Shawn Levy, one of the directors for Stranger Things as well as the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter film, explained why he believes that the cringe scene in Season 5 Episode 7 that depicts Will as a homosexual is “incredibly important.”
Steven Weintraub is clearly a pedophile. I mean, the way he’s literally slobbering over a pointless scene, explains a lot about him. The Hollywood Elite are clearly protecting Steven Weintraub.
Yeah, so I haven't seen any Stranger Things, but it's hilarious how meaningless this scene is, and the way they laud it is classic conformist astroturfing bullshit "nailed it on the page" and "incredibly important" etc... Excuse me? This is as rote as it gets – total boilerplate checkbox. And whatever novelty there was with pulling a gay fast-one on the audience lost its scandalous shimmer decades ago. This is just some kind of mandatory symbolic sacrifice to their new world deity, ironically consistent with the occult in the show. I don't have to watch the series to know this adds nothing to the story, nor the character who comes out and still has to contest with "stranger things" no doubt.
Having a character declare he's gay is hardly ground-breaking at present. It would be more notable if a current series was produced without two same-sex parents, a gay character, or someone who prefers the pronoun "they." For a show so obsessed with the past, ST isn't even portraying it accurately at this point. Growing up in the 80s, I can personally confirm that. Is it just me or do these characters seem to be suddenly acting, well, out of character? In reality, an 80s Will would probably only have told a few very close friends he felt he could trust that he didn't like girls and possibly not until he was out on his own in the world. His mother and his grandparents (if he had any) would not have been particularly thrilled with this revelation, coming from a generation where maturity was defined by/confirmed as the assumption of normal gender roles. Grow up, get married, have a family, with the man providing a home for his wife and any children they have. Now people spend a seeming lifetime trying to figure out what forebearers accepted as a given.
The actor for Will was on The View around 2 weeks ago and Sunny Hosten asked Noah Schnapp about his character being the gayest character ever and the fantastical response. He said that "he was glad to see people embrace Will completely."
The American economy is in a shit show but the one thing on people’s minds is a character liking their own sex on a fake ass 80s hack show on a streaming platform about to buy Warner Bros.
When they put all the effort into the message, the story will suffer
The ratings already are.

If one is an adherent of physiognomy, let us just say that Mr. Weintraub of Collider exhibits what the kids these days call "pedo face."

No one likes the Will Byers character. He was the macguffin.
If I were in the boardroom I would have pushed for him to say he was jewish. "I don't like Christ" he would say. Might as well skip the theatrics.
