Shockingly informative.
Also, Stella did nothing wrong. He should admit that.
But that would mean 90% of his audience throw pitchforks at him. As I previously said, hardly anyone wants to publicly defend Stella. It's not worth it, no matter how bad you'd want to bring it up.
I heard that this was a highly controversial video for the rabid Stolitz shippers. I wonder if they carefully analyzed the video and gave valid counterarguments or if they went full-out tard rage on twitter because someone questioned their "beloved" ship.
Looking at the comments, it's a mix between people mildly letting out their hatred for Stolitz and mostly people doing the worst acts of mental gymnastics because they dare wish to not think about Stolitz not being a fitting relationship at all. They want to believe they'll get together. They know what Sarcastic Chorus brought up in the video brought some merit of truth and they're still looping themselves into a feedback of hoping these "two trouble traumatized gay boys" finally get together after sloppily settling their differences via Viv's writing room.
But I'm glad to know I saw a good number of comments that were calling out how much the show butchered Stolas and how he's not growing, not even a single bit. I just hope Chorus didn't get too flamed for his opinion on an already "touchy" matter for the Stolitz fans.
I think these comment threads says it best.
Watching through it, and it pretty much points out the power imbalance and how Stolas has more power and talks about how toxic he acts. I feel the fans are raging that someone is poking holes in the ship and ironically the video maker used a tweet from Vivzie herself that agrees with the sentiment even if it is half gibberish

People need to understand just because Vivzie brings it up doesn't suddenly dilute everything wrong about Stolas' character. It's not an excuse nor should it be treated as such. Yes, it was shown during the dumb dual-musical segment where he lost it when he realized he was out of his anxiety meds, and it could be an explanation why he was so irrational when it came to confronting Blitzo about the book. But there was no real buildup and all we got was an emotionally unwell rich boy losing it because Blitzo wasn't buying his words. He should know Blitzo by now, no? But again, he knows Blitzo as much as Blitzo knows him. So these two were doomed from the very start with this whole situation. They both suck at handling it because they never took one time to actually talk. Blitzo obviously didn't think about since he knew from the start it was just sexual. Stolas, however, should've began the talking. But he didn't.
He didn't and look where it got him. Blitzo is far from the wrong in this scenario. How was he suppose to know? It's not both on them, it's on Stolas. He's the privileged dude. He should've thought about a way to talk and not wait until someone shakes him violently to remember he has more personalities than just being emotionally dysfunctional and excessively horny.
This makes me miffed, man. Her fans'll just treat everything she says as gospel and add nothing else to it. I don't care if he's in his "own head and fees". Doesn't justify squat for the dumb scene. Vivziepop is gaslighting these people as hard as she can, man. And if we know from the S2:E12 leak, while it's expected Stolas will get some punishment, but why this long? Why this long for him to actually have the "ultimate consequence"? And as usual, he doesn't worry about the consequences until someone slaps him with a metal brick that he'll recover from the next episode or two. He's definitely in his own head, but not in the way Vivzie wants to imagine it.
The last comment makes a point. We shouldn't be all the way in S2:E8 with writing and characters
this abhorrent and backwards. Don't want your show relentlessly criticized? Then you shouldn't have retconned the mess out of season two and made things flow better. They had lots of time "to cook" and they burnt the entire building and the microbes. They burnt the old Stolas and we all have is one with no real direction and development.
