Robin: I like Tammy Thompson.
Steve: GURRLLL YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN TAMMY THOMPSON.
Autistic Amuro I love that he’s making sure she gets the right woman 😭❤️
Autistic Amuro gurrll she can do better than girls
Anonymous User you serious?
Anonymous User uh oh, we gotta homophobe in this bitch👀
love yourself like Soobin loves bread None of that “needs to be protected” shit i hate it
when she said “steve” trying to get him to realize she’s gay, i lost it
But...
But Tammy Thompson’s a girl...
Yes, very good Steve. You’re doing great.
@@Ray-hk1zm Tbh, he did the greatest
@@mat_max A true icon.
This took place in 1985 so back then being gay or lesbian wasn't that easy to say
Acually alot of women say it like that when they're not interested or interested anymore
Steve immediately roasting her taste in women after she came out just has major chaotic best friend energy. Iconic duo
Fr I love them sm
I love how instead of being digusted or upset he was rejected, he just went, "Really? You can do better than her." At least to me it shoes how much they mean to each other
@@minisarge2619 its a netflix show. off course hed be acceptive
@@l.v1473 Most people aren’t jerks and won’t ghost someone just because of their sexuality 😐
@@fluffyplushie16 today yeah, but this show isn’t set in modern day. This season is set in 1985, and it would be totally normal and accepted to ghost her and never talk to her again cause she’s gay. Do I think it’s right? No, of course not, but that’s the truth.
A lot of people think Steve’s reaction is bad because he starts ‘criticising’ her choice in women. As someone who is queer, if I came out and I got this reaction, I would feel so much relief. Steve isn’t criticising her. He knows she’s terrified, and he wants to reassure her that it’s okay, and he starts making fun of Tammy to show her that she deserves way better.
I just really love this scene because I hope my friends will have the same reaction when I come out, and I just feel comforted by this.
I’m not gay but I see your username is in a Eastern European language. Godspeed because I know it may be extra scary for you.
I mean it’s not just that it’s the fact he confessed and got rejected at the same time he found out so it’s understandable
I think it’s less that he want to show her that “she deserves better” and more that friends often make fun of each other, but trust each other enough to know they’re joking, so Steve starts poking a little fun at her taste in women in a friendly sort of way to let her know that the friendship is still there and that she doesn’t need to worry.
@@johncouch587 Eastern Europe is not Middle East.
@@nesaroth a lot of it has a much more conservative society than Western Europe. While you wouldn’t be killed or anything, I’d imagine being ostracized is a legitimate fear.
robin: "im lesbian"
steve: "I thought you were american"
🤪
oml 😂
Lol
Their entire dynamic in just 9 words.
that's how the scene shouldve gone
Steve had the best character development of all time. From douchebag popular jock who only cared about himself to being a single mum who accepts people for who they are.
Lol, you're so sad.
@@JeanDefee how?
@@JeanDefee lol, shut up
Two words: Jaime Lannister
He is so keel becuz he accupt ppl 4 Jo day r
I love how instead of Steve being like "WHAT, YOU'RE GAY?!?" he's just like "Oh Robin, we have to talk about your taste in women. Cuz you can do so much better."
Steve is a golden retriever
@@thesteverobinchannel1207 Steve is the goat, greatest of all time
He immediately accepted her

