dude, it is literally so hard to find good wlw ships & this show is serving them to us on a silver platter
You all love the LGBTQIA + ships in the stranger things fandom until it comes to a sapphic ship like ronance and elmax, just admit you like to fetishes guy x guy relationship (stedddie especially).
You say two men liking one another is realistic in this show and can happen, but two women liking one another or being shipped together is suddenly weird and you just don't understand.
I enjoy steddie and I love ronance, I am not talking about every shipper, but I'm seeing a problem within the community with the treatment of the sapphic ships and even Robin Buckley, the lesbian character who represents a lot of those in the community.
Tell me your a pick me without admitting you are, I'm embarrassed of this fandom sometimes.

Hi there, as a Jew (who LOVES Les Mis) I thought I should add in to this discussion. Regarding the statement that Grantaire being Jewish is harmful, in all honestly you’re over thinking it, trust me. Most of the time whenever I see things relating to Grantaire being ugly it is usually him calling himself that, which for me (& a lot others) is a common way of looking at myself. Because of Conventional European Standards of Beauty Jews are not seen as conventionally attractive, which shows its effects in me whenever I look in the mirror. I end up suffering from derealization & all I can see is everything I am told not to be. Also Grantaire’s numbness to social justice is another thing a lot of Jews suffer from, due to the fact that no matter which side of the political spectrum you go on either way people still hate us. On the far right its just n@z!s & on the far left its just a bunch of people blaming us for the Israeli & Palestinian conflict. Not to mention the fact that there has literally been almost no progress made in ending anti-Semitism it just ends up going back to how it was after a few years. A lot of us don’t really feel safe on either side because both of the radicals hate us. However even though we haven’t been getting much (sometimes if any) help with our fight for equality we are still going to help others. A lot of Grantaire’s struggles do reflect a lot of struggles a good amount of Jews have to go through has well. For me the hc of Grantaire being Jewish is very important to me. Considering the best representation we have (that I can think of off the top of my head) is Puckerman from Glee, oh god plz let us have Grantaire lol. Also regarding the nose thing, the more we normalize different noses the less likely a lot of Jews are to feel insecure about, but the making his nose cartoonishly abnormal is a lil problematic. However I do think we should normalize “uglier” traits outside of race/ethnic stereotypes, I just don't think it should start with Grantaire.
Jewish Grantaire really gets me. I say we should have ugly Grantaire!!! I'm an ugly person! I don't think that's a bad word, it's of my personal opinion we shod destigmatize it, not attach morals to it, but that's my own rant. BUT. Having the ugly canon character be fat and Jewish? Why are you thinking of those traits as ugly?
GOD anon i have,,,,,, so many thinks and thots about “ugliness”??? I’m torn between LET CHARACTERS BE UGLY and THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS UGLY, ONLY NOT MEETING CONVENTIONAL STANDARDS OF EUROPEAN BEAUTY!! (Also, pop OFF abt that ugliness =/= morals rant, if you ever flesh it out send it MY WAY)
But until we can de-colonize the beauty industry, YEAH. UGLY RIGHTS. I’m ugly! It be like that! It’s not a bad thing! But It’s when we do things like equate ugliness to racial/ethnic/cultural stereotypes (for example, by equating characters described as ugly as Black, or Jewish, or any marginalized race/ethnicity) is when shit gets real harmful. Like you said, anon, “Why are you thinking of those traits as ugly?”
(Also, WOW, I have not taken the time to fully consider the harmful stereotypes of Jewish Grantaire. R’s thing with his nose, Fat R - not inherently ugly things in the slightest! great things to represent! But we have to ask ourselves why we don’t represent those things outside of the races/ethnicities they’re stereotypically linked with. )
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried
honey, that is not what i would’ve been worried about
Every day my English teacher makes one person read an excerpt from a book of their choice. I was one of the first people to go and I read from red, white and royal blue. I had the guts to bring the book in person instead of reading the quote from my phone (like a normal person) and my teacher FREAKING RECOGNIZES THE BOOK COVER. So then of course I’m screaming on the inside because I was hoping no one would realize what I was reading from. When I finished she said she knew of several students who were reading the book and now I don’t know how to feel.
Tl;dr: took a gay book to school and my English teacher recognized it.
