ah, yes, let's ship the dude who is constantly catcalling, flirting and making advances at a dude who keeps telling him to fuck off because he's not interested with... uh, the guy who keeps telling him to fuck off because he's not interested. yeah that sounds about right
I personally think Stoaliz is ruining Helluva Boss. It all started with simple demons going to the humans world to k!ll people, and now it’s just a bad romance. The plot of Helluva Boss is all over the place because it has no plot. There is no goal for the characters to achieve. Characters that need the development (Cough, Millie, Cough) are sidelined always for Blitzø and Stolas’ toxic relationship. Same thing with Huskerdust. They don’t have anything in common besides them selling their souls to Overlords. Husker clearly has interest in Angel and continuously tries to seduce him through the first few episodes (Including the Pilot). The worst part about these ships is that there is always one person in the party that is constantly playing the victim. Helluva Boss has Stolas, who acts like Blitzø is entirely in the wrong while he did nothing. Then Angel Dust acts like his problems are the most important thing in the world, as if nobody else actually understands what he’s going through even though he KNOWS that’s not true. I’m still confused by LGTBQ+ ships can get away with anything, but if it’s a Straight relationship *THEN* do people put their foot down. However, if it’s a Gay relationship that have a toxic relationship it’s fine. Like WTH? P.S. Sorry for the Rant
@@LepocalypseLB i would say that lgbt ships tend to be more toxic and get away with more because its in his "infancy", in a media way. Straight ships at first tend to get away with more in the begining of times because there wasnt a focus in making a good healthy relationship between the characters, just to make them a couple, that´s why many famous straight couples of movies and series from older times were so much more toxic, because it was less discussed and less talk about it(Also, a lot of romantizantion and normalization of things). Now we have a lot more of healthy straights couples because it was discussed and people talked about it. LGBTQ+ ships area more or less in that area, at first people where happy because of LGBTQ+ represetation, and rightfully so! But, the happines for represatation kinda of blinded us from seeing if it was even a good couple in the first place. In many years to come probably there will be more caution in making relationships, straight or queer, healthier(if the goal is to make a good couple that is worth rooting for)
That's what I was hoping for But y'know, you gotta earn money somehow so Vivziepop will try to have stolas become better with Blitz which makes no sense..
@@Jade.the.Government Sadly, they will. I mean, I don't think Viv will risk all she has done to these two just to not get together in the end. I used to like this ship, but the development is horrible.
in the episode “oops,” (I’m paraphrasing) he says that stolas likes his photos, takes time to hang out with him, compliments him, etc. even fizz knows that stolas likes him more than blitzo does 😭 I think blitzo should be able to know by season 2 at least
Im a straight girl, and one of the first red flags i noticed while watching Helluva Boss is that Blitz seems very uncomfortable with Stolas "flirting" with him. I didn't think much until way later into the series.
Straight girl here too. Yeah .stolas continuously flirting even though it makes Blitz uncomfortable is super weird and for some reason Stoliz fans completely forget how he was in S1.
@queenvictoria4237 That was I friend zoned Stolas on Char ai. Stolas is just meant to be single. I told him off and then I couldn't talk to him for days. Stolas is actually in character.
Writing a character like Blitz feels like treading a very fine and sensitive line. I think the idea behind the apparent discomfort is Blitz's fear of intimacy and maybe even resentment of something that he views as mockery. Is it well done? No lol but i can at least see the intention
I absolutely DESPISE it when people think men can't get sexually assaulted too because it happens to women more like it's just really sexist and stupid. 🤦♀️
It happens to both sexies across the board, and I even made it a serious plot point in one of my stories. The trauma lingers with the victim (mineta) and the accused (midnight), even when both try to move on. And no, I don't ship them at all. They each have their own lives and support groups but still can't unsee the incident.
FRRRR OMG ITS SO IRRITATING AND THEN WHEN YOU TELL THEM THEY LIKE "well it happens to women more" or "they deserve it" LIKE WHAT!? they should be treated the same way as when a women get sa. Women and men don't deserve to be hurt in any type of way unless there a bad person that's it
This! Im also hypersexual and have a disorder that worsens that and... Its so easy to only talk about sex to people who want to as well? Its not that hard to mind your buisness and know theres a time and place for things Also have been sa'd by others because they think i "cant help myself but want it". Hypersexual people have self autonomy AND self control ffs
@@alexbennet4195 hypersexuality doesn’t mean that whatsoever, you have an overactive sex drive that causes you to be aroused more often than not, but despite your overactive sexuality, you can still have a conscious that tells you what is or isn’t wrong to say or do in a conversation
@@alexbennet4195 i used “more often than not” without teenagers in mind, because generally anyone can experience this and i disregarded it sure, yes, teenagers go through puberty and allat, but “more often than not” means a persistent issue that occurs almost all throughout your moments of the day, and while at times it can cause issues within your daily life when communicating with people, there is a certain level of control you can maintain for yourself (unfortunately this isnt a thing just every person with hypersexuality can do, and even people who are able to maintain this control can’t do this all the time, otherwise hypersexuality wouldnt be an impulse disorder for them)
@@alexbennet4195 wrong! I don't know where you got that from but most people that I know on a intimate level that are hypersexual can control themselves around others, the problem is that they imagine them in a sexual way then they feel incredibly guilty, or they only think about sexual stuff and can't get it out of their head then if they mister-beast they feel guilty, it comes from sexual trauma like being graped at a young age or being exposed to sexual content at a young age or even being depressed at a young age then using this as a way to cope
I agree and disagree with you I do agree that Viv is a shit writer but Wattpad write specifically with Helluva boss are straight up cringe nothing but endless Overpowered haram OC self inset character
Or Blitzo harassing the M&Ms too. There is also a power imbalance there, as Moxxie has made his ignored boundaries very clear, but since Blitzo is the boss, Moxxie never gets any justice.
