Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Playing Hannibal comes with so many pitfalls, it would take a miracle worker to play him right, especially in a game.

First, you'd have to do a hell of a lot of reading, both of the canon materials, and outside reading about psychology, serial killer mentalities, recipes (because even if his choice in food is weird, he does know how to cook), research about what his life would have been like during childhood based on WW2 information and Hannibal Rising (a terrible slog in and of itself according to even book fans), etc. There's all kinds of obscure stuff you'd have to know to play him with anything more than just superficial surface traits.

And with the most famous fictional serial killer in pop culture being played, does anyone really think the player wouldn't get infomodded to hell and back, especially by people playing heroes with ~gut feelings~ or just not wanting to get their character eaten?

It's just a hell of a lot of work for pay-off that may just not be worth it to most people. If someone wants to try, though, I wish them all the luck.

Not putting down the kind of work, or discomfort involved with playing this character, anon. I was mostly just in awe that I've seen a ton of Wills on memes these days, but not one Hannibal. Seems the anon below was luckier on that count!

No, I know that, anon. I was just trying to explain why you'd see a ton more Wills around than Hannibals, just by default! The bakerstreet link goes to show just how many more Wills there are to Hannibals, even.