Robin: *Coming out as a lesbian*
Steve: Cool
Robin: Theres no problems?
Steve: Yeah, your taste.
I love Steves character. Homophobia was so bad in the '80s and Steve just shrugs it off and has no problem.
especially when you remember how Steve was in S1, his character development of going from homophobic prom king pretty boy dating the most perfect girl in school to bisexual mum of six with a crush on the metalhead outcast and whose best friend is a lesbian is one of the best in TV history
Steve is a golden retriever
Ook: *coming out as a homersexual in 8000 B.C.E*
gnak: *reaches for sharpened bone club*
Ook: **grunt** problem?
gnak: *THWACK*
Ook: *silence*
i HATE gnak. Homophobia was SUCH a big problem in the 8000 BCEs... homophobia is such an ABNORMAL, and backward practice... which means everyone pre-20th century was evil, stupid, and backward. YEP, that's right. US who have only lived for a century can declare that everyone before us (ho*mohpboic**xs) are evil backward and stupid.
Cockroaches are the 2nd lowest lifeforms. And you won't see them jumping onto a fellow sex of their's. That tells you ALL you need to know...
@@cloudwinchester6877 he is not bisexual, I think...
@@serikim6700he was, he said bad things about Will and Jonathan
I love how when Steve realises Robin is gay, he just carries on talking with her instead of being upset she doesn't like him back. Instead of teasing her being gay, he teases her choice in women. And this is the same guy who made a homophobic slur in S1
he did? woah, definition of character developed
Best character development in the show
Would being upset be so bad though? It's perfectly natural and understandable to be upset if someone you're into doesn't like you back.
Agent Z46 yes, yes it would, you can’t expect them to naturally grow feelings for you and then getting mad at them is probably the douchiest (wow what a word) thing to do
@@sehersfrooty I said upset, not mad. Like sad.
You can see Robin is struggling so hard. She knows she's going to break Steve's heart, but she has to tell him the truth because she really loves him and knows he deserves honesty. And Steve handles the situation sooo brilliantly. This scene is so touching, sad and relieving at the same time. Masterpiece.
Keev Hardy i’ve been in the same situation robin was. having to break your best friends heart is hard. she portrayed the emotions perfectly.
@@skippingconsistently3851 Same, and yeah it just fucking hurts.
@@skippingconsistently3851 I know right ugh 😣 I love Robin so much and Steve their the best friends ever tbh ❤
Right. Masterpiece
Yes! I can imagine exactly what she’s thinking at every point
The part where Steve is describing his crush and Robin immediately knew he was talking about her and the way she got frustrated and sad knowing that she'll break his heart is such an emotional scene 🥺
I thinks she's also afraid for herself that he'll end their friendship and tell other people what she said. I was around in the 80s and let me tell you that coming out as a Lesbian in a small Midwestern city would have been a tough journey.
its so amazing because you can tell she loves him and is taken aback by how sweetly he talks about her, but knowing she will never love him romantically
I love how they framed this scene, especially the first half. They're directly facing each other but the toilet partition provides a divide that lets them both express their emotions perfectly: Steve's rising sincerity and Robin's crestfallen despair. It was so bold and unexpected to *NOT* have them end up together (what a swerve) but geez do I love how it developed both of their character's even more.
Stop making this about Steve istg
@@lottegeldof4987 It's about both of them and Steve is the character we've know longer so his development as a person in this moment is just as surprising as Robin's bravery for opening up and making herself vulnerable during such an unsupportive decade. STOP TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO FEEL. Freaking gatekeepers, I swear...
1:32 Maya Hawke’s performance is so good. You can tell she appreciates the fact that Steve likes her, but it hurts her too because she realizes she has to tell him she’s gay.
Bro a girl is a gay? I-i dont understand
@@mugi8833 Gay is also used as an umbrella term for anyone liking the same gender as themselves. So, yes, it applies to girls as well. I hope this could clear up the confusion :)
@@mugi8833 gay just means homosexual, a gay girl is a girl that likes other girls, a gay guy is a guy that likes other guys lol
Fake n gay
they were on drugs
the way robin just desperately looks to steve with water in her eyes after he says “but she’s a girl” is heartbreaking, but the soft “oh” he says after he realizes is so kind and understanding. him being supportive of her just is another clarification that steve harrington is an angel among men
Madeline Voelkel but robin said she had crush on him. is she gay or not
@@sundarakarma9174 she was saying that to cover up the fact that she was a lesbian
@@sundarakarma9174 3:19

