Meat Knife

Meat Knife, designated by the slab of meat and knife emojis 🥩🔪, is an ideology that began on Twitter which is similar to the ideology of antishippers (or just "antis")., Twitter. Dec 30, 2020 (Accessed 7/29/2021)Hi! If you're new to the Hannibal fandom, and looking for a bit of a primer on the 🌈🍖 vs 🥩🔪 discourse, Twitter Thread on twtext. (Accessed 4/9/2022) Those who adhere to the meat knife ideologies are referred to as "meat knives." In general, meat knives believe fiction can affect reality in the same way that antishippers do, but may or may not call themselves antishippers. The term meat knife began in the 2020 Hannibal fandom of Twitter as a counter-movement to the rainbow meaties, who believe fiction doesn't affect reality.
==History==
It's currently unknown who began the meat knife countermovement, though the opposing rainbow meat movement's beginnings have been clearly documented. According to a meta piece by partiallyvoidmostlystars in Oct 2020 Tumblr (see The Hannibal Twitter Takedown of 2020), a Twitter user named callmenephila created the rainbow meat movement for the 2019 #JustFuckMeUpFest. But partiallyvoidmostlystars's meta piece is less definitive on who came up with meat knife, instead stating that it was the rainbow meaties themselves who dubbed the anti's as meat knives. Though, they also stated the meat knives were using the emoji sets before they received the "meat knife" designation in writing. And then, according to Twitter user gaymiens, some rainbow meaties have attempted to re-claim the meat knife emojis, meaning some who use the emoji sets may not be actual meat knife antishippers., Dec 30, 2020 (Accessed 7/29/2021)
==Beliefs==
Meat knives are akin to antishippers, with art of certain dark, edgy, or "problematic" content being in distaste to them. While rainbow meaties approve of and support the creation of art that may even include non-con, zoophilia, and minor/adult ships (see Minors in Fandom and Underage) content, meat knives do not. However, because meat knives are specific to the Hannibal fandom, the themes that they tolerate may be wider in range than some of the antishipper beliefs others may consider extreme. For example, Hannibal includes cannibalism, emotional manipulation, violent gore, and murder as main themes. Meat knives, who would be fans of the show, thus at least tolerate these dark "problematic" themes as literary plots, though they would not approve or support such things in the real world.

==Some Facts About the 1982 Convention==
*The theme that year was: "MediaWest*Con 2: Raiders of the Midwest" (a play on Raiders of the Lost Ark)
* "Artists. note that Thomas M. Truty, Official Conventlon Videotaping Archivist, will be roaming the Art Show and other areas of the con, recording items for posterity. If you have a violent disinclination to have any of your art show up on tape, let us know when you check into the show." from the program book 
* "We are in agreement with fanzine editors who protest the practice of selling 'zines at conventions out of somebody's purse, or room, rather than from a table. Surely the cost isn't so high that you can't afford to find someone to share a table with? Selling your 'zines without the table as the selling location cheats those editors who participate in the dealers' rooms, and is frowned upon. While we won't go so far this year as to say such activity should be banned, and the penalty should be expulsion from the con, be warned that at least some editors do feel this way." from the program book 
 
* Gordon Carleton showed Supraman, the slide show with "live voices"
*MediaWest*Con showed the Star Trek Wrath of Khan trailer. According to the program book, this showing was scheduled on Sunday, but by popular demand, it was shown Friday, the first day of the convention. The projectionist ran it both forwards and backwards, to get the full effect. Some fans saw trailer two other times during the convention.Joan Marie Verba, Boldly Writing page 59.
* This was the first year for the Fanzine Reading Room.
* The cost was $30 until December, #35 thereafter "until limits are reached."
==Concom==
* Co-Chairs: Paula Smith, Gordon Carleton, Lori Chapek-Carleton
* Official Photographer: Bill Dyer
* Security: David Manship
* Registration: Tom Truty and Jackie Paciello
* Art Show Staff: Barb Mooney, Kris Trimble, Phil Foglio

