Screencap that. You never know when she'll delete.

It's strikes me as hilarious how she would willingly blow up and spergout over something like this. This could have just been an L for Verbalese, but OF COURSE Viv has to make everything about her and ends up digging herself into a hole. All she had to do was shut the fuck up, have a cringe and a giggle, and go about her day. Nope, gotta fulfill that urge to get into a slap fight with social media over absolutely fucking menial things.

If I were in her shoes, I would have just laughed and felt extreme secondhand embarrassment for Verbalese. Maybe even make a reference to it in one of the episodes or even in Helluva Boss. There's a really funny bit in here she could have done with Millie and Moxie in a baseball cap, but she blew it.

EDIT: I am a retard, the slapfights and Verbalese thing aren't correlated, but the other points still stand.

Not sure where you're getting that she's sperging out over the animation. The only time she acknowledged the animation was in a single tweet.

THIS is what people are flaming her over. The leak of Angel Dust's rape being shown in his musical number.
 
This latest case of Viv getting the leopard treatment is particularly funny to me because I'm pretty sure that rapey/abusive shipping is a standard fetish among fujos. Consider, for example, one of the most popular fanfic pairings of all time: Cloud & Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. Now Sephiroth isn't actually Cloud's rapist, but it's a similar relation when Sephiroth is the perpetrator of Cloud's severe trauma, a major part of the game's entire story. And girls absolutely salivate over pairing the two together. BL stories by women for women are also commonly built around the "uke" (bottom) and "seme" (top) character archetypes, and from what I understand, it's not uncommon for the seme to be inappropriately aggressive and domineering.

This has roots in the broader female fantasy for "bad boys", exemplified by popular novel series Twilight and Fifty Shades. In otome visual novels (female MC with boy harem), the abusive guy is even an archetypal romance option.

I suspect it more likely than not the Twitter person doing the callout, an apparent fan of Viv's work, is fully aware of this and has even partaken in the same fetish herself, only wielding this as a weapon now because she wants to stick it to Viv for whatever reason. Or it might just be this internet nobody making an attempt to power trip over an internet celebrity. I'm also certain that Viv knows full well about this stuff women are into, but it appears that she feels powerless to explain as much (either because of her progressive social circles or her professional relation with major media companies), instead resorting to this whole song and dance about "SA survivors".

Now initially I was confused about why this Raphielle guy (as the callout thread suggests) would be into shipping Angel and Val to begin with, but I quick glance at this person's TikTok has me figure that this is actually a pooner. So yeah, still the same female interests.

The milk is rich with this one. It's just the fact that she feels the need to defend her honor online and argue with people over nothing that she'll pop a blood vessel over. I think that is lolcow worthy in itself. She's said it herself that she'll fight back because she's different and not like other creators. I'll love to see her try.

i feel like this is just showing some of his porn shoots since its playing on the screen behind him. Maybe its CNC BDSM. Who knows.

either way, she’s really fucking dumb engaging in pointless slap fights. She has a huge HH fanbase, sells a lot of merch, and two seasons set for a show. She shouldn’t give a fuck about twitter teenagers.
 
Right on the head of a nail. It's clear as day that Vivziepop and her primary fanbase she's catering to are fujoshis and fanfiction lovers. Male on male rape is an extremely common trope in that genre.

I'm roughly Vivziepop age and I used to be into that shit when I was a teenager. But here's the thing, IT WAS TABOO. And we knew it. You had to search the seediest areas of the web to find it. You did not bring up your interest unless you were with like-minded people.

Her fujoshis fans can't come to her defense because it is fetishing mlm sexual assault. What are they going say " Leave Vivziepop alone, I think it's hot too." Not in this social climate.

Vivziepop really needs to get off Twitter. I suspect that there is a bit of narcissism going on. She won't get her supply without it.
 
Viv should just tell these people to eat marbles until something that shouldn't gives way. She should also stop being a sperg on twitter, because more than telling anyone outside her company to suck on a wallsocket, she should actually just shut up, if she were to do the smart thing. Also she's fat and I would not have sex with her spider transvestite.

I think the odds are in my favor that anyone who cares about the pins and rape fantasies is a Paggot Fooner who probably uses Porn Hub and other things that hurt real people and not cartoon devils, and probably doesn't have very much room to talk in between their porn-sick goon seshes of Beauty and the Beast Teapot sadism or w/e it is troony poons get their mal-wrought rocks off too. Further a screenshot isn't proof someone is, or isn't, an S.A. victim. If you can't archive it properly then perhaps you've not got the I.Q. to be making the claim at all.

Finally, amazon or cartoon network or whoever this show was bought by should have picked their investments better, because this will consistently and ferociously blow up in their face and make no money. (Watch me get proven wrong and everyone involved make a literal million, rather than a Rackets Million ™️, causing me to go live under a Perth bridge in shame and ignominy.)

I've noticed this as of late. In Baldur's Gate 3 the most popular romance for women is Astarion who just reads like fujo bait. He is a manipulative, sarcastic, homoerotic, effeminate vampire spawn that was abused physically, mentally and, it is implied, sexually by his vampire lord master. In his worst ending, if you have Astarion become a vampire lord and you romanced him, he turns you into his spawn and basically makes you into his sex slave. Fujos creamed themselves over this romance. They love the abusive power dynamics of these relationships. However, many of them, like Viv, are ashamed to admit this as they are self-professed progressives and for people to learn that they like unprogressive things like fetishizing rape, sexual abuse and toxic men will damage their image as image is everything to these people.

