"The act involves McLaughlin raising his voice, putting his hand in front of his mouth in a rather stereotypically effeminate way and saying: "Oh my god!" Wolfhard adds: "The body language is there," as Schnapp laughs and says: "That's not how I cry." When asked to show how he cries Schnapp does much the same as McLaughlin but without raising his voice."
"Schnapp then exaggerates McLaughlin's impression of him which makes everyone either smile or laugh. McLaughlin says his own impression was "accurate" and that Schnapp "dumbed it down" in his own recreation of it. Throughout the whole exchange everyone seems in a good mood and is laughing. So, there's nothing to say anything between them was taken badly or caused awkwardness."
Cast members of Stranger Things participated in a Cosmopolitan junket during the show's fifth-season press tour in London. During an interview, Caleb McLaughlin imitated Noah Schnapp's imagined reaction to the final credits by raising his voice, placing a hand near his mouth in a stereotypically effeminate manner, and saying "Oh my god!" The exchange included Finn Wolfhard noting the body language and Schnapp demonstrating a similar gesture. The group laughed and appeared at ease. Some viewers on X/Twitter labeled the moment homophobic or a microaggression, while others defended it as friendly banter among castmates.
