chris i appreciate the content you delivered in 2024, but this is just not it. what does he think that eleven goes and kills people as a fun hobby??

[keykey613]

people who think stranger things is not about weird kids, “freaks” in society, queers, outcasts and instead is about teen pregnancy marriage at 17, being borderline homophobic to your bff and using queer characters as a tool to fix het relationships need to be studied

[keykey613]

what i don't like about st being popular and not this little underground show is that now i gotta explain to everyone that yes i like it but in a much more profound, intellectual way than everyone else

[keykey613]

Let's normalize being more in crisis about Mike's character being ruined.

Sure, he's my second favorite, but that depends on what we already know (internalized homophobia/depression/identity crisis) because if he's just a straight guy, he's a total idiot...

The Noah Schnapp Situation Going Into S5

With Stranger Things Season 5 coming out this year, we are unfortunately going to see a revival of the debacle around Noah, even though by then it will be an almost 2 year old subject. So, I thought I would get ahead of that with some of my thoughts based on what I've seen these last few weeks and more broadly over the last 6 or more months I've been on this scene.

Spoiler Alert: This is going to be a long one. It'll probably be my new pinned post.

Why Still Talk About It?

Frankly? Because it's still going on. Keep in mind, Liam Payne died in October 2024 (just three months ago), right around Noah's birthday, and THIS is how Twitter responded to that.

And just in case anyone thinks I had to dig back a whole 3 months to find Noah-hate-content on Twitter, here was just random things I grabbed from the last week:

Which brings me to the next point.

Why Do You Even Care?

"Noah doesn't know you." "He's not your pookie."

I know that. The funny thing is, from what little I know about Noah, I'm pretty sure if he DID know me beyond the ONE DM conversation we've had, he'd probably tell me to chill. Dude is very non-confrontational and nice. So, why do it?

Because I think the online movement in favor of Palestinian self-determination has been hijacked by teenagers and performative leftists who care more about looking good for their peers than practicing what they preach.

Because (as you can see above and in screenshots like the one below), people who claim to hold my liberal/progressive/left-leaning values have used this as an opportunity to be openly homophobic and antisemitic towards a then-19-year old who had JUST come out of the closet.

Proponents of the hate campaign against Noah have said that they are just "holding him accountable" or "criticizing him" in the hopes he "learns something."

Look up. Point to me which image is accountability. Point to me the valid criticisms.

There are none. There is just flagrant homophobia. And then there are posts like this one, coming from the same crowd:

This behavior is wrong on its face.

It is violent. It is bullying (which doesn't seem like strong enough of a word) and it's bigoted.

Wanna see more? Look up @noah_schnapp on Twitter/X. See what they've done to his account.

Inevitably, some of the people participating in this will see this blog post. If you've made it this far, this is for you:

This behavior discredits your activism. It makes you look performative and fake to say in one breath that you are a "Leftist" who cares about Palestinian lives as well as the lives of minority groups worldwide, and then to turn around and talk like this about a Jewish person and a gay KID. Because he WAS a kid when this started. Furthermore, it makes it clear to those of us who actually hold the beliefs we claim, that you are vapid enough to use Palestinian suffering for your own personal vendettas. That the APPEARANCE of goodness is more important than goodness itself. And that you will shuck solidarity with minority groups the MOMENT one of them steps out of the lines you have drawn around them.

Not to mention...

It's Based Mostly On Lies

As a reminder, this is what Noah Schnapp actually said shortly after October 7, 2023:

Read that again.

"...we will hope and pray for safety, justice, liberation, and self-determination in Palestine." That was part of the very first thing he ever said about the issue.

And then this happened:

This was the image he was crucified for.

Stickers that weren't even his. That he wasn't holding up or making. He was in a cafe, someone else came up to him with them, and he was videoed with that person.

That's it. That's all. All those tweets you saw above? The fake stories made up about him like this one?

All of that was supposedly "accountability."

The harassment of his family. Murder threats. Rape threats. All for stickers that weren't even his.

There's even a paid Stranger Things author on this very site, styling herself as a Byler shipper, who has contributed to the lies that have further added to the hate campaign I've described.

As an aside, Noah wasn't the only one in that video. The influencers that actually posted the video and HAD THE STICKERS?

