The problem is that other media usually makes it clear their villains are fucking villains and/or their stories are not supposed to be realistic. No one is gonna be mad at you for buying an Eric Cartman keychain cause South Park is not meant to be taken seriously.
Vivzie really wants you to believe Angel Dust getting raped is a "#BRAVE realistic depiction of sexual abuse that brings light to sex workers struggles" (and totally not a fetish ok!) but she also wants to portray Valentino as a funny little guy who is reaaaally sexy and gets away with rape because "it's a fictional cartoon so who cares".
I totally agree with that. I think I posted this before, but it would be different if they made other merch of these characters besides "sexy", "lewd", "uwu", "hot" shit. But they don't EVERYONE gets sexualized (besides Octavia but they barely make merch of her because she hates her and she can't market her enough) like again why not make merch of them being other things. Like Stolas just doing Star shit (without Blitz), him in his full demon form, him being summoned by his followers, family photos (that are only on the Patreon for some reason), him with his father, or fuck WHERES THE GUYS MOM some nameless/faceless/nobody Stolas can't even be bothered to talk about.
Same thing with the others
Blitz
Playing with horses at a hellpetting zoo, killing people, going to a ranch with the horseback lessons he maxxed out Verosikas credit card, gambling at a horse race, cooking for Loona, or him holding something that belongs to Barb/family.
Millie
Hunting, killing, hiding bodies, wrestling hell creatures, playing games with her other family or non exist brothers.
Loona
Playing on her phone, playing with friends, hanging out with Tex/Bee, smoking alone, or indulging some hobby. Bitch needs one!
Moxxie
Going to plays, playing his guitar, doing his job, hanging out with kids teaching them cords, (he always seems to be with them so I assume he has some connection to children), him singing for God's godsake.
But no they are just unsexy, uninspired goon merch
