     Further, Stiles’ sarcastic agreement when Brunksi tells him that they’d be having this same conversation if he were dating Lydia, the band’s female drummer, is a further reiteration of this critique, directly referencing Teen Wolf’s support of the heterosexual Stiles/Lydia (Stydia) ship in contrast to its rejection of Sterek.
