The Hellfire Club shirt has become a staple for fans of Stranger Things, and now it can also represent our feelings on the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade. There have been a great many things to come out of Stranger Things 4, including a song that will dig itself into your brain and never release you, but it also gave us a lot of Eddie Munson (played by Joseph Quinn) and the Hellfire Club. In the context of the show, the Hellfire Club is a group of kids who play Dungeons & Dragons together, and Eddie is their Dungeon master.
All of that leads us to the pro-choice version of the Hellfire Club shirt. I was just scrolling through my Stranger Things filled “For You” page on TikTok when I saw someone making their own Hellfire shirt, and the “pro-choice” tag really captured my attention. I looked at it and quickly realized that they’d changed the devil imagery on the Hellfire logo to be a uterus flipping everyone off (for the horns, obviously) and, to my delight, discovered that the shirt was created to raise money for pro-choice groups.
Brenna Saturday on TikTok released the shirts to be purchased (so yes, I already ordered a crop top version of this), and they’re a beautiful way of celebrating your love of Stranger Things while also telling the world that the Supreme Court can get stuck in the Upside Down.
“Vecna and his anti-choice minions can’t stop us from organizing to protect women’s rights!”
You can buy the shirt here, and the creator says that a portion of the proceeds will go to pro-choice groups.
