One my good friend's and his wife usually do a cookout and have a little party for every season of Stranger Things. He asked if I would be going this year and I said no. He actually has gotten tired of the show but his wife still wants to watch. I thought the second season was worse but still didn't annoy me until the third season. I have reached a point of being so tired of the "girls who are much better than men" trope that is in everything and to top it off, they have the "insert unnecessary lgbt character"
I remember reading that she was supposed to be added as a romantic subplot for the reformed jock (makes sense for a show paying homage to the 80s) but then they decided to subvert expectations. So I would imagine the next season the four original boys will be background characters so the girls can shine. Also, that little sister was annoying, but of course the critics raved and said that lesbian character was the best one.
It goes hand in hand with the "all the good guys are married or gay" trope of the previous generation.
Exactly.
This fed the notion to women that they shouldn't approach seemingly "nice" guys because they might be gay or married. And instead of encouraging kids to build up confidence through communication skills (which should be a mandatory course introduced in the K-5 grades instead of college courses), education systems have encouraged people NOT to engage. This has been especially prevalent with men, where they're told talking to women is "harassment".
I remember guys being confused and asking on Twitter how are they supposed to know if they should talk to a woman if talking to her without her permission is considered harassment? The SJWs gave a circular answer saying that the woman needs to give them permission to talk to her, which of course isn't possible unless you first engage with the woman. As ridiculous as this all sounds, this is how young people are being taught to engage, or rather, disengage.