@@sundarakarma9174 it's cool
I have never shipped and unshipped people so fast
Me too
Same lmao
Sameeee
SAME like, i used to ship them but when i knew robin was a lesbian i unshipped them right away
Returned
as a lesbian, i relate to Robin so much in this scene. i could just feel the pain in her chest, knowing that she can’t possibly feel the same way and wishing they could’ve just stayed best friends. i wish i had a friend like steve, because most of the times this happened to me, they didn’t take it nearly as well. especially since steve was born in the 60’s, it’s amazing how kind and accepting he is in comparison to people i know who were born in the 2000’s
You're valid af, stay strong, you'll find a good friend soon!
I mean it is a show but i think in general someone from the 60s would take it way worse compared to someone from the 2000s
people can so beautiful and lovable until they think theres something wrong w you and they start acting insane to the point you don't know them anymore
@@rhysstanley7387 I think it depends on the person
Like, Steve seems like the kind of person who would really accept her and love her anyway, or at least, Steve from season 3-4 and maybe 2 (I don't think the Steve from season 1 would be this open and great)
It's a really rare thing probably between people of that eras, but he seems the exception
Like now there are people who are like this, so more open and who don't find anything wrong with it and people who find it a taboo or something terrible
(I hope there aren't grammar mistakes here, I'm not a native speaker so sorry in advance in case I made any)
@City Beautiful Adventures yeah that thing wasn't that great of him... Even though it was probably his way to say "stay safe"
A very bad way to say "stay safe" but still a way
Luckily they didn't kill him before... The new Steve is one of the best characters ever and I'm really happy they made him grow up like that
When Steve says “ I think he’s thinking a lot more clearly than usual” and “Robin that’s exactly why I like you “ literally breaks my heart bc Robin must’ve felt so guilty
@swegga.331 total eclipse of the heart
As a straight dude with a really close female friend who's gay, Robin and Steve's friendship was the best part of season 3 and super relatable.
Edit: This has aged kinda poorly because I've realised I'm bi but I still platonically love my friend so fuck it.
JP O'Brien i know Man! I met my best friend kinda like this and I could relate as well! She is amazing and I love her! Just like Steve loves robin! Can’t wait for season 4
@@peter7371 "kinda like this" so you and your best friend were chased by a russians in the mall who ran a super secret facility to open a portal to an alternative reality :p cool

Underrated comment !!!!💀💀💀💀
Hailey Vallet it’s a vine lol. they just said it bc it would fit with the scene.
We need a Robin & Steve spin off that's just a workplace buddy comedy where they get fired at the end of every season and have to start a completely different job at the start of the next one.
We need this SO badly
Underrated comment
i would KILL for this, keep it live-action too
Wait yo this sounds good. 😳 I should try that
YES.I would watch it in a heartbeat
That soft "Steve" after he says Tammy Thompson's a girl has me in shambles. She was so terrified of what he would say, that he would reject her and she'd lose her friend, ugh. Great acting.
Robin: “I like girls.”
Steve: “Really?! Me too! We should keep hanging out!”
Derek Fisher well its now you douche
@Derek Fisher It's also not natural to wear glasses, dye hair, use the restroom anywhere but the ground, eat processed foods, get divorced, or even wear braces. But I guess we just pick and choose huh?
Lol
@Derek Fisher are you saying girls can't love girls? Your an @$$hole
Fun facts studies says being homosexual is pretty common in nature so it's pretty natural
“And the guy?”
“He’s on drugs and is not thinking straight”
actually Robin, you’re the one not thinking straight
gotem
DAYUMMM
AYOOOOOOO
LMAOOSJH
OooooOoOoOOOooooooo
They’re so cute together, I’m convinced they are soulmates just not romantic, rather platonic soulmates
Media when male and female are hinting to romantic interest: haha no they're platonic, in fact the woman is gay and the guy is a soy drinking beta male so he continues his friendship with her
Media when male and male have a platonic friendship: they are GAY and will express it in a GAY shy timid way. And then we will introduce homophobic characters that end up becoming GAY and joining a monkeypox orgy with the two GAY men
Tldr; Hollywood sexualizes male platonic friendships and platonizes male-female relations.
Twin Flames is the proper term.
To me the best part isn’t even that she came out and he’s cool with it.
It’s that he poured his heart out to her, basically confessing his love, and then she revealed that not only does she not feel that way about him; she never will - never CAN, even - and he not only accepts it; he immediately starts joking with her like he didn’t just get his heart stomped on (again).
Steve is the GOAT. People say Mike is the heart of the show but it's been Steve for a long time now.
@@EvilMagnitudeI think you’ll find that ONE PERSON thinks Mike is the heart and that’s because he has a crush on him lol
This series is set in 1985. A time when being openly gay was extremely dangerous. And also a time when TV and movies started challenging the idea that being gay was somehow wrong.
Robin represents that. A wonderful, quirky, lovely girl that is struggling in her loneliness about being gay, about wanting someone to love...about being accepted.
And there is Steve, one of the biggest jerks from her school, turning out to be a damned good friend. And she is TERRIFIED that he will reject her friendship, that he may even attack her over being gay (which happened and still happens today)...she loves him AS A FRIEND...and she is scared.
And Steve simply accepts it. It takes a few seconds to understand it. She may be the first gay person he ever met. And he just...accepts it. When so many would not have, Steve make a Muppet joke and accepts her.
That is why in the end, Robin gets Steve a job. She will now defend that doofus until the day he dies. Steve protects the Party, but Robin protects Steve. Because he earned it.
So true
SignoftheMagi Steve is absolutely amazing. A true gem
Oh god imma start crying😭😭😭😭🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Isak Törnqvist golden.
He protec

