The monsters and Dungeons and Dragons were the least cringey thing about the TV Series.
- All the White families were shown with deadbeat husbands
- The black family was the only "normal" family
- All the women, little girl characters were portrayed as sassy, strong, adversarial, no anxiety and always handling social situations better than the men
- All the men are portrayed as assholes or beta cucks.
- All the little boy characters were nerdy and socially awkward but all the little girl characters weren't but they were portrayed as smarter or superior to the little boys.
- The most powerful person is a little girl.
- They throw in a jewish wise guy archetype to give relationship advice to the White people
- The black little kid gets the red head with blue eyes girl
- Guys can't aim when shooting guns but women are accurate on their first shot.
- Wayyyyy too much time focused on child relationships. Felt like I was watching Cuties 2: A Love Story or something
- Completely and utterly unrealistic female dialogue that would never happen irl
- Little kids with way too much knowledge than they ought to have that doesn't actually add to the story
- Did I mention all the male characters felt like their balls had been cut off?
- Oh, can't forget the entirely unrealistic lesbian character who definitely wouldn't have sex with a man because lesbians like her aren't like that. Sure, sure.
I just hope Zoomers and whatever the new generation is growing up doesn't fall for this. Nothing displayed in this TV series even comes close to accurately portraying how anyone or anything is like irl. The monsters being real is more believable than the characters.
Edit - One thing I thought of that I always find fascinating about woke propaganda is that the main characters are "rebels" that don't conform to the "mainstream narrative". There's even a scene where they visit a jewish conspiracy theorist to disseminate proof of stuff most people wouldn't believe so they decide to water it down and release it to the public so people would believe it. Every character in the show is even ordered by the government not to speak the truth so they know the news media is lying to everyone the whole time. Why is it then that the biggest woke adherents are also the biggest conformists who fully believe everything in the media? I guess the idea is that "that only happens in TV shows" and they don't realize it happens irl too because they trust the system. They can correctly discern fantasy from reality when the fantasy suggests reality isn't how they want reality to be and then they can't correctly discern reality from fantasy when the fantasy is how they wish reality was.
Girls will watch the worst slop.
They never grow out of it either. Boomer females are just as bad, they just consume different flavors of the same crap. The men of that generation aren't exactly known for their great taste either but the garbage they watch isn't nearly as bad.
They transition into watching re-runs of christmas movies so they can fantasize about chad upending their entire life just to get with a worthless cunt like themselves.
God, this needs to be the top post of forums everywhere.
The Millennial mating ritual was for guys to force themselves to watch what their girlfriends / wives liked. It was even worse than the Boomers.
I did that wrong then (I'm a millennial). I forced my GF to watch everything I wanted to watch. When I started dating zoomers they refused to watch anything I wanted to watch and just watched their garbage. Even now, some girl my own age wants to watch whatever I like as a mating ritual.
So, maybe it's just me but my sample size says it's getting worse as women are getting younger.
I fixed a TV for some boomers, who were Fox News addicts that straight up told me...we just need Fox News playing when we press power on the remote.
But they told me they NEED Netflix to keep up with what their friends were watching. It was non negotiable.
That's because they never mature past their teens. Hence the old red pill expression "oldest teenager in the house".
And this is why I have 60 year old family members that act worse than my preteen kids.
Undeniably true. My gf is a very strong conservative. An avid reader. Quite smart.
But watches the worst shit on TV. True crime? Binge. 25 seasons of sister wives? Binge. Obi-Wan, and the acolyte? Binge. Nu-Trek? Binge.
It really does baffle me.
They don’t care about logic or consistency only emotional highs and lows. Stranger things had some big emotional moment like every episode.
That seems like the same phenomenon, but in the opposite direction, as a woman with super leftist politics despite living in a city that showcases the failures of those politics.
Time to eye the exit. Or youre in for a hell of a marriage. And if you have daughters..God help you. They will be on the streets with booty shorts, baggy shirts, birkenstoks and ankle white socks all before 12 years old.

At minimum, he needs to start hiding assets so he's not left homeless when she acts out some TV show fantasy and cheats with some loser.
Or when she attempts to use her true crime knowledge to kill him and get away with it. (Happened to a buddy of mine.)
And their reading habits are just as bad, if not worse.
Text porn is all it is. No different from opening up pornhub.
Worse than porn hub because their average books contain the most vile paraphernalia on the planet
Average right-wing man: I read 3 books this year. Iliad, Mein Kampf and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
Average woman: I read 50 books this year. Minotaur Milking Farm, Raped by a Gangster, Demon Sex Positions, etc...
