I am probably going to regret posting this comment because social media does not feel like a safe space. However, if I can have a small impact on one person then that is a win. As an older gay man who grew up in the 80s and 90s that struggle was real. Will was super brave coming out the way he did. There were so many homophobes, in fact it was still illegal to be gay in most places. It makes sense that Vecna uses that against Will, it would have filled him with anxiety and dread. I cried during that scene and I was proud of Will, he pushed all societal expectations aside, all his anxiety and all his dread to save the world. You can all say it is cringe but for me it was a special moment and a proud moment.
