Digital profile portrait of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter. He is shown from the chest up, facing toward the right, against a dark, textured background. A thin, glowing white circular halo frames his head.
Today was meant to be a #Fannibal weekend, so have a #Hannibal to celebrate even if #RDC8 has been postponed <:
I hope you like it 💙

tarfury: Red Dragon 8 Event Postponed We have made the decision to postpone our next Hannibal event, Starfury: Red Dragon 8, to a later date in 2026.
I have been in negotiations for Mads Mikkelsen to attend, but his management could not confirm him for this event until they knew his schedule. Unfortionately, they informed me earlier this week that due to being cast in a film that will be shooting over those dates he would be unable to attend the event.
I decided that it would be better to postpone the event until a time when he would be available, and his management have agreed to update me early in the new year as to when he will be available to attend.
Update on Red Dragon Con for those who don't get the emails:
It's being postponed to try and have Mads Mikkelsen as a guest, no new date yet

If you're sad that Scott Thompson is no longer going to Red Dragon Con, because you value seeing a celebrity more than you care about the harm he poses to marginalised people, please unfollow me and also go stick your hand in a blender 💕

Portrait of Hettienne Park as Beverly Katz from the TV show Hannibal. She is wearing a burgundy puffer jacket and a beige hat. She is facing slightly to the side, laughing, with both hands in her pockets. The background is in dark blue at the top, and a lighter blue at the bottom. A bright white halo surrounds her head.
I know it's still a few months away, but I'm already excited about #RDC8 💙
And well, I love #Bev and it was about time I painted her again <:
I hope you like it 💙

Wristbands for #RDC8 arrived. I've also been painting some charms for charm bracelets. I'm getting excited now. 🤞 that Mads will be a guest?!

Looks like Sean kicked me off of the mailing list, and I am not aware of anyone receiving a reply to their emails regarding concerns about Scott Thompson, but it seems he isn't listed as a guest in a new Starfury email for #RDC8.
I'll be surprised if he addresses it.

So this is how @starfuryevents.bsky.social
decided to respond to me sharing my email in the RDC Facebook group.
I have left the group and will not be attending any future RDC events, which is a serious shame, but I will not be spoken to like this.

Good afternoon, In order to explain my concerns, I would first like to introduce myself. My name is Felix Fern, I am a transgender activist who has collaborated with groups such as Stonewall and Mermaids, I've been cited as an expert in my field in many mainstream media outlets, written for some myself, appeared in several television interviews over topics regarding transgender rights in the UK, and have been celebrated by outlets such as Cosmopolitan for my work. I am also a fannibal. I attended Red Dragon Con 7 this year, and I had a truly wonderful time. Of course, one of the main highlights of that experience was the guests. Although I have not yet booked my ticket for Red Dragon Con 8, I was incredibly excited to learn the current lineup of guests, and last night that excitement turned to dread as I learned what one of the guests, Scott Thompson, posted on social media. It has left me feeling uncomfortable with purchasing a ticket for the event. (There is a screenshot of a tweet made by Scott Thompson that reads, "I stand with Graham Linehan. @Glinner")
This is Scott Thompson posting support for Graham Linehan, a comedy writer who has, in recent years, completely tarnished his reputation due to a disturbing hate campaign against transgender individuals and their rights, and earlier this month, he was arrested for posting hateful social media posts inciting violence towards trans women. I have personally been a victim of harassment and defamation from Linehan, whom I even had to report to the police when his actions made me feel unsafe due to our living in the same city. I have also collaborated with other victims of his, such as actor David Paisley, who had to take Linehan to court for describing him as a "paedophile" for being an ally to the trans community. I won't go into details on Linehan's extremely extensive track record of hateful actions because that information is widely known and readily available, and Scott Thompson is not responsible for Linehan's actions. He is, however, responsible for his own.
The Hannibal fan community is incredibly diverse, as well as having a notably high population of queer people, and that includes a huge amount of transgender fans and trans-friendly allies. There have been several essays and even two versions of a book published on the themes of transition and change in Hannibal that appeal to the trans community. As such, I presently do not feel safe or welcome attending Red Dragon Con 8 as a marginalised person, knowing that one of the guests vocally supports hatred and discrimination towards my community, hatred that I have personally been a victim of. I am concerned for all of the trans attendees, many of whom are also younger than myself and more vulnerable, many of whom will be attending alone. Unless Scott Thompson is willing to publish a public retraction and apology and make it clear that he is not a threat to the trans community, I do not believe that he should be welcome as a guest at Red Dragon Con 8. It pains me to say that, as Jimmy is one of my favourite characters in the show and I was so excited about him being a guest, I am incredibly saddened to be sending this email. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter. Kind regards, Felix F Fern
Today I have emailed Starfury / Sean Harry regarding my concern over a recent social media post made by Red Dragon Con 8 guest, Scott Thompson.
I would urge any other concerned folks to also contact Starfury.

Screenshot of tweets: Scott Thompson: I stand with Graham Linehan. @Glinner Felix: Hi Scott. As you can tell from my profile, I'm a big fan of your work in Hannibal. I'm also transgender. Graham Linehan posted an article insinuating that my friend is a paedophile for wearing a Pokémon shirt. He said that I'm disabled because of taking hormones.

Felix: I am begging you to please reconsider supporting this vile, hateful man. Like this isn't an issue of censorship, it's an issue of inciting violence towards marginalised people which he does on a literal daily basis. Did you know he posts photos of what he claims are underage trans people to strangers? Photos of genital surgery unprompted?
Felix: Otherwise I don't believe that you will be a safe guest to attend Red Dragon Con @starfuryevents because the Hannibal fandom is overwhelmingly queer and trans-friendly and this makes you a legitimate threat towards our wellbeing and that is truly and utterly heartbreaking to me.
I am so fucking disappointed.