Women's fiction is a spectrum. It runs from being a a sex object owned by the government (handmaids) to being a sex object owned by a rich guy (50 shades) to being a sex object owned by literal monsters (fucking minotaurs and werewolves and such). They constantly fantasize about being subjugated, yet keep undermining their own wishes by voting for feminism. Repeal the 19th.
Been true throughout the past century. In the past, they watched soap operas, garbage shows about constant melodrama and people cheating on each other, going insane as a result of said infidelity, trying to kill one another, and cycling through this whole routine in a show that would last for decades. Now, they watch whatever slop is on streaming, where every show is a soap opera. Only difference between now and then is that there's more slop to consume, but the current slop takes multiple years just to produce less than ten one-hour-long episodes of content.
They also read the worst slop
Flashbacks of 'milking farm'...
To be clear, I only watched the first two seasons, but here’s a trope I’m willing to bet you missed:
Some of the women can get away with acting like a giant cunt towards some of the men, and the men will still respect and like her.
This seems to be every movie since the late 80s.
Yeah, I noticed this. Also, this "acting like a cunt" to the men still means she "loves" him. Which is a terrible thing to show. No, you treat me like that and you don't love me at all, you misandrist. But, that's not what they're teaching young girls. Then these girls treat men like that and wonder why men only think they're worth is a hole to cum inside.
I havent seen the show, but that sounds semi-realistic. Women who arent on birth control have mood swings like the tide every month. So imo its totally normal even for a woman whos wife material to be a cunt sometimes. Thats just how women are.
I agree with your last sentence let me be more specific. In shows, a women (sometimes it’s some fat bitch) will cuss out and scream at a man that she is not in a relationship with. These men look like respectable men (not total betas) and they just take it on the chin and they pretend it never happened.
That can be a good way to handle it depending on the context honestly. Fighting with women is pointless. If she's worth the effort at all, maybe just assume it's her time of the month and try a different day.
Again, haven't seen the show so I don't know if this applies.
Too late.
Even Millennials have fallen for it, especially women.
YouTube occasionally recommends some normie channel covering some topic related to [current year] slop, and I'll fancy a look at some of the comments just to see if they are recoiling or eating up the slop, and 90% of them are eating up the slop.
It's easy to think that there is some revolt against the machine if you stay in red-pill/anti-woke circles where people exercise a modicum of common sense, but once you head into normie circles you realise just how liberal and progressive a large portion of people are.
Now, there is a cope that maybe it's the dead internet theory at play and all of the forum posts, YouTube comments, or social media engagements are fake bots. But I just don't think that's the case given how far left women lean politically and how often beta males and simps follow them in order to get into their orbit.
Yeah, it's funny to me when people online think there's some resistance against "woke" because I don't see it irl.
I feel like we’re seeing it in elections, in cratering Hollywood numbers and in the collapsing video game industry. Flop after flop after flop. People definitely ARE tuning out more than they’re tuning in.
Dead internet theory is definitely a factor IMO, we KNOW so much of any given day’s “current thing” is astroturfed and botted to all hell. There are definitely governments and corporations paying money to have bullshit pushed, Mike Benz has done a lot of work on it - everything is fake and gay.
But yeah, there’s also still a shit ton of millennials and GenZ’s who are woke imbeciles, so who the hell knows 🤦♂️
I’d say just assume everyone is a blithering leftist and always keep your power level hidden.
I think a lot of it is that many people are indeed revolting against overt woke retardation because so many people are sick of it. But that doesn't make them based bastions of sanity and reason. Many of those same people would eat up woke slop that's just a little bit more covert than the most over the top stuff. What might seem blatant to you or me might not be to most normies; they are not exactly known for being smart and discerning.
For example, if normies see a black disabled queer person portrayed as some super badass? Many probably would roll their eyes and think it's cringe. But being more subtle by always portraying black people and families in a good light and white dads as deadbeats? Who are they, Sherlock Holmes? Something like that is way too subtle for most normies, even many with woke fatigue, because they aren't based enough to even think to begin to look for it, no matter how obvious or blatant it may be to people like us.
Indeed. These are the retards who will knead their hands and say that crap like Fallout, House of the Dragon, the live-action One Piece, and first season of The Witcher were good. Unaware that the seeds are or were obviously planted, or refusing to acknowledge the frequent bait-and-switches in the past.
That is literally the bottom of the barrel, I have far more hope for zoomers than I do for millennial women.
