Agamemnon: I didn't want to fight with Achilles, I just wanted to tell him to fuck off
I've seen a few people over my time on here say that Steve accepting Robin being a lesbian is out of character and I really don't think it is. In the 80s, especially a small town like Hawkins there would probably not be any out lgbt people hanging around. Definitely not at a high school so Steve's entire perspective is from media, what his friends and family think and just the general opinion of the time that gay = bad/wrong.
But here's the thing, Robin is Steve's best and only friend his age. She's someone he thinks he has romantic feelings for but really he just isn't used to female attention that doesn't imply romance. She's someone he has been hanging around with for weeks almost every day and knows pretty well. So, when she finally comes out to Steve and he says Oh...
It's because his entire perspective of lgbt or at least gays and lesbians has been completely shifted. Everything he's ever been told about being gay just isn't what he's experienced with Robin. When he's sitting their thinking, he's thinking of how being gay can't be wrong because Robin is awesome and the best friend he's ever had.
He cares a hell of a lot about Robin and she's pulled him through four days of world ending shit so him accepting her right there and then isn't out of character. Steve has seen multidimensional monsters, been interrogated and drugged by Russians and his only friend is sitting right there telling him that she actually likes girls.
His reaction to joke around and make Robin feel comfortable and at ease is the most in character thing Steve could do. You can tell Joe and Maya created that scene because it works so god damn well.
Some people need a personal experience to understand another group of people, or an attachment to someone from a group they may not understand so that they can, and that is 100% okay. Steve just needed someone to metaphorically slap him across the face and change his view of gay people.

All the cute nicknames Victor Frankenstein called his son throughout the book:
catastrophe
miserable monster
demoniacal corpse to which I have so miserably given life

a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived,
the filthy daemon to whom I have given life
no human
the wretch whom I had created
sight tremendous and abhorred
unearthly ugly being
too horrible for human eyes
miserable head
vile insect
abhorred monster
wretched devil
you, whose joint wickedness might desolate the world
too horrible for human eyes to behold
the filthy mass that moved and talked
wretch whom I dreaded
villain
monster of my creation
fiend
figure most hideous and abhorred
+ bonus - all the cute ways captain Robert Walton described Victor’s son on 1 page:
a form which I cannot find words to describe
never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness
tremendous being
scary and unearthly in his ugliness
Tag yourself I’m “the filthy mass that moved and talked”