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

And just to be clear - I don't think they should get hate. I think non-Jewish online Leftists appropriated a term from Jewish culture, redefined it, and are weaponizing it to beat down Jews all over the internet—which is par for the course for this charcuterie board of performative activism.

Yet the point stands. Noah was specifically targeted; and the homophobia that IMMEDIATELY came from the Left suggests to me that it was his sexuality and cultural/religious identity that motivated the attacks.

Again, I'll say, this is wrong.

Noah Has Since Responded

It hasn't stopped the bullying.

Didn't stop him from withdrawing from spaces he loved. From needing therapy from what we've learned from his now-deleted second TikTok.

And that really says something, does it? He cleared up his point. He tried to clarify and even apologize.

They didn't accept it. Not because it wasn't good enough. Not because it was "too late." Because this was the point. They wanted to keep doing it. They get sick joy from it.

Which is why...

I'm Not Shutting Up About This

This post doesn't even nearly cover the whole situation. The Byler fans who try to replace Noah's image in fan art and fan fiction. Who fan cast themselves as Will instead of Noah. The stalking and doxxing on Twitter. People reporting to GIANT hate accounts his location and when he's alone, PRAYING for him to be hurt.

I wish I could cover it all.

We have to stand up to this. On tumblr, on TikTok, on Threads, Twitter/X—everywhere we see it.

For our gay and Jewish siblings who see how Noah was attacked and feel less safe in their online spaces as a result, we have to speak up and say something.

And yeah. We have to say something for Noah, too.

The person who replied to me like this:

Him?

He did it because he needed to see a show of love from his fans. Doesn't mean he's perfect. Doesn't mean he won't mess up or do something in the future.

And no. Standing up for Noah, or for Jewish people, or other gay folks does not make you a genocide supporter or apologist. It doesn't mean you want any innocent people harmed. Don't give them the power to talk down to you like that. It's bullshit. You know it, and I know it.

All standing up to this vile shit is is an acknowledgement that Noah is a living, breathing person, as some of these people tend to forget.

And he didn't deserve this.

Any of it.

[keykey613]

i think we just won???

[keykey613]

Do you remember when we first met ?

Does anyone know the science or I guess psychology behind why some people have a clear memory of their childhood and others don't ?

Like Will doesn't remember a lot of stuff, as far as I interpreted with the shed scene and Jonathan talking about Larry and Will saying he vaguely remembered that.

But what I'm interested is about Mike Wheeler cause how do you have such a clear memory of not only meeting your best friend in kindergarten but also how you FELT. " I felt so scared and so alone" I mean that's insane. I personally don't remember shit let alone how I felt kkkk

You can see on Finn's amazing acting that this is not him guessing how he felt, he knows and it pains him.

And I know the comics are partially canon but Mike tells he was always scared of everyone at school and at his house and I'm like ????

I know Will gets called the most sensitive, which I agree, but Mike is definitely also a sensitive kid. However not the same way as Will. Will would give up something important to him because others would be upset (giving up his toy for a little girl and giving up on his feelings for Mike for El) but Mike is not like that, yes he will also shelter and be kind to a stranger/El but not to the extent of harming him or his goals (sending El to back where she came from to focus on finding Will)

So while Will is empathetic to everyone and will sacrifice his own happiness for anyone...(Not ok 🥹) Mike is empathetic to everyone but will only sacrifice for his close friends.

[keykey613]

when your communication was so shit that both of you thought the other had moved on and you're just now finding out that's not true and you're mad but are also realizing you're kind of at fault too so you don't even know what to say

[keykey613]

The way they look at each other....I fear we will not survive s5 😭

[keykey613]

Yall- waittt so i don’t think “every breath you take” my The Police should be considered “the milkvan song” I think it was meant for Will thinking about Mike. Bc we have that line in the script where Will was looking at Mike dancing with El, while he was dancing with that girl- soooo if I’m correct and that script was real..(someone let me know) Cuz if it is I feel that was the real intention behind that song being played when they were all dancing…

Alsooo it had a lot of meaning with the mindflayer as well looking over the snowball, so like it definitely has two meanings, I think.

If someone has already said this somewhere I’m gonna feel stupid
