SNL's Stranger Things Skit Stokes The Flames Of A Dying Fan Fire
"The former child actor talks about growing up on the Netflix show over the past decade, and says the first time he learned what a woman looked like "down there" was captured on camera during the show. We then cut to a clip of his character Mike seeing a Demogorgon open its monstrous jaws. You get it? Vaginas are scary! Like a flesh-eating monster!"
"Thankfully the show's actual Stranger Things skit fared better, envisioning Netflix milking the series into multiple spin-offs, including a Sex and the City parody starring Wolfhard's character as a writer in '90s New York City. However, it too has come under fire for what some are calling a tasteless joke about Lucas' future sex life with partner Max, who now "just lies there like she's back in that coma," a reference to her character being in a coma during the show."
"Meanwhile, the skit's joke about Will's infamous coming-out scene in season 5, which fans said was sweet but a bit hokey and longwinded , has gotten an absurd bad-faith response from some viewers. 's skit jokes that Will isn't getting a spin-off because this coming-out scene is still going on. The choice to poke fun at the scene has been deemed homophobic , to which I say"
Finn Wolfhard hosted Saturday Night Live and the episode included a Stranger Things spoof that referenced post-finale backlash and the Conformity Gate conspiracy. Wolfhard's monologue contained low-hanging misogynistic jokes comparing female anatomy to a monster. The sketch imagined multiple Stranger Things spin-offs, including a Sex and the City parody, and included a tasteless joke about Max being like she is "back in that coma." The skit also poked fun at Will's extended coming-out scene, which some viewers deemed homophobic and prompted criticism of the show's humor choices.