Normies are all NPCs, though, their opinions have no weight on revolts happening.
True, but they make up the majority of people -- and just look at how many in the U.K., have just rolled over for the invasion?
Not just the 80s but in the middle of Indiana.
Fake nostalgia slop for the retro chic "nerds"
Ackschually…
I grew up in Indiana in the 80s. There was court ordered desegregation in the schools so black kids were bused almost an hour away to schools with majority white populations and some of those ended up as friends at school.
Mixed neighborhoods? Not so much at the time. My suburb sprawl of about 100 homes had 1 black and 1 Hispanic family in the 80s.
As for dykes, didn’t know of any at high school… but there were 2 well-known flamers.
And I got shunned for playing D&D! Nerds were not cool!
It is huge with kids at the moment. 10-12 year-olds, especially girls are watching it and it's basically you're an outsider if you don't love it, not just see it but love it as the greatest show ever. Wednesday was like that to an extent but Stranger Things is like Wednesday on steroids.
Gross. That's what I was worried about.
Retarded parents raising retarded kids.
It's parents that are centre-left. It is the same people that will defend Disney Star Wars as good. It's basically another form of virtue signalling where they're proud their kids are "not bigoted".
Neither the kids or parents are retarded but they are ideologically conquered.
Interesting. If true I wonder if that interest is organic or because their insufferable millennial and genX parents are projecting their nostalgia porn onto their kids.
It's a combination of both. You underestimate the amount of leftist or centre-left parents. They will complain about immigration, islam or gender ideology but will still have no problem with kids show promoting transgenderism because that would be bigoted.
They will defend immigrants as "they're also human" but complain that it's not safe outside do to immigrants. I'm the only right-wing in my group and most are parents. It's strange - they're still virtue signalling but it's not the same as before.
I think there is a push to make depictions of the past match the values of current day. It's why you get movies of intergrated troops during WWII, or a glut of faggots in 80s red state areas.
I never thought of this. Good point
It's redirective programming, or typical social engineering to revise history to meet the current liberal progressive standards of today.
Sort of like how many normies think that everyone was gay in Greece/Rome, or that life before 1960s in the West was some oppressive, militant fascist social regime.
I'm a zoomer, I don't personally know anyone who likes Stranger Things. Most people I know seem woke, but I know that Stranger Things and Noseflix shows are Talmud Vision goyslop
You sure you're not just in your own niche bubble?
To be fair, I only talk to people at work and dropped out of college in the 2020s before another season was releasing. I think people watched it back in high school, but I can't remember
As a mid twenties zoomer I can confirm that everyone in my highschool watched it.
The odds are pretty high that a guy who says "Noseflix" and "Talmud Vision" doesn't exactly have his pulse on what normal people are up to.
So, 69% of zoomers aren't fans watching every episode?
Yet 1/3 have.
The first season was way better than any of the other ones. It kind of coasted on its laurels after that
It just repeated itself each season but worse. That's so disappointing. Whenever I heard people talk about it in passing, I thought they had a continuous story with new elements added and actually expanded what was going on.
The "Duffer Brothers" are hacks. They accidentally tapped into a nostalgia for the 1980s and didn't know what to do with it after the first season.
So Stranger Things spanned almost a decade through the rise and peak of Woke DEI bullshit. God willing, it will never be that much again.
The theme hooked both retarded Gen X / Millennials for the nostalgic factor and the freak leftists for its demonic content, even to this day.
Normies really liked the first two seasons from 2016-2018 before pretty much everyone got familiar with the Woke playbook, which you outlined perfectly.
Not as bad as GOT season 8, but after they recycled the "Running up that hill" scene for the third time I started noticing the cracks.
I'd bet money that Steve and Robin got together after that epilogue. No way a woman would pass up a chance at an easy life by not marrying the rich guy.
Especially after that comment of hers about "overbearing significant others", she definitely broke up with that nurse.
Anxiety meds are a reliable profit center.
Yeah, it's absurd. Not even close to realistic.
I worked with guys in their 30's that loved this show and would talk about it no end. Surprising as they all were married with families but sounded like 12 year old tweens when talking about that show.
Dude, I remember this! First 2 season especially.
Zoomer men are rejecting the post WW2 narrative.
Zoomer women are fully embracing the post WW2 narrative.
The good news is one the boomers and Gen Xers start dying off, no one will support the post WW2 narrative except millenials, and they will be outnumbered.
I'm starting to think we can save this generation by Machine Oranging then with 90s TV shows. TNG, DS9, Stargate, Buffy, Xena/Hercules etc. We might need to strap them in first because their brains need to be detoxed from the ADHD tiktok toxins.