He on drugs so just throw him in the back
Isak Törnqvist 🤣
The protect/attack meme actually works for Steve.
What if she's actually bi?
This is literal perfection in writing and direction. Steve is perfectly written and Robin was the perfect edition. This is maybe my favorite scene in anything ever. Absolute perfection
I should also add that Dixon and steins music is what elevates this to even higher level
Also Maya Hawke’s acting is just perfect. You can see all the emotions she’s feeling in her face, and really feel the fear in her voice. She’s a wonderful actor.
It is *impossible* to not at least crack a smirk at this scene. Every scene with Robin and Steve is so funny and adorable
the Dustin and Erika sends it

Lol loser
I love how she's worried that he's gonna freak out on her and Steve is just like: wtf you like THAT girl, she can't even sing🤣🤣
Btryx I see the supernatural fandom.....
It's cuz he's trying to get rid of the tension. Obviously its really weird for him but since they are friends he doesnt really want to make things awkward since he ya know said he liked her. So he throws some jokes in the mix. Because he is amazing, poor steve :(
Btryx why was robin acting weird when she met nancy
@@edincehic864 No. It comes naturally cause it is not a big deal. He doesnt have to throw in the jokes.
@@svenr.3803 I think it's a little bit of both. On the one hand, Steve has come such a long way from the arrogant, judgemental d-bag he was in season 1, so it is totally in character that he would be so accepting of Robin regardless of her sexuality or the fact that she didn't reciprocate his romantic feelings for her. On the other hand, he probably understands on some level that coming out to someone (especially back then in middle America) is / was a pretty big deal, and ripping on her choice of crush is his way of showing that nothing has changed between them. Without explicitly saying so Steve is showing Robin that he accepts and supports her, because that's what friends do.
I love how the music swells when Robin starts to realize that everything is ok and that she has been accepted
1:42 That look breaks my heart. It’s not the look of “Oh man, I need to reject this guy” it’s the look of “Oh no, I need to tell this guy something that might make him never like or respect me again.”
Both, and more. Kudos to Maya Hawke for some excellent acting here.
the absolute hurt you can see in robin's eyes when she realizes that steve likes her is so heartbreaking. you can tell that their friendship means so much to her and she's terrified that by rejecting him she'll ruin it. that's what makes this show and the characters so relatable and loved, because i think we all go through that at some point.
Also probably the fear that her new best friend wouldn't accept hat she's gay... :(
I mean so
Hat shes gay?
capricorny Amazing how you somehow focused all of the attention of Robyn and didn't care at all about how Steve felt.
capricorny are you lesbian?
Years later and I will stand by the fact that Steve is the most well-written character in this show. His character progression is unrivaled
i went from hating him to adoring him by the end of s.3 - pretty incredible writing, i think!
yes but the character gets no wins ... from the ladiesmagnet degraded to a joke in costume... i would have wished hed get a girl.. or at least more respect from his surroundings. This scene was like one more punch in the stomach of this already unlucky chracter. Hes the most punished character in this series by far,, his downfall undeserved.
@@bigboulder I don't think this was any kind of gut punch for Steve. His crush is unrequited, sure, but he obtains a best friend which is in many ways what he needed as a character. It also directly shows character growth compared to how he was dealing with rejection in the first season. I would expect him to fully transition into a father/big brother figure in the fourth season. I suspect there might be a romantic subplot for him as well
@@bigboulder you don't need a romantic relationship to be happy.
@@jeebe393 a matter of opinion..but i would guess that most people would prefer to have a partner in life..and for steves character..thats definately his goal.
I could've skipped several years of therapy if absolutely anyone had responded to me coming out as well as Steve did.
hi i don't know you or anything but i hope you're doing well right now and i & many people in this world do support you
So great how they brought this conversation back when Tammy comes to sing before the game and Robin and Steve just look at each other like “muppet.”
At this point Netflix is the biggest Stranger Things fan account 😂

Honestly thooo
Me before knowing robin was gay: omg they could end up together
Me after knowing robin was gay: omg they’re like brothers from another mother
Am I the only one who thought she was gay from the get go, like I didn't expect them to make it canon but she felt like such a lesbian(this feeling might also come from my crush on her)

