it's fun to joke about will becoming a villain, but it's very confusing to me that there are people who genuinely believe that's a thing that might happen (and would even want it to!) since:
1) one of the two gay characters being a villain would be far worse than him being sad over unrequited feelings. not to mention how awful the part of the audience that already hates him for no reason would get once they feel validated in their contempt.
2) he deserves to have a moment where he stands up for himself (or someone else), and i would hate to see that villainised. it'd be such an important step for his character, and he deserves it to be framed as something positive!
3) if henry tried to manipulate will into joining his side by pointing out all the similarities they share, but will refused (highlighting how different they are when it actually matters) that would make for a much better story, a much stronger message, and would make much more sense for will's character.
4) unless he was being controlled again, will just wouldn't do that. he's loving and selfless and he'd never hurt his friends or family (or fight his sister) out of his own choice. which is not to say that he isn't allowed to feel hurt and hopefully even talk about how upset he is but.. not in some villainous monologue.
writing a fic or joking about it is one thing, but in reality making will a villain would be even more unfair to him than being sidelined. meanwhile having him play an important role in defeating vecna would be super interesting, and would actually make sense!