Not Xena, that was proto-woke feminist slop. Anything literal demigod Hercules could do on his show, they'd write the overweight mortal lesbian on the other show doing while making weird noises.
Yeah, she was hot. And just like the usual lesbians, both of them had children with men!
I think people are hardwired to support an underdog and that's how they view anyone who isn't white. That is the "engine" that drives "woke"
Once people nose the truth, they stop being "woke" in the traditional sense.
It's weird because those are all awesome shows... That all the worst woke cultists also watched growing up.
It's probably just a cultural coincidence rather than anything subliminal in there (aside from quietly reinforcing all the "women can be one of the boys" and colorblind bullshit). But they demonstrably don't inoculate anyone against the mind virus
TNG is loaded with proto-woke. Ideology exploration that clearly leads to our current insanity, but is alright because it's all just hypothetical scenarios involving aliens.
I love TNG
But it was probably the most woke show ever made for 10-20 years after it was made. The first season is still insanely woke by todays standards.
The last few seasons kind of deconstructed the wokeness, and DS9 continued that, but even it had its woke moments.
The difference was, it was actually a quality show made by people who cared, instead of people checking BlackRock checkboxes.
TNG is worth watching if for nothing else than seeing Sisko punch out Q.
That was DS9
Yes but puts it in context and makes it even more satisfying
I've been told anything after season 1 is just not worth it by a lot of people.
This seems to be the way all great shows are run now. Fully destroying everything good after season 1. Things like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos ... it doesn't happen anymore.
It's not allowed to happen.
We have a good show that people will like. Must destroy it!
I don’t think it’s for zoomers. I think it’s for liberal millennials and gen Xers trying to live/relive the 80’s member-berries
Its a strange phenomenon also that people will consume media: TV shows, movies, watch sports for a 2 fold reason
they believe everyone else is doing it and fear missing out
as a means to bond to others through common interests.
Its very strange indeed. I also believe women are especially susceptible to this
It's for girls
Which is bad because no one thing in the show is a good influence for girls.
Gen X'er here and one of the nerds these kids portrayed in the 80s. My other nerdy friends were eating this up on the first season and wanted me to watch a few shows. I thought the story was just your typical US military bad, nerdy kids good plot with horrible writing and nothing but membaberries and key jangling to keep people interested.
Of course these are the same people that liked Big Bang Theory, so...
I'm watching it again, and anyone good is seen as evil. If they aren't evil, they will be killed. Barbara was the first person, but her pattern shows. Anyone trying to do good or be good is hurt or damaged in some way. Only the bad people who are ready to kill are going to survive.
Also, they put the D&D away because they 'grew up' in the end. The board game was just an allegory to their childishness.
Thank you CaptainTrouble!
It was pure nostalgia bait even early on, but it got worse as the seasons went on. More DEI crap shoved in everywhere. I never got past the first season, but it is extremely popular amongst girls and the guys who are trying to fit into society. Dissident dudes roll their eyes and walk away, but the portrayal of a better world and better time appeals to the younger Gen. They have anemoia hard, and Gen X and the Millennials struggle with regular old nostalgia.
He took one for the team! 😊 & watched it.
It's highly refined globohomo turbofaggotry. And everyone on the show looks like someone just mashed "randomize" using the Morrowind character creator.
Netflix is the reigning king of goyslop
First 2 seasons were really good IMO 3rd was a guilty pleasure but was really dumb in parts I haven't seen any of 4th season and latest 5th just released so I dunno the recent drama lol
Yeah I’ll be honest, they were smart enough to make the first two seasons not complete garbage to hook us in. I didn’t make it past the first episode of the third season
The dumbest parts of 3rd season IMO is the bad CGI for the new monster to replace the Demigorgon The Mind Flayer not exactly a bad concept or monster but his kills looked like weird and a downgrade
Also Uma Thurmans daughter being a lesbian and falling in love with a 80's Molly Ringwald Sixteen Candles last episode was bizarre but whatever lol
It’s a show about monsters in another universe. Why expect realism?
I thought the monsters in another universe was the most realistic part which is not how it should be.
There's not really a "should" when it comes to fictional storytelling.
This is all the point. It's woke ideology's spank material. Don't watch slop, and it goes away
I knew that show was going to be rats ass from the moment it was announced. I never watched a second and then I heard of the cluster fuck ending that ruined the whole show. Im glad my caution and skepticism spared me the investment.