I do like a good sandwich.
@@han9k. yeah, they've been building up to that very gently for a while. They aren't hiding it, but they're being subtle with it and expressing it through allusion and visual acting without outright stating anything. Also important for a character being played by an actor that has been underage for most of the series.
It's so rare and so refreshing to have a female, lesbian character be best friends with a male, straight character.
Way more often than not it's a gay guy that is best friends with the straight girl.
dude she captured the exact emotion a lesbian feels when a close male friend catches feelings, like sadness and discomfort and anxiety.
Its not the guys fault tho, and usually you keep the ones that act like this lmao
caleviwin i wasn’t implying that it’s his fault. the sadness is also from knowing you will have to hurt someone you love, by rejecting their deep, romantic feelings for you. no one wants to have to do that.
fr
yanaaa same 🥺😔
Her action is gold
The bathroom design, the cinematography, the dialogue, the acting, this scene is ICONIC
music?
Agreed. 💯
Hue Manatee there's music..?
nikoru yes. It’s very subtle
The aliens need to see it.
The pain in her eyes, when Steve was talking about his crush on her. This whole scene is a cinematic masterpiece
Steve roasting his lesbian bestie's taste in women immediately after getting rejected is peak friendship, I would have loved if I was treated like that when I came out. He understands, supports, and is there for her.
Steve’s reaction seems pretty spot on for the time this takes place. You can kinda tell that he either has never met a gay person or perhaps he at one point bullied one back when he was a douche. His reaction is a mix of surprise, confusion but also acceptance
Juan Jaramillo pretty sure he called Johnathon a “queer” in s1 so yh this is good character development
Not only that, but he makes fun of who she crushes on and not her,
It's like, he's still the Steve we love, he's just come further in a good way without changing completely
it also shows that when someone makes the argument of "Well, he was just a product of his time" to explain away homophobia or other bad stuff, it's just utter bullshit. Steve, who started out as a vapid '80s douchebag, nonetheless has a good heart, which is something that transcends the societal hang-ups of any era.
yeah!
@@lauristonbrewster9097 I can't be more disagree with you, you have described Steve perfectly! And I wanna give all my respect to Duffer brothers for all the work they put in stranger things! It's really a good thing for people who watch the show! :)
Everything about this scene is just so authentic and likable, Season 3 was all great but Robin and Steve were absolutely the standout. Joe Keery and Maya Hawke should be in everything.
Indeed, I'm glad that they didn't have Steve and Robin hook up, as you might expect in stories like this. Instead, they are still able to maintain a strong friendship after their adventures. Yay for subverting expectations!😀 #scooptroopforlife
This is so true i want to cry
@@trinaq nah this was a blow to Steve. Damn a girl who was baiting you the whole time saying things like I wish you knew me and making him think she liked him was messed up. I think in reality guys would feel disappointed. I feel bad for Steve as once again shot down
She led him on the whole time. I hated this scene.
Ryan Carpenter how did she lead him on?
I’ll be honest, I haven’t watched a single episode of this show, but I find myself coming back to this video and watching it whenever I need to cry. As a lesbian, this is probably the most genuine coming out scene I have ever seen, it’s so goddamn beautiful
fr!! its so beautiful in its simplicity!! the subject matter is so huge but their friendship outshines any need for secrets and its so sweet!
It may well be the best scene in the entire series. I just adore this scene. I may not be queer personally, but several of my friend are, so I can empathize. I've also just struggled with any feeling of acceptance, so I can identify on that level as well. May we ALL wind up with friends as accepting as Steve in this scene.
Homophobia was quite bad in the 80s so the fact that robin came out to Steve in the bathroom and he's supported her is like so sweet ♥️♥️
Uh is it the boys or girls room and how do we know??
@@ville__ It's not the focus of the scene so what does it matter?
She loves him, but she's not in love with him. You can see it in her eyes
And that’s why she’s a great actor
@@yy0k1 that is why they are both great characters. despite his faults, its believable that a wonderful bond could grow between them. (top trivia, steve was suppose to die in season one to the demigorgon, but the show runners ended up keeping him because they love the actor and his style both on and off camera.)

@@SassySiSi Oh so, because she's a 'good' person, she deserves someone now huh? Isn't that what you women say is the exact opposite of frustrated men who get overlooked by women?

exactly
The good thing is he wasnt in love with her yet, just interested. At least thats how it seems to me anyway
Steve handled it like a champ and a true friend. 💯👏🏽
The way Steve reacts to her confession by making her laugh and being totally cool about it is the best thing ever. Character development y’all
Just imagine how season 1 Steve would've reacted to her coming out.

