As for why younger folks are watching Hannibal--well, it's on Netflix now, so no one can stop them. That's not the WHOLE problem, but like. How to put this? I remember being a kid on the Internet back in the 90s. And I remember the older fans in the room acting as mentors showing us how to navigate everything. I also remember my actual parents being utterly terrified of the idea of me so much as talking to anyone online, period.
So there's this divide between our generation being sheltered (well, an attempt was made, but you know what I mean), and the generation behind us being HYPER vigilante and trying to take over, and I don't know how that happened.
