There was some weirdness about Will/Hannibal in Hannibal from some people... due to the age gap. They are both adults, their actors were 38 and 48, respectively, when the series started, and I believe the characters in the series were supposed to be of similar ages. But apparently Hannibal gaslighting Will, Hannibal carrying out other psychological manipulations as Will's psychiatrist and elsewhere, Hannibal killing people (including someone Will cared about in front of him), Hannibal feeding parts of the murdered victims to others in the guise of haute cuisine, Hannibal stabbing Will, Hannibal framing Will for murder, etc. were much less of a problem for these people.

This reminds me of the comments on an Instagram post I found earlier this month. It was one of those Reddit AITA carousel things, and the older partner was not only partying recklessly but was lying about it to the younger partner. In the midst of all that, someone commented that the big problem was the 18 year age gap (older partner being 58, the younger being 40).

DA

I get the impression that the retellings in this thread manage to be a lot more amusing than seeing people express these opinions in apparent seriousness.

If you ever watched Short-Circuit, there's a scene where the robot is trying to follow a recipe, but knows absolutely nothing about how to cook, so he does things like attempt to fry hash browns without taking them out of their box, first, and inspect his pancake batter for lumps, whisk it so hard that batter goes freakin' everywhere, and then proceed to do that again because there are still lumps.

Like ... yeah, if you paid zero attention to WHY something might be bad, and just applied a generic checklist of "possible relationship red flags" to the thing between Will and Hannibal, it might ding the age difference and never think to specify that brutally slaughtering and eating people was not ethical behavior. But hopefully a real, live person would bring a little more judgement and wisdom to their character assessment? Because it's dangerously blind not to.
