Stranger Things' homophobic humiliation of Will Byers and the Byler fandom (queerbaiting + more)

Описание: My video detailing the ways how the show treated Will Byers and the Byler fandom was homophobic.

From Wikipedia: "Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who identify or are perceived as being lesbian, gay or bisexual. It has been defined as contempt, prejudice, aversion, hatred, or antipathy..."
