles, Ethan and Uma don't have that much star power to intervene.
>>
>>217171675
Two white people in my romantic relationship on a Neftlix show? I think not! Better show the redhead kissing the black guy constantly instead, because that happened all the time in the 1980s just like gay guys always came out and it was no big deal too.
>>
>>217171675
It made Steve more interesting in that it allowed the story to sidestep a too-obvious romance in a series that already had too many obvious romances. I'd say it made Robin more interesting too, but honestly season 4 and season 5 didn't do much with her beyond the conversation with Will.
>>
>>217172173
Nope, it's the other way around. She has more industrial carte blanche (as in, her ma and pa have sucked more jewish dicks than anyone on the production of ST) and if that wasn't enough, she can send the buzzword brigade on them if they dare to not comply with making her gay because she felt like it in the moment because the steve actor made her ick over something completely inconsequential.
>>
>>217171908
How’s that bootlicking? I even said they wrecked the character in the following seasons. The last season was dogshit by the way
>>

Shut the fuck up, you cumguzzling bootlicker.

end it all already. no one will miss you.
>>217172279
you defend an obvious bullshit retcon based on the nepo baby threatening to call them buzzwords and getting offended if they don't comply as some kind of wise and agreeable story decision because you're THAT much of an NPC idiot.

>>217171675
man, I don't even remember Season 3, except that I vaguely liked it. I will say Robin's coming-out scene is the best coming-out scene in the show by far. But why are there two?
>>
Women can't be gay only men can be gay, lesbians aren't real.
>>
>>217171675
I liked the scene where she confessed to Steve, it was really good television. Them both being high, sitting in the toilet booths, talking. It was a very niice scene.

But i'm not gonna lie, i kinda think the show is pretty crap so i don't personally care that much about it's characters. I see some sperg sperging out about it and it's pretty pathetic. The show is very mediocre with very few highs.
>>
>>217172418
You certainly talk like them thoughbeit.
>>
>>217171675
Fuck no. The show lacked a vital source of stakes and drama by not making them each other's love interest. Everyone would root for them and thus any situation where either could die would have significantly upped tension for the audience. Legitimately, making her a lesbian was the worst decision they could have made creatively.

Bro.
Everything about her screams she was "coochie snorcher'd" and hard groomed by the "sisterhood" into Hollywood feminist cult.

Look at her retarded statements, forcing them to change her character dyke, and the tell-tale sign of anorexia as a way to stay young+self harm.

The Hollywood lesbians harvested her and mean girl feminist clique destriyed her mind. We are seeing her crumble in real time and the fact that her parents haven't had an intervention yet speaks volumes.
>>
>>217172245
It would have been more interesting if she addressed the fact that they were flirting the whole season. Like acknowledging that she had some more than friendly feelings for Steve but didn't want to pursue something with a man.
>>
>>217171723
Thats why King Derek won the stranger thing. Because they couldnt fuck his character.

Nigga I wish I was gay, dealing with women is exhausting but gay guys give up bussy easily, I just find it too disgusting to even try.

The rumor I heard was that the Duffers promised Netflix they would have LGBT representation in the show's second season, and that the plan was to have Billy be a self-hating closet case - this was heavily hinted at through the first half of the season.

However, the actor who played Billy found out about it, and flipped out and threatened to quit over it. So Maya Hawke decided to volunteer instead, and the Duffers shrugged their shoulders and quickly rewrote the end of the season, which is why it came off as such a random thing with zero foreshadowing.
>>
>>217175797
Based Billy. It also made no sense for his character either, bro loved MILFs and that's extremely straight behavior.
>>
>>217172302
sorry to hear about your internet-induced culture war brainrot, but this has nothing to do with a tv show

Not even bothering with 5 and didn't finish 4, this series wasted a ton of time on pointless shit. Arguably everything after Season 1. Vecna was there from the start my ass. If he was the puppet of the mind flayer then why wasn't he in season 2

I've had sex with two lesbians, not at the same time. These experiences have led me to believe lesbianism is fake.

Tons of people immediately keyed in on Billy being written as gay during the second season. There were several super homoerotic scenes where he was checking out Steve in the shower, his father was calling him a faggot, and he was massively overcompensating.

The actor was interviewed about it and asked if Billy was gay, and he spazzed out and flatly denied it in a way that was way too telling. It was also confirmed later that the Duffers wrote him as more explicitly racist, but he refused to say the lines because he felt it would be detrimental to his career.

>>217176241
He made the right moves imo, the character didn't need any of that extra bullshit. Gotta wonder just how racist they wanted him to be if he was afraid it would damage his career.

Billy is the best character in the series.
>>
>>217175797
This makes no sense. Why would they hire someone without giving them the character concept of what they'd be playing? There would be no reason to hide that during casting.
>>
>>217176440
Womanizer for MILFs mostly though, even closeted gays don't go for older women. Antagonzing and dominating someone in a vulnerable state (i.e a communal shower) is also a pretty masculine thing.
>>
>>217175827
No it's fucking not. Sex is for reproduction. Old women cannot reproduce, it's the same fucking thing as being a faggot. You don't give a shit about biologic or social consequences you just want pure hedonism using holes like a hit of drugs.

I think they would make a great couple, but it's not that Robin isn't bad for being gay, I just think it would be nice if she and Steve were a couple.
>>
>>217171984
It felt like she was sperging out and making excuses to hide her feelings. It makes no fucking sense for a woman to continue the lesbo act when a decent guy shows interest.
Real lesbianism comes from being a runthrough whore or being raped by jewish producers.

Damn maybe they should've had Billy just write more of the series

Now that his career is over can he say it?
It's funny how Max is so fucked up because the guy looking out for her died.

If they aren't at least potentially pregnant when you're done, it's gay.

that would explain all these weird scenes of him harassing steve 4 no raisin. practically swordfighting in this shower scene, comical

>Hey do you want to be cast in the second season of the hottest TV show on earth as this new character Billy? This role is the opportunity of a lifetime. The only catch is that he's a closet case bully who says some racist stuff because his father's an asshole. We have a big redemption arc planned for him that explores his trauma, and it has a coming out story and everything. Are you cool with that?

>Of course, I'll do whatever you say. Thanks for the chance, I won't let you down.

A year later:

>Just so you know, even though we've already filmed half the season and it's impossible for you to fire me now without millions of dollars and tons of extra reshoots, I changed my mind. I've decided that I'm not going to play this role the way you wrote because it would damage with my imagined future career as a leading man, and I won't these racist lines. Call my agent if you have any questions.

>>217172245
It actually reduced his character back into pining over Nancy. I honestly believe if they went with Stobin Steve would've had Eddie's death..

Kino trope but it's kikeflix so of course it wouldn't happen.