@@stinkyassclown4602 What's funnier is that Steve's development was an accident, since both he and Dustin's plotlines were going nowhere, they just made them cross paths with each other.

'oh hey you like boobs? Big deal. I like boobs.' These two are friends for life and amazing, and I utterly adore the pair. Theyv'e got eachother's backs. And coming out in the eighties is all kinds of terrifying. She trusted him, and was still terrified.
This is actually the best coming-out scene I've ever seen. Good for her. When someone close to me admitted their orientation - I just told them 'I still want grandkids'.

That's how you reveal a gay character, by waiting till the show is released. Not going on the internet saying, "say hello to the first bona-fide openly gay character of the show!". Stranger Things did it right.
And not only that, but her being gay is actually meaningful and adds depth to the character and the story.
Great writing, if you ask me.
@Matheus E
You sure? I didn’t sense any real implications of her being a lesbian at all. Not like she should’ve worn a sign on her chest exclaiming her sexuality, but I honestly feel like the character would’ve remained relatively the same if she was straight. It’s not a bad thing that they added an admittedly “gay” character to the roster, but I feel that they should’ve done it in a way that would actually impact/explain the decisions she makes over the course of the show, not just so that she could turn down Steve.
Hopefully in the fourth season they’ll actually build upon her sexuality and properly implement it into her character, but I just feel like the way the “big reveal” happened could’ve been better.
@@swissidol8403 The way i see it, it changed her and the relationship she had with Steve.
For example, it shows the struggle she had with her sexuality possibly affecting her friendship with Steve, because he could judge her or being so heartbroken.
Sure, she didnt need to be gay for the Steve rejection thing to work, but i think it was a clever way to do it. I mean, Nancy already dumped Steve cause he wasnt her type, if the same happened to Robin, it would be kinda boring.
I also think it was meaningful to her, because it adds to her personality. The whole season i thought she liked to tease and mock Steve in a way of drawing his attention to her, kinda like "notice me" way. So it works like a semi plot twist, if you will.
And yeah, it wasnt explored a lot, but it didnt needed to be. Shes a secondary character on a pretty large roster, and sexuality is far from the main focus of the plot.
Matheus E remember that a certain character being gay doesn’t _have_ to be meaningful or add depth. They can just be. It’s called existing. Yet so many ppl rage when it happens
@@sia6045 Actually, it does have. Anything you do with a character, must have a purpose to them or the story. If it does not have, you're just wasting the audience time with filler information.
Oh my gosh. I just realized that they play “The First I Love You” when they’re laughing about Tammy singing like a muppet. What’s so profound about this is that it’s a platonic love, not just a romantic love. I love this scene so much
Steve goes from calling Johnathan a 'queer' in season 1 to having a lesbian best friend in season 3/4. That is character development.
The way Robin goes when she realises he’s in love with her makes me so sad because she knows that she’ll have to hurt him and she doesn’t want to do that
Why no comments?!?(except mine)
Maya did this part very well!
Totally, the moment where Robin huddles into herself because she knows that Steve deserves to know the truth, but this being the mid 1980's, she's nervous as to what his reaction will be, and that he won't want to be associated with her anymore. Maya's acting really sells this scene!❤😀
Trina Q not to mention he’s probably the first person she’s come out to
I know it breaks my heart
Robins face when she realised that Steve was talking about her, it’s like she was worried he would freak out

