as if Steve/Nancy/Jonathan wasn’t annoying enough the shoe horned romance between the kids was even more irritating because it’s like a female character can’t exist without drawing attention to the fact that she’s an object of desire by someone. Like Mike/11 was okay in season 1 but then mike went full asshole to Max because HDU have more than one girl and then 11 had to be a jerk to her too. I don’t get how anyone finds this shit charming tbh.

I don't find it charming, but I do find it realistic. That dreaded word, I know.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-05 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I don’t mind realism but this was an aspect I could’ve gone without tbh. Because first you have the love triangle amongst the Nancy, then you have the hinted at love plot with the Joyce and two guys, then we have the two boys fighting over Max, and finally we have eleven who was mostly unattached but oh noes now she’s jealous of Max!!! When all your female characters are tied up into some poorly written love interest bs it’s reallllly tiring.

I'm not even watching the latest season yet but now I'm annoyed because of IRL stuff.

The "drama" that ensues in fiction when girls are added to a group of boys (of any age) is why you get bullshit like women in the military or collegiate clubs being discriminated against because it "ruins group cohesion."

nayrt but I think it's a useful distinction to draw and I'm glad you did it. I'm surprised by how often the opinion of "I don't like it" is met with "But but but it's realistic!" A lot of people don't seem to understand that there are different degrees of realism that people enjoy in their media, and just because something is realistic doesn't make it enjoyable for everyone.

I got the impression it was more about Mike thinking they were trying to replace Eleven. But also he's just kind of an angry dude who doesn't seem to like very many people. It probably is a little about her being a girl because of their age, but I think he would have been a jerk to anyone new they tried to bring into the group.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-05 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I got too, and even Eleven's jealousy to me didn't seem romantically instigated but more that Mike and the gang were her first friends and she felt like her spot was being taking?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-05 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
This was how I saw it too. He was clearly still missing her a lot and I think that bringing a new person into the group (especially because Max was also a girl) put him on the defensive in feeling that they were just trying to replace Eleven.
