Being A Multishipper In The Stranger Things Fandom Sucks.

Being a multishipper in the Stranger Things fandom sucks.

Stop fighting. I'm literally insulting and defending myself every argument. I feel like I'm a 30 year old mom trying to get her kids to stop throwing mac and cheese at eachother. It's not very hard to respect ships.

Look, I don't ship some ships! But do you see me going on other people's posts and commenting stupid stuff like,

"____'s not gay!!"

"what.."

"*insert other ship* solos,"

No. Because I use my brain, which I know may be a confusing concept for some people who decide to hate on ships, and realize that they don't care. I don't care. NOBODY cares. Me commenting a hate comment Isn't going to make them drop to their knees In tears and stop shipping that. It's just going to be a minor inconvenience that makes them feel a little upset.

Just because I don't ship something doesn't mean I have to avidly hate on it like my balls are going to be bitten off If I don't. And I know this has something to do with the blatant homophobia in this community.

"i(nsert character) Isn't Autistic/Neurodivergent!" Why do you care? Are you gonna say Autism was invented in the 2000s? Honestly, with some of the crap in the Stranger Things fandom going on right now, I wouldn't be surprised.

"(Insert character) Isn't gay/trans! It was the 80's!" Again, why does this character not being straight have such a negative effect on you? Why do you care?

"They didn't even interact," Sure, but Stancy interacted for five seconds and the rest of the time they interacted it was almost always toxic, yet people are still shipping them? Why? Probably because they're straight. ( No hate to Stancy shippers!! )

Acknowledging a ships flaws and being a hateful asshole for no reason are two whole different things. And I think this fandom needs to learn how to be decent human beings again.

I've been in this fandom since 2016. I grew up with this show. And old fans? You guys need to get your shit together. The new fandom isn't ruining anything by having fun and making queer rep. If you're gonna be mad about that, fine, but just remember that you're the reason the Stranger Things fandom is ruined. You have made this fandom feel toxic and unwelcoming.

The Stranger Things fandom pee their pants anytime queer rep is mentioned. And people that do ship queer ships go out of their way to hate on the original ships. I don't get it, it's all so unnecessary. You're not proving anything by being an asshole. Anyways, this is just a minor rant! I still love stranger things fans I promise some of you just make me want to explode sometimes.

"Jargyle and Ronance won't happen bro Nancy and Johanthan are literally dati-" GUYS DO YOU HEAR SMTH? BC I DON'T.

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE FACT WILL AND LUCAS HAVE A SPECIAL HUG? Like they lean in, Will does a tappity-tap, and then they hug. THEY ARE SO CUTe? They're the best duo fight me.

When you think abt ur comfort ship a lil too hard and start twitching and seizing.
