#the wimpification of mike comes directly on the heels of the babygirlification of mike btw. so no they can't really be totally#separated when the reasons ppl give for calling mike a wimp sissy are the very same reasons they use to call him babygirl.#which.. the babygirlification of mike is different from the way that tumblr originally used it - which is to say ironically - because ppl#take away a lot mike's key and defining characteristics that separate him from the rest of the party to call him babygirl.#and while some ppl say it in a joking manner many don't. and you SEE that in the way that people's opinions really come out in polls and#what headcanons or AUs get catapulted to fandom-wide popularity etc etc. every joke this fandom makes gets turned into Real Canon#Character Analysis that quickly replaces what gets upheld as canon and then anyone that doesn't take the joke seriously is told they're#the wrong and weird one. even though the show and countless of duffer interviews are right there. and obviously none of these people#are real but if you're someone that actually enjoys canon then you easily and quickly get shoved out of fandom because what you see#doesn't reflect the characters you love and if you try to create content that does it either gets torn down or ignored or gets people in#your inbox attacking you and telling you you're making this fandom a hostile place ironically enough lmao.#but whatever i guess lmao. 🤷‍♂️#and before someone twists this—this isn't attacking anyone for having headcanons. this is about how headcanons and jokes can never#be just that and instead bleed into actual analysis.
