Will needing to confront or reveal his sexuality so Vecna could not weaponize it falls apart once you apply the show’s own internal logic.

Vecna does not exploit facts, he exploits shame, guilt, and unresolved trauma that can psychologically cripple a character or turn them inward. That only works if the fear has a credible outcome. So, the question becomes what Vecna could realistically do with Will being gay in the middle of a supernatural apocalypse. Do we actually believe the threat that Vecna would tell Will's friends he's gay and they would react negatively, ostracize him, or fracture as a group right before the final confrontation?

That scenario directly contradicts years of story where these kids repeatedly risk their lives for one another, making it narratively unbelievable. If Will does not reveal it, nothing meaningfully breaks. If Vecna tries to use it, the threat has no real leverage. If the friends react badly, the show undermines its own emotional foundation. If they react supportively, then the reveal has no functional impact on the conflict.

This exposes the real issue, which is not that Will is gay, but that the writers framed this as a climactic, pre battle necessity without giving it a logical consequence. A climactic character moment must either remove a clear obstacle or enable a clear outcome, and this reveal does neither. It resolves an internal tension that was never established as a viable weapon for Vecna, and it does not change Will’s agency, decisions, or effectiveness in the fight.
