IMDb where anyone, anywhere can make fake accounts and countries with anti gay laws and homophobia’s can vote 1? Yeah I won’t be looking at that ad the true rating for episode 7

See this and thought I’d post it here.

Five minutes of a gay character's coming-out scene just broke the internet - because of course it did. For YEARS, Stranger Things gave us straight romance - Mike and Eleven, Nancy's love triangle, Steve's dating drama, Dustin and Suzie, Lucas and Max. Hours of heterosexual flirting, secret girlfriends, and teenage angst.

Nobody called that an "agenda." Nobody review-bombed those episodes. When Mike spent entire episodes obsessing over Eleven, that was just storytelling. When Lucas risked everything for Max, that was beautiful.

But Will Byers - queer-coded since his father called him slurs in Season 1 - gets ONE five-minute scene to come out? Suddenly it's "woke propaganda" ruining the show. Episode 7 is now the lowest-rated in Stranger Things history, drowning in coordinated 1-star reviews.

Not because of bad writing or acting, but because a gay kid said "I don't like girls" and got hugged by his friends.

Straight "moments" are everywhere, all the time, in every damn show. But give us five minutes - in a series finale, in a scene that's crucial to the plot - and the angry mob shows up screaming about agendas.

If Will's coming out is too much for you after watching seasons of straight romance without complaint, maybe the problem isn't Netflix. Maybe the problem is you.

The MSM are onto the whole BYLER thing too now

However, some viewers believe harsh reviews for 'The Bridge' are largely due to a section of the fanbase being disappointed about Will and Mike's (Finn Wolfhard) storyline.

It's been clear throughout the show that Will is gay and had crush on his best friend Mike. This birthed a new ship in the fanbase called 'Byler', which viewers anticipated would become a reality in the latest season.

But that doesn't seem plausible after Will's coming out scene, where he hinted at his feelings but Mike didn't reciprocate.

Only seems to have rattled people like you, who feel that episode has ruined the show, and keep banging on about it in nearly every post.

The rest of us are still enjoying the show and looking forward to the finale.
