There's a fascinating (horrible) phenomenon going on the Hannibal fandom right now since it re-aired on Netflix and brought in a lot of teens/early-20s, where a lot of the younger people's idea of a good time is calling older fans "hags" and accusing them of "pedophilia" and writing "degenerate" fics.

For a show about a sexy middle-aged serial killer/cannibal and his corrupted middle-aged therapy-client boyfriend. With no child characters at all.

It's awesome to get new fans who are genuinely enthusiastic about the fandom, but if that "enthusiasm" takes the form of trying to take over, shame older fans for being older, and "cleaning up" "problematic content" (even in a fandom for a MA-rated show) than nah, no thanks, I'll gatekeep the fuck out of that.

i'm never going to get over the notion that in the relationship between a murdering cannibal and his emotional gaslit victim, it's the age gap that's problematic.

Or that it's somehow "weird" and "creepy" for 30+ fans to stan a couple of Gen X DILFs but NOT weird for teenagers to do so.
