There was definitely some of the women smart, men dumb stuff in there, but it was hardly some heavy handed shit. And bashing on Hopper and Steve is wtf.

The reporters seemed over the top to me, hard to believe anyone could be that oblivious. But I've worked with loudmouth assholes like that so it's easier to understand. Hopper and Steve kicked ass though, and Dustin rocked that fucking song.

Some of what I really liked about the first season was the extra bit of effort put in to some of what looked to be stock characters. The weird kid doesn't get the girl in the end and was acting weird enough for the bully to have a point, the bully himself has a full character arc etc.
The newspaper subplot didn't have that extra polish. It was just some stock characters in a stock B plot.

Man y'all don't have to convince me that you LIKE the show, my wife will like it too.

Okay first, fuck you...the show is about an alternate dimension ripping open and kids saving the day, suspension of disbelief is a thing.
Second, obey your fuckin rules as a show, this isn't a "ME" thing, red letter media talks about this all the time in the horror / thriller genre. The writers spent 2 seasons telling us that the US government is active and knows about crazy shit that happens in this small town and that for some reason crazy shit MAINLY happens IN THIS SPECIFIC SMALL TOWN.
They then spent 1 season telling us that the Russians built an underground bunker that pulled SO MUCH POWER from the surrounding areas as to cause a blackout of ALL major and minor grids...and yet the US military didn't even bother to show up til the last scene of the last episode.
I mean this is all forgivable if it happens in like...2 days total. It feels more like the show happens in a week or more of time. Still though, THAT premise is so shit tier to me.
I think my statement read as follows, they ARE heroes, but no one treats them as heroes. They literally were involved in saving their world 2 times but, as I think I said, people (their friends) SOMEHOW have forgotten all that shit and basically treat them like they were not involved in season 1-2 AT ALL.
Joyce basically treats Hopper as a fucking nuisance, eleven basically hates the shit out of him even though he's taking on HUGE responsibility raising this girl and keeping her from the government IN ADDITION TO SAVING HER LIFE 2 TIMES. Thank god we get that letter reading "Boo Hoo I wish I wasn't such an asshole to this guy that only wanted the best for me but had personal issues that I didn't want anything to do with" scene!
Steve, again, was so pitiable. Dude gets his ass brutally beat in season 2 by Billy but he STILL puts himself out there to help his friends and through this season he just never catches anything close to a break either emotionally or physically. As I said, his last scene is a scene where he FAILS TO LAND A VIDEO RENTAL STORE JOB...and his only "break" is the lesbian chick that has a pitty connection to him gets him a job.
No, I'm sorry these are not people, these are cartoon caricatures of people. Literally everyone in that show aside from Steve, Hopper and "effeminate boyfriend who I never remember the name of" are deeper in their creation. The males...not by much, disagree with me all you want on this, the males feel like cartoon characters from a feminist cartoon.
LoL
The instant I saw captain white hair crazy eyes, I knew they were all going to die, at least he was, that dude is so typecast for being the "Over the top bad / crazy guy" with his roles in Starship Troopers and "Contact".

See I'll break from the hate on this one, I think Nancy is a great "Detective" personality. I just feel like they are shit writers and they HAD to make that shit about sexism.
I mean her and her "gay as fuck but still maybe not gay because he's sleeping with Nancy" boyfriend could have been working at a shit tier store...maybe....FOR HIS MOM?!?! Giving them TOOONS of downtime to ditch the store searching with Dustin and Steve for this Russian shit while the store slowly slides into debt. Steve could have been a movie theatre worker too and instead of being in the audience the kids could basically just scam Steve into letting them into the reel booth.
Naaah if they did that "Robin" would literally serve no purpose and they HAD to make Robin a thing.

Of course I do, I jerk off vigorously with the remaining outrage to feminist propaganda porn.

Almost tempted to search up some feminist propaganda porn but it would probably just be more stepmom porn.

You understand there is a REASON she got that rate right? You see her tits for like 80% of her porn career? she literally had a 9 year old do her boob job and she ended up with hexagon nipples. It was, quite possibly, one of the worst boob-jobs I have ever seen.
Mia's fucked up tits inside:
