[fandomentalists/hannibal] this is just a dumb and silly thing, fortunately, but,

every now and then i think about when hannibal antis tried to get bryan fuller to publicly denounce proshippers

but because he’s like 50 they had to explain to him what it meant and he said “what. that’s just a normal person” and then he bought a mug that says “proshipper” on it

like this is a man that made an ENTIRE series about an unhealthy romance and you thought he was going to support that?

fundamentalists are not only hypocrites, but also idiots.

BLESS HIM

me @ hannibal, utena, and pswg anti's: I would laugh at y'all for being hypocrites but like... are y'all okay? did you watch the same series I did?

it's almost like it was never a content thing to begin with, it's about power over people like you.

He’s 50? I don’t go here but man somehow I thought he was younger

Also seriously wtf antis, I didn’t even watch the show and I could still read that room

I also am not susprised they decided to be friendly with a weathly white cismale show runner that wrote a problematic ship. Bc if Fuller was anything else, they would've swatted him and you know it.

oh yeah. but after that incident, iirc, the started calling him a pedophile

totally fine things to call a gay man that have no baggage

of course they did

/adds to the list of traits fandomentalists got that are pretty much the same as their full blown christian fundie cousins.

yep. I think this came out of him liking some fan art of a hannigram blowjob? and antis were like "it's so creepy that you're liking fan art of people you know irl"

though these might also be two separate incidents that took place further apart. I wasn't in the fandom at the time. i just remember it crossing my timeline

By anti logic, as far as I can tell, everyone is a pedo because we were all kids once

It is horrifying tbh

he's not the only one this has happened to either, David Gaider, who was a lead writer for Dragon Age and has been openly gay in video game circles for over a decade, got called a pedophile and other slurs after watching seasons 1-7 of Voltron and expressing interest in Shiro and Keith kissing

of course they did

these people are not fucking normal about tropes or ships they dislike and don't believe them when they say they are. normal people don't call others pedophiles over liking fictional couple or writing a thing that isn't real. like it's generally hard for them to get.

it probably wont help but maybe calling antis the homophobic right wingers they are might get someones attention as to how disgusting they are

hearing about them with those two openly gay people is just. god

most anti's I know are some form of american, which you know... fits. their mindset is very cultural american protestant evangelical christian. and a lot of them refuse to admit it or/and don't know it.

Gaider's response to the harassment was honestly mildly hilarious in a dark way to me, but entirely expected, this dude was writing explicitly queer characters in video games all the way back in 09 at least, he's heard it all, and he mocked them

and he's still mocking them, actually
David Gaider on Twitter

good for him. like these people need to be mocked at every opportunity.
