Not Noah being straight up racist, islamophobic and hateful by liking a video making fun of victims in Gaze who have died and liking Amy Schumer's islamaphobic post. As a middle eastern fan, I defended him time and time again about this issue, and for what?? This is just really sad. 10,000 Palestinians have died, and he's actually making fun of it and being Islamophobic?? Horrible.
Noah's behavior has been disgusting and grossly uneducated and---I'd say it's disappointing, or heartbreaking, if it weren't completely expected for him.
I totally get why some folks are taking an ST break and I respect that decision. Because it's not just Noah sharing disinformation but Brett Gelman as well, and Ross Duffer signing an open letter that, at best, could be called misguided, and at worst, ignorant and dangerous.
I don't condone people harassing or threatening Noah and I hate that people are using his stupidity as an excuse to be antisemitic and hateful. But I can guarantee that whatever hate Noah is experiencing is nothing compared to the horrific reality of what's happening to Palestinians every day in front of our eyes while world powers do nothing to stop it.
I love Will Byers so much. I love Stranger Things in general so much. And I like to think at this point that these characters and this show are not just their actors or their creators anymore, they're ours. But fuck Noah and his privileged, uninformed, hate-filled perspective. I won't be supporting him or the others outside of Stranger Things and I hope they educate themselves and listen to Palestinian voices before even more harm is caused. (I don't have that much faith in them, though. They've shown their colors.)
Just to add some resources so this isn't just me talking shit:
Educate yourself. Listen to Palestinian voices.
There are a slew of free ebooks to learn about Palestine from Haymarket Books and Verso Books.
Here's a list of organizations you can donate to.
If you're in the US, call your representatives and demand a ceasefire and demand that the government stops funding Israel.

Wait I just had multiple epiphanies about Mike’s POV in the airport. So I made a post yesterday saying how the sudden disappearance of extras crowding the frame when Will shows up in the background of Mike & El’s reunion suggests that Mike was hyper-aware of Will’s presence…
…But there’s something else in the cinematography to back that up, and it’s that they switch to an over the shoulder shot!
Tumblr media
This is generally what they’re used for, basically to represent POV.
Before Will shows up in the shot, these are the camera angles we’ve got of Mleven:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A shot from over El’s shoulder aka her POV. And a shot from the side, like an on-looker—very non-intimate. Absolutely no over-shoulder shot from Mike’s perspective. Not until…
Tumblr media
And look who’s suddenly in frame as soon as we switch to a Mike over-shoulder aka Mike’s POV shot? Will Byers. At the same moment that all the extras constantly running past the camera abruptly pauses, allowing us to focus on what’s actually going on as if to say this is the important bit, pay attention because this is what Mike’s paying attention to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mike really was panicking here lmfao I mean we already knew it but the angles stuff just solidified it for me.
And also, the fact we don’t have a single Mike POV shot of El on her own, and that they use a sort of on-looker POV as their second conversation angle instead is so revealing:

More about the use of OTS shots
Now I sort of lied before, but not really. We do slightly see Will before when I said, I just wanted to mention it separately. It’s when we are behind Mike as him and El are hugging, and he’s facing directly at Will as they do:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
See him at the side? You could draw a straight line from Mike’s eyes to his face.
But because of his freaking glasses 😭 we’re hidden from seeing what he’s actually looking at…i.e. him covertly watching Will. It just makes too much sense with everything else. Also, El looks ecstatic, but Mike? We can’t even see his face. That contrast is so intentional. Not really sure where to end this off but yeah Mike pretending to be cool at the airport when he’s really loosing his mind over Will is so real and deliberate.

Will: But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
ST fandom: He's just a poor boy from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
