People Are Sharing What They Don’t Like About “Stranger Things”

“The way non-white characters, especially Lucas and Erica, are written. I’ve seen this topic get talked about a lot on TikTok, but Lucas is the character that consistently gets brutalized the most I believe.

“They try to place his racist bullying experience on the same plane as the other boys getting bullied. Showing a Black child (Erica) get assaulted by a grown white man for no reason made a lot of viewers uncomfortable; racism was really used as a plot device this season, and Billy is given a redemption arc even though he was constantly racist to Lucas.”
