There’s been some total idiocy going around about dear Bryan in the tag lately. I’ve blocked the perpetrator of course, and encourage you to do the same.

As a 41 year old Sociology Professor, who specializes in media, culture, and politics, I can unequivocally state that he’s one of the most pro-feminist men in television since ever. Not just because he’s gender-swapped some of the characters in Hannibal, but there’s numerous other reasons. Essays have been written about how the show inverts the male gaze more thoroughly than I can detail here, and I encourage you to find and read them if you have not.

I’ve actually met him, and he’s just as sweet as you’d imagine. I love him because he’s so great to the fans, and because he has dared to put things on TV that are challenging, unique, and unconventionally beautiful. He reminds me of Vincent Price – cheerfully morbid! He’s never had a bad thing to say about how fans engage with his work. How many other producers have trashed fanworks?

What do YOU love about Bryan Fuller? Let’s put some positive vibes in the tag!

Do people not realise NBC could very well be whipping the use of the terms “heterosexual” and “homoeroticism” when it comes to interviews?

Do people not think that could explain the total lack of consistency? Think about Empire, then think about Esquire. Think about the target market of those two magazines and how they’re written.

We all know what Bryan thinks, we all know what is an honest answer to that question. We all know what he also can’t say his honest answer because some people in his world literally won’t watch the show If they hear the two male characters might have a degree of something more than friends between one another.

You know the show. The shows stand alone stance is OBVIOUS. But Bryan can’t say what that stance is because there are people in this world who are arseholes. And unfortunately, the show needs to appeal to them too.

Have a degree more intelligence than we’re being prescribed by the bullshit PR. Please for the love of all that is holy stop arguing about it.