she was very slow honestly, and also telling him that she was obsessed was like, what?
Luis Mena RAP
IK I was like why are you leading Steve off if you were gay the whole time.
@@addieeeson She's bi of course she likes him some relationships takes time to grow specially if ones still discovering her sexuality.
SMP2390 She’s not bi lol, the actor who plays robin says she’s a lesbian
Robin assuming he wouldn’t want to be her friend if he knew the truth gets me every time. This is so well written and acted. The chemistry between Maya and Joe is perfect as these two chaotic well meaning friends.
this is the most beautiful coming out scene ever in history Steve's reaction after this made the whole thing more adorable
It's an iconic scene.
"He's not thinking straight"
Robin, pretty sure that's the problem at first. That he was thinking *straight* and not *gay*
Tyra Thorn I had the exact same thought when she said that
Tyra Thorn little did she know Nacy wheeler was a lesbian
@@ak.2394 huh?
We all know Steve is bi
@@jordanstephens3888 yep, and Will is 100% gay, it was so obvious
I can practically taste Robin's relief when Steve starts teasing her for her taste in women. that was SO MUCH trust she gave him.
T K No, this show may take place in the 80s but it has a really modern hindsight applied to that time period.
@ yea
imagine coming out and your best friend instantly judges your taste in women
THE1NONLY1 I think by taste in women he didn’t mean the fact that she was gay, just making fun of Tammy
@@Pewds9 it's better than him freaking out, telling your parents, making fun of you, telling your school, beating you up, etc.
Steve accepting her for being gay after he just expressed his love for her is truly amazing. Just shows how close they are as friends, and Steve still willing to be friends with her is amazing, especially during that time.
Side note: Honestly, I can see them making an agreement like “hey, if we both don’t get married by 30, we will just marry each other for government benefits.”
I love how heartwarming this scene is. Most guys react to their crush being a lesbian with “I can change that, I’ll fuck you straight”, “You’re too hot to be gay”, “I’ve been friendzoned by the only girl j wanted to fuck” or like it’s a blow to their ego. But Steve takes it in stride and they can both laugh together. It’s just so nice. 🥰
Exactly lol, so nice to see Steve change because old Steve would’ve been a hateful bigot
@@necrosis6037 He sure would, and definitely nice!
What
@@user-qo6pw7pn3w I know you have eyes, you can read.
Steve, you're doing amazing sweetie.
Seriously. He's not upset that the girl he's just admitted feelings for is gay. He's just upset she's fallen for a girl he doesn't think is good enough.
Megan Ripley come on, you can’t possibly expect him to accept that his best friend (after Dustin) has fallen for an idiot who sounds like a muppet giving birth
It shows how far Steve has grown as a character. In Season 1, he wouldn't have looked twice at Robin, and would have laughed straight in her face had she come out to him then. Now, he simply teases her for having poor taste in girls, and they continue their friendship. ☺
@@christhiancore ...Cause it's fun??? It's fun discussion character development, ect.
I love it because he don't thinks in hilself, he thinks in her, that's nice

As if anyone needed another reason to love Steve Harrington, he showed he was the most comforting person and could defuse a very painful personal and heartfelt situation in the blink of an eye.
If they kill him off, im seriously walking on this show, despite how great it really is.
It's amazing how much compassion is in Steve's heart. He dindn't judge her as a lesbian. What could have been a moment of anger or frustation was truly a moment of laugheter and compassion. I love Steve. ❤❤❤
Considering that this show is in the 80’s and Steve is accepting that Robin is gay makes it even more awesome

@@JustinSullivanMarketing just let her be gay
ofe wait so I’m confused she’s just gay? Cause she said that she really liked him, but does she mean in a friend type way??
I love how Steven didn’t judge Robin for being a lesbian, instead he judged her taste in women. What a Cute Scene
Her nervousness is so well acted
I love how they didn’t make her being gay her whole personality, and just part of it. They wrote it so well. I also love how they didn’t use the stereotype of the boy-girl friendship turning into romance
I agree, robin is extremely well written but man i just want my boi steve to be happy and find love!
Stranger Things is really good at breaking stereotypes and that's one of the reasons I like it. Like back in season 1 I thought Hopper was going to be one of those adults who doesn't listen to the kids at all and thinks they are just making up all the stuff so that the kids have no choice but to solve the mystery by themselves. Instead Hopper became one of the main characters who also tries his hardest to solve the mystery and that was definitely a good thing.
Stereotype? Relationships can only start one of two ways: boy and girl meet and immediately start dating or they become friends and then start dating. I think you mean rom-com trope.
the writers actually did plan to make robin and steve a couple, but the actors didn't feel it so they workshopped this scene and the producers ended up liking it so much that none of it was cut
Honestly as I was watching this the first time, I thought that this was going to be a love confession scene and I was just like... :/ this feels so cheesey and cliché?? But okay ig, they wouldn't be an awful pair. Soooo happy they did this instead, also was lowkey hilarious watching my parents get all uncomfortable bc of unexpected gay.
steve: lol tammy thompson is girl tho
robin: people are gay, steven
omg that is the best reference everrrr
they’re lesbians harold
Underrated comment right here
Who’s Steven?
Omg this comment deserves an emmy
I haven’t watched this scene in so long and I wanna cry their friendship is the most purest I’ve ever seen. I love them so much
I just can't get over their Chemistry, the Friendship, Their platonic pure Love, the utter candid confessions, the emotions, the acting,
it's so natural on unfathomable levels.
This is one one the perfect scenes in Cinematography.
"She couldn't stop starring at you"
I think people are forgetting just how bad homophobia was in the '80s, so imagine how terrifying this must be for Robin and how kind Steve is for understanding.
I mean they were ostracized fired and kicked out of homes and hospitals
And his opinion just so happened to align with 2020 views. That’s convenient.
@@levanceland Actually, not *everyone* was a total dick in the 80s like you are now
@@p0lyxena of course. That's why the word f((a))g was allowed in pg-13 movies for the 80s and 90s..