==Fan Q Awards==
For specifics, see 1982 Fan Q Awards.
==Skit==
The con plays were "Hilton Street Blues," and "Gumbies of the Lost Ark."
==Masquerade Awards==
==Art Show Awards==
Art show winners were selected by popular vote.
One sign that this convention had already become a go-to for fans was a letter in Rogue's Gallery #4 (January 1982): 
==Programming==
Some panels: "Darkover Easey," "Hill Street Blues," "What Makes Nasty Tasty: Villains," "ST: The Wrath of Khan, Must Spock Die?", "SW--Son of Revenge Strikes Back," Chemistry of a Fandom," "Courtesy in LoCs," "Doctor Who Role Players," Medical Forensics," "Mundane Rights and Legalities," "Mixing Fandoms: Is One Enough?

==Proposal==
From the con's Facebook page, posted June 14, 2019: 
==Cancellation==
This con was originally canceled completely in early February.
On February 4, 2020, Gordon Carleton and Lori Chapek-Carleton posted that, despite their best efforts, the 2020 con (the 40th) would not occur, and that MediaWest*Con would not continue in its original format. They cited "the graying of fandom, dwindling interest in fanzine culture, technology that makes face-to-face meetings seem superfluous, ever increasing travel expense and inconvenience, and SF/Media going mainstream" among the reasons.
==COVID-19 Pandemic Proposal==
On May 16, 2020, less than a week before it's originally scheduled date, a virtual con was pitched. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Media Cannibals/Tape1

Tape 1 covered the earliest years of the cannibals' vid collaboration, 1993-1994, and was sold for $10 a tape; Sandy did the duplication herself either when an order came in, or in batches if we were going to a con. Many of the vids on it were also on the Revelcon and Escapade tapes for that year, and we noted that in our announcement.
==Contents==
The tape contained:
Vid 	Fandom 	Genre

You're My Best Friend 	The Professionals	Bodie/Doyle
Lives in the Balance 	Wiseguy 	Roger character study
Something to Talk About 	The Professionals	Bodie/Doyle

Rescue Me 	Multimedia 	Garbage can vid
Tried to be True (What Separates Me From You)	Wiseguy 	Vinnie/Roger character study
Sandy Herrold posted an amusing story about the creation of the vid "I'm Gonna Be (500) Miles" to the Virgule-L mailing list after the vid premiered at the 1993 ZCon vid show:
== Historical Perspectives on the Vids ==
When Sweetest Perfection played at Escapade, a strong slash convention, there was a lot of muttering in the audience as the vid itself is obviously het. The muttering rose in volume until one of the audience members piercingly whispered, "They're brother and sister!" At that point, the audience quieted down with an 'Ah, kink' acceptance. Sweetest Perfection may have been the first intentional incest vid shown at a con.
15 years later, True Believer is still considered to be one of the best slash Blake's 7 vids ever created.
While working on the vid "Rescue Me", Rachael Sabotini coined the term garbage can vid to describe it: a vid using clips from a wide array of media sources--TV, movies and commercials--not all of them fannish in nature.

Media Cannibals/Tape3

Tape 3: Partners in Crime was probably the most popular of the Media Cannibals vid collections, covering 1997/1998. 
The initial runs of the tape were copied manually; later, when Tape 5 was sent to the duplicating house, tape 3 and tape 4 were sent as well for smaller print runs.

Media Cannibals/Tape4

By Tape 4: Preaching to the Converted, The Cannibals were not only getting their tape duplication done at a standard production facility, but they were also purchasing hard-sided cases and generating cover art for the tapes, giving the collection a real 'album' feel. Tape 4 ran out early in its existence as the group didn't expect such a run on obtaining it; it was reissued a couple of times and almost always sold out, and is currently completely out of print. The vids on it were produced in 1998/1999.
Looking back, this tape clearly marks the beginning of the end for the collective. By this time, Guilty Pleasures had been sold, and the group used that money to buy a second editing VCR--but rather than wait for the traveling VCR to come their way, by then, some of the members had purchased their own VCRs. Vid productivity was amazing, and this collection represents only one year of output, rather than two years, like previous tape collections. However, in looking at the vidders list, it's clear that while productivity increased, collaboration decreased, and the group simply wasn't gathering together all that often to vid.
