I'm sorry this happened to you, but at the same time I don't think you should feel too bad. I'm unfamiliar with the content you're talking about, but the fact you sent in a mention, were actually heard, and were even offered a proposal is incredibly impressive!
Not hearing back on a job offer isn't that uncommon though, especially since your interaction was so casual. It doesn't take away the hurt, not at all, especially since HBO made famous a thing you essentially had proposed. That absolutely sucks.

Still, I don't think you owe them your silence either. I'm sure I'm missing some context, but they never profited off your idea, I assume? My guess is that whoever fielded the emails saw potential in yours and sent it up the ranks. It got high enough to offer potential work, but perhaps because they heard of HBO's fancam they either nixed it, or the people who dealt with the money required the offer to go through official means that bureaucracy took you out of, or more likely decided against it. Regardless, you should never consider yourself ghosted, this shit happens a lot. And I think it would do you well to talk about this with your fandom friends.
