Murray, to Will at the dining table: So Byers kid, how are you and your boyfriend Wheeler?

Byler, malfunctioning: W-what?

Murray, to Steve: And you Harrington, how long have you and Munson here have been dating?

Steddie, malfunctioning: E-excuse me?

*everyone else starts choking on their food at the same time*

Murray, raises an eyebrow: What? It's not my fault you guys keep looking at each other with heart eyes. For Pete's sake, I'm not blind.

*Robin rolls on the floor laughing*

dont worry guys steve got him!!!

Here's the thing I've been ruminating on... Whether the Duffers were queer baiting or are a bit homophobic or scared to actually make any characters queer bc the straight audience is the important audience or whatever-- The cast, tho, aren't. I think possibly what they've been hinting at or alluding to is that whether they were supposed to or not... They were playing their character that way. Like Maya and Natalia were leaning into the chemistry and like the idea of ronance. Like Joseph making Eddie flirty with Steve and Keery being on board with it. Or Noah and Finn do think Will and Mike like each other. And yeah, you could say it's another form of queer baiting but I see it more as the Duffers aren't going to make it canon but the actors actually know what people want and give us what they can. Does that make sense?

I could be way off with this but... It's just food for thought and all that.
