Re: Rant about your fandoms, yo!

Yes - well, technically it was run by ex-fans.

After episode 11 where Margot sleeps with Will, a whole bunch of people got really really mad, because Margot is canonically a lesbian (even though her sleeping with Will in this scene did not "turn her straight" or erase her lesbian-ness, and was done for own plot-relevant purposes...)

(I wasn't 100% happy with it, but in the writing room, apparently a lot of the writers were like: "Let's make her straight!" and Fuller was like: "NO she's a lesbian in canon and that's how it stays.")

ANYWAY, you can imagine the shitstorm that ensued on tumblr after the canonical lesbian slept with a dude. A whole bunch of people were like: "WE'RE NEVER WATCHING THIS SHOW AGAIN BRYAN FULLER HAS BETRAYED US!" and promptly started a campaign on twitter to get the show cancelled.

(which is, imho, a huge overreaction, like, i can understand someone quitting the show, or complaining about the writing decisions, all good. but trying to get it cancelled, for everyone else who still watches it? when there are other shows out there that do much, MUCH worse things where representation is concerned? Yeah, nah.)

in response, a whole bunch of fans on tumblr started a #hancelcannibal campaign, posting dumb shit as a joking response to all the negativity, which was pretty much the only good thing to come out of this embarassing mess.

that, and we get a third season.

Alright, I'm not into the show or fandom so I don't understand the situation, but I can understand being upset about a lesbian character sleeping with a guy. I can understand quiting the show and doing all the thithings you said. But campaigning to get the show canceled is ridiculous. I'm konda sad I missed out on the drama though.

Mind spoiling why she slept with Will? I want to know why it was so important/needed for the plot.

Sure, no problem!

So, basically, Margot has this batshit insane serial killer brother called Mason, who has controlled her for most of her life. Their father owned a large business fortune, and Mason (as the male), is set to inherit it all, and Margot will essentially be powerless if he does.

So, her way out of that situation is to have an heir herself. That way her son will inherit the money, it will all go to her. She can't get IVF (because Mason presumably controls the funds.) So, she turns up on Will's doorstep. (She knows Will because she's also a patient of Hannibal's, and they exchange notes on him.)

So, you know. It's not the best writing decision, but it's far better than her magically falling in love with Will and turning straight for him. They're both very broken characters at that point, so it makes sense that she's doing something drastic as an attempt to escape her brother's control. It's confirmed twice in-dialogue that she's a lesbian.

As someone who's bi myself, I found it far less problematic than a lot of other, similar storylines.

Ayrt

That's not as horrible as I thought it would be. I kinda see why she would do that, especially if she thinks it's the only way to better her situation. However, there's no guarantee that she will get pregnant or if she does, that the child would be male. Which makes this even more tragic/fucked up. Is it set on stone that her son would inherit? Does her having a son mean her brotger will be passed over?

Poor Margot. Thank you so much for the spoilers! It kinda makes me want to get into the show just to see how it plays out.
