things about nancy wheeler which certain people conveniently forget
she went out of her way to be nice to jonathan after will disappeared when steve and the others were being nasty
she acted as bait for a paranormal creature she knew would kill her if given the chance
she mourned her best friend for at least a year after her death, and went out of her way to be a source of comfort to barb's parents
she successfully exposed the us government for knowingly causing the deaths of innocents and trying to cover it up
she personally saved will from the shard of the mind flayer inside him
all of this happened to her when she was 16/17
was she a saint? of course not, perfect characters are bad writing. but to everyone saying that she's a demon and a bigot and whatever... are you seriously trying to say you didn't do stupid shit when you were a teenager?
s3 excluded, stranger things has had some of the most realistic writing of teenagers I've ever seen. they're naive and they're selfish, and oblivious at times, with no thought to the consequences of their actions. this is true of every single one of them.
but with one exception, they ultimately mean well, and are doing their best in a world which hardly views them as people, let alone the adults they will eventually become - just like real teenagers.
climb down from that high horse and grow up.
