And Eddie aint no Billy 2.0, for fucks sake, the man spends half of the season on the verge of tears and/or mental breakdown (completely justified ofc). His entire arc is literally that he looks scary and mean, but is actually SOFT, not some cool bad boy-gay icon.
He probably died as a virgin too lol
really truly cannot stand when Steve is painted as a fragile softboi who will crumble at an unkind word.
Steve is a (barely) reformed mean girl. His instinct is still going to be to bite back meaner. We literally see it as recently as season 4 when Dustin is getting too close to the bone, Steve goes too mean. He immediately cops to it and apologizes (because, reforming) but that's still how he's wired.
His skin is thick, his mouth is mean. Steve is a bitch (and I like him so much)
