• They introduced a gay character to use as a plot device, made him suffer both physically and emotionally throughout the series, and never allowed him any happiness.

• They sidelined him in favor of other characters, including new ones – even in the final season, which, in their own words, was centered on Will.

• They made him fall deeply in love with their self-insert, who constantly gave him mixed signals, giving this relationship significant narrative weight with no real payoff.

• They portrayed him as craving romantic love more than any other character, yet never gave him the chance to actually experience it – not even with his hypothetical epilogue date.

• Ultimately, they tried to manipulate the audience into believing that his arc had been about (self-)acceptance all along, even though it contradicted everything shown in the series.

I just know Chance's mother will be fretting over Will and urge him to eat more (he already ate twice as much as he usually does, but she doesn't seem to think it's enough and gives him another portion), while Chance is just smiling fondly next to Will, relieved to see his boyfriend being accepted by his parents, happy to see that Will is gaining a healthy weight after being on survival mode for most of his life and only eating the bare minimum.