they have such good chemistry, this feels exactly like a conversation id have with my best friend
Steve didn’t need a girlfriend, he needed a best friend. And he got one.
a lesbian bestfriend**** - from a fellow lesbian
Yeah, I’m happy he made friends with robin, they have sm chemistry and a rlly good dynamic
I still hope he finds true, forever-lasting love in S4 or S5
He needs a girlfriend that is also a best friend. I mean, that's the best kind of partner.
Ma boi Dustin getting disrespected
When people ask you "If there is toxic masculinity, what is healthy masculinity?", point them toward Steve Harrington.
@@af2518 Are you fucking serious?
A F He's trying to JOKE about the girl, so he can lighten up the mood. He didn't realize she was gay right away because it probably wasn't common for people to immediatly assume somebody's gay in the 80's.
@@af2518 because you sound dumb with your first comment. Steve couldn't have known she was gay because she had given no prior hints that she was gay before this moment.
I'm really annoyed by people like you. People who take what is supposed to be a funny and heartwarming scene and twisting it into something bad. Go back to Tumblr
@@af2518 oh honey, I am not a homophobe. I am in a happy relationship with my boyfriend ;)
@@af2518 this was the Eighties. Back in the Eighties, not a whole lot of people came out back then so I can forgive Steve for not knowing.
I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to apply a 2019 mentality to an 80s story but it just won't work
robin’s reaction when she realized he was talking about her is so sad she didn’t want to break his heart but she knew she would
People who say that the sudden change for him to become a supporter of LGBTQ after being against it in season 1 makes no sense are wrong.
I think the biggest reason for his sudden change as that he was the popular kid in school, none of his friends were LGBTQ he thought only the weird kids were.
And now he’s become friends with someone who was unpopular in school, realized how cool she is and how popularity doesn’t mean anything, and now realizing that Robin is gay he’s gonna support it because he cares about her. Sometimes it takes a personal experience for you to be invested in something.
For example someone who came from nothing would be a lot more likely to help the poor than someone who’s always been very rich.
Agree ❤
Her face when she knew she was going to have to break his heart and possibly lose him as a friend omg my heart
I know. Its almost like in that moment she wanted to be attracted to him so that she wouldn't lose him. Because she does love him...just not romantically. That actress is amazing. Her face conveys all those emotions.
She looked like she was having the worst period cramps of her life
She did not care a bit. She just wants him to go on simping..
John Hooper uhh i think not
@@lemon.tree. uhh i think yes
Robin's face when she realizes that Steve turned on Best Friend mode is so pure and beautiful happiness
"Achievement Unlocked: Platonic Lifemate!" Love it!
@packgrog In the words of Jay, “Hetero Life-Mate.”
Such a great moment. You can tell how much Robin loves Steve, but also knows they can't be together, and also is scared of hurting him and coming out at the same moment. Just a raw, beautiful moment. And Steve accepts this, and also comforts her coming out in the most Steve way possible. These 2 are the best part if stranger things
The music in the background the with the kinda hopeful melody kinda symbolizes how all her worry got overrun by relief when he started joking abt it and her laugh is one I can fully identify with. I know that feeling and it is so freaking good. This scene makes me smile so uncontrollably when I watch it
“But Tammy Thompson is a girl”
“Steve?”

Because her Mother is the wonderful Uma Thurman
You can even see the pain in her eyes. That's what I call AMAZING acting 👏🏻
Daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman... Acting is in her genes
Wrong.
This is one of the most heartwarming scenes I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
Love that after revealing their inner thoughts and feelings the music starts to build up when Steve shows that he still wants to be her friend and she naturally follows his lead because they truly are Best Friends.