Holy shit Astarion is such a good example of this. Abusive twink who is also an abuser is popular with women, case in point Twilight. Edward is a brooding pretty boy who is emotionally and maybe physically abusive to Bella. The only way they could make Jacob our chad chud thundercock werewolf not to be the better option of the two was to do the imprint thing. Edward was such a shit that the only way to make Jacob seem worse was to have be an "imprinter".
Back to the topic at hand, I don't know how women can lust after abusers then cry about every little thing being abuse. I've only learned about the creator of this show through the beatboxer drama has she always been a sped? She has that sweet Amazon Prime exclusive money they usually save that for Seth Rogan. She should know better than to be getting ratioed on Twitter.
 
Nigga he's LUCIFER. Everyone in hell knows who he is and what he's capable. Also, he's the SIN OF PRIDE INCARNATE. It makes no logical or personal sense for Lucifer to portray himself weaker on purpose.

I mean, if the man is short let him be short you dont have to cope by pretending he's "hiding his powerlevel".
what is a better representation of the sin of pride than the napoleon complex?
though knowing this project im sure vizie just wanted a short character to fit the ranks and it ended up being fucking Lucifer Morningstar.
 
It really is crazy how much of Angel's relationship with Valentino is obvious fujoshit. Like, this is extremely blatant tumblr sexyman-esque fetish bait at this point - I don't know how her excuses are fooling anybody. I guess (since it's a professionally-backed production and all that) Viv feels inclined to justify her artistic fantasies decisions by claiming that ackshually it's mature and symbolic imagery of how some SA survivors cope with trauma and the scenes are just showing the unpleasant reality of sexual violence, but to anybody with a functioning pair of eyes this is clearly not the case. Also, isn't her sister series Helluva Boss full of this kind of shit, without the "it's just his hypersexuality acting up" excuse? She cannot tell a story without the inclusion of BDSM rapey homosex to save her life.

This doubling-down by Viv also reeks of narcissistic injury. These are, after all, her OCs (I faintly recall some interview where it was mentioned that some of these characters, such as Alastor, have been in her head since she was 10). She does not see them as characters created for a professional animated series in order to tell a mature or in any way compelling narrative. Any criticism of her precious uwu babies is inadvertently an attack on her personhood - her meltdowns are indicative of this. Her entire oeuvre might as well be her banging eye-searing besuited dolls together to the tune of contrived musical numbers. Hazbin Hotel is a show created for Viv and Viv alone.

I hope she never gets a social media manager - the milk must flow.

Also holy fuck these character designs are ugly. As a rule of thumb, characters made for animation should have simple designs - the easier to animate, the better. Many of these characters have completely unnecessary details - Husk's wings and facial markings being one example, the pinstripes on many characters' suits being another. There is a marked lack of contrast in color, shape, and facial features. I could not tell you anything about most of these characters based on appearance alone. These are "nothing" designs.

Vox, despite being one of the more inoffensive designs, still irritates me a lot. Who thought it would be a good idea to give him those same face-y shark teeth? If he is from the 50s, why is screen so flat? Does she not get that the aesthetic appeal of TV heads is usually their lack of a face (Robot Kingdom from Saga my beloved)? What is with all this unnecessary visual detail? My art professor would beat my ass if I showed up to class with a character lineup like this.

Her; "Rape survivors use rape and violence as a means to cope about their trauma", reminds me of Pantsu and her justifying her lolicon fetish as a means to cope with her sexual abuse. It is bullshit and just a means to try to justify their fetish. As someone who has spoken to many women who were victims of sexual abuse and rape I've never heard of any of them fetishizing their abuse and developing a rape fetish. Now I hate Viv when before I was indifferent to her.

As for her character designs I hope I can shed some light on them as someone who is studying Early Childhood Art Education. I've noticed that these kind of colors and designs are very popular with people who suffer from autism. Children with autism have a hard time contrasting colors and shapes and make their art loud, complicated and sharp. They like to use bright colors and sharp shapes that pop instead of softer colors or smoother shapes. Has Viv talked about suffering from autism in her childhood. I'm not trying to be mean, but her designs really feel like they were made by someone who has autism.

I just don't understand the appeal of the show, I tried to initially give it the benefit of the doubt as an independent, but now, its a fucking Amazin production and it looks the same, has the same shitty designs, and the same shitty writing.

I do sorta hope that this music video ends up being Hazbin Hotels greatest legacy because frankly it's probably gonna be the most interesting thing to come out of the show, atleast for me. Beelzebub as someone's shitty furry OC and the most repetitive designs I've seen in a while isn't a show I think deserves the dignity of existing let alone having this much attention.

Remove attachment because someone else had posted it.
It's less about the shows quality that gave it it's fame/infamy. It's more to do that it was the first time a indy animation studio managed to blow up in the mainstream so hard, giving it the status of the brave underdog that opposes the big bad corporations.

Its actually weirdly enough just a standard progression of a fetish happening here. One being broadcast to an audience who will inevitably have an issue when the line is crossed.

Viv has some badboy fetish with homoerotic shit, implied rape, etc. mixed in. Courts an audience of teenage girls who have a similar interest, but due to Viv being older, and thus playing with the idea much longer, is no longer pleased by the implied aspect. Which, given the audience, would lead to them being pissed the line was crossed.

Given its all a show about deviant art level OC's, its all retarded, but it's not like this outcome wasn't expected, as least with the vast audience Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel have courted, thus opening them to people interested in the subject but not exactly ok with the line being crossed.
