Stranger Things Fans Traumatised By Descriptive Captions On Netflix

Fans of Stranger Things have been left gobsmacked by Netflix's generated captions for the series.

Had someone suggested putting on the subtitles, I may have agreed, thinking they might have helped to take the edge off the jump scares and eerie tick-tocking which has infiltrated my nightmares.

They said: "Watching stranger things 4 with captions means subjecting yourself to phrases like 'tentacles undulating moistly' and 'gate pulses wetly' and yes captions help my auditory processing but at what cost."

Despite their initial horror at just how descriptive - and weirdly sexual - the captions to the series are, they praised the caption writers for, ultimately, doing a very effective job.

"It's kinda awesome that so many of us had legit visceral reactions to these captions/that they added to the sensory experience of watching the show. that's gotta mean whoever's writing them is doing their job correctly, right?"

Other users have called for whoever writes the captions to be given a 'significant raise', and one even called for the writer(s) to receive 'an academy award'.

"Whoever writes the Stranger Things captions is my favorite human. The music descriptions are things like 'delicate disturbing music', 'ominous audio distortion', and 'dire synth music playing'," a third said.

Who knew you could have so many different intricate variations of synth sound too?

If you were looking to expand your vocabulary then watching Stranger Things with the captions on is certainly the way to do it.

One user resolved: "Love watching Stranger Things with the captions on! 'Eldritch Thrumming' and 'Discomforting Slithering' are my new favorite adjective phrases."
