I could write a preamble for a Playbill of my own and have it say "The animation world is severely lacking in straight white male's voices" and it would somehow hold more weight than anything Viv's said here.
That aside, I can at least understand where Viv is coming from when it comes to making something authentically "her." It's just that when the Hazbin pilot came out 5 years ago, I thought to myself, "Viv, I know you want to make something unapologetically 'you', but if this is what's going to define the next decade of animation, I dunno if 'you' are what the zeitgeist truly needs right now. If your show is a success, everyone's gonna innevitably want to imitate 'you', and eventually I'm gonna see 'you' everywhere. In comment sections, on social media, in nearly every major animated show, in profile pictures, video essays, memes, crossover fanart, possibly even in real life. People are gonna love and respect 'you' and what you made, but at the same time...
I shutter at the mere thought of 'you' taking over the world."
