it really honestly cracks me up that even when this idea of moral grayness is stated Explicitly on screen time and again, people still don’t take it to heart and actually apply it to all of the characters. yes, even our “big bad.” like, y’all didn’t realize that was the core theme of the show in season 1? and season 2? are you for real? “i’m the monster” “no you’re not. you saved me.” like that wasn’t clear enough for you? to see this little girl do bad things like kill people and call herself the monster right after doing something to help someone she just met? the fact that she opened this gate and let out this monster that killed and kidnapped people all across town and that is a Bad Thing, but she’s not a bad person for it? that wasn’t clear enough for you? and now they have to say it On Screen in the Fucking Script that there are no monsters and no superheroes, nothing is ever that black and white, and you’re STILL not??? listening??????? bye

#sorry im mad fhgjsdhkf it's just !!!! i dont fucking get it!!!!#moral grayness is only okay if you're the Good Guy i guess #but also you can't do something Too bad like *checks notes* hate cats #because NO THEYRE GOOD THEYD NEVER DO THAT #listen. sometimes. people who are trying to be good. also do bad things. and have bad things in their past #like that's normal. that's a normal thing #and more often than not. someone who is coded as Bad or Evil #either has a reason for the choices they made. or theyve misunderstood something. or they are being misunderstood by others #get off of the internet and out of your preachy self righteous echo chambers please please please #go talk to a stranger at the supermarket i beg of you #stop making moral goodness into a performance WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. WE ARE ALL HUMAN #go take an anthropology course or smthn jesus christ #i say things #stranger things #you dont want me to start going on about how brenner had a reason for being as fucked up as he was and he thought it was a Good reason