@@exoskelepathy I think Blitzø teasing Moxxie can work, but it’s a problem when it becomes sexual. It’s weird how absolutely everything in the show has to be tied to sexual themes.
@@The-Evilinatorthe problem is that it's supposed to be a joke that he's so invasive (like Blitz not paying the bills despite him being the boss). But it doesn't make it look ok either, that's so creepy
Blitz harassing the m&ms also feels like it gets used as either a joke or a serious topic per the writers’ convenience when, you can’t have it both ways.
I will never understand why do people even obsess over toxic "romance" (AHEM AHEM BillFord from gravity Falls and BillDip, god I despise both of them with every fiber of my being)
@ I personally enjoy billford, but not because I think it can work out. I find their dynamic to be interesting, and I think it’s far more enjoyable compared to stolitz, where the abuse is directly praised and romanticized the creators (along with many fans).
@@starthefrakkfangirl6094 im personally fine with toxic relationships in shipping. Not because i want them to work out but because its fun to explore the toxic dynamic which the characters have, how it impacts their relationship, and the situations which can happen as a result of their unhealthiness. In shows/media toxic dynamics can be super interesting to explore too since the viewer will be strung along to see the highs and lows of that relationship and theyll be left to watch and wonder if theyll be able to fix things or not In the case of stolitz however the writers seem to just genuinely be unaware of the fact the relationship is super abusive. Stolitz is advertised as “a couple which has problems” and not “a couple which experiences sexual coercion and abuse”, leading to poor writing and glamorization
I hate how Vivzie tried to write Stolas, a perverted s*x predator taking advantage of a low-class demon, as some misunderstood still-in-the-closet poor rich guy in a dead marriage who just wants to find true love.
But that's the thing ab the helluvaverse! Things don't just stay fannon. If it's popular enough, vivzie writes it into the show, bc according to her all fanservice is good
He literally realises that this is bad and grows from that point. The show is aware and points out it should not be like that. It can definitely be argued that it isn't doing the whole thing properly but please do not ignore how it points out that the action is bad and forces the characters to grow and change.
@swe4831 No he doesn't. He blames Blitzo, shames him, compares him with the person that tried to kill him because they're BOTH IMPS and a big ass etcetera. Stolas is a badly written character that needs a pity party every episode he's in to excuse his behavior.
@@swe4831 i get flashbacks to my narcissist ex-friend every time Stolas is on screen. I have to pause multiple times just to get through the episode 😂 the way Stolas twists shit and always comes out the victim is such narc behavior
I mean, it's kind of shown that she doesn't think that bottoms can be abusive since everytime a woman harasses someone, it's played as a joke, and women are usually considered bottoms.
She is..she was raised in 2010s Tumblr and DeviantArt where there's lots of fujoshis.. "But she is bi" so? There's bi and lesbian fujoshis who do fetishize gay men@@zeelovesu172
@@risforrandomandrandomisme762 wait, are people calling Asmodeus and Fizzarollis relationship boring? Their relationship seems quite healthy and same with Millie and Moxxie
ngl, i feel really mad when people say that AngelDust is hyper sexual so it’s allowed. I had to deal with someone who was like Angel Dust, and treated me like Husk. And in the end, her excuse was always “i’m hyper sexual”. which in my opinion, is no reason to sexually harass anyone. just in general, HuskerDust makes me mad. Also I really luv ur vids ! ❤
People making that excuse are doing such a disservice to all of the hypersexual people who... don't harass other people. Conditions/circumstances are never an excuse or justification for treating people badly.
i really hate when people say that too, as someone who is hypersexual myself. it pisses me off when people use mental illness as a shield against any criticism.
same until now - i myself questioned if it was really okay for them to be that way in my own situation i'm really sorry you had to go through that, i hope you're healing well
@@pos_myra oh my gosh, i’m so sorry that u had to go thru that.. it’s never okay, and it’s good to hear that ur probably out of the situation now! and if u aren’t u can always talk to me! i hope ur doing well now!
i feel as if vivzie doesn't belive that masculine men can be abused, think about it. Angel feminine man, Husk masculine, blitz masculine, Stolaz feminine.
Same idea of "if it was straight, people would hate it" applies to Chaggie. Vaggie is 100% dependant on Charlie, financially, emotionally, in every single way. Vaggie is just "charlie's girlfriend" she has no hobbies, no dreams, no friends, no family, no job, no home, no thoughts outside of her significant other. She doesn't even WANT to get to know anyone but Charlie looking down on everyone else but her girlfriend and the king - her girlriend's dad. Her songs? All about how much she loves Charlie. Her goals? To help Charlie with hers. She's suppose to be "the protector" of Charlei but that idea is LAUGHABLE when Charlie is more powerfull than her both in status / money as a princess of their entire relm but also in raw physical / magical strenght. Vaggie does NOTHING of value in the entire show, even something that could justify her backstory and make her usefull for the characters and plot - the knowledge of the angels weakness - is given TO HER by someone else. Not to mention she's disabled (which is potrayed AWFULLY btw, as a person blind on one eye I can assure you). She was found in the lowest moment of her life by Charlie, love at first sight, total dependency in a split second. Now imagine that everything was the same but Charlie was a guy and Vaggie his girlfriend. People would be RIOTING about how she has no agency, how this dynamic is toxic and limiting female character to an accessory and support for ther loved one. But no, because they are 2 cute girls who always smile at eachother and have 1 argument (caused by the outside forces) that they settle in a no-time it means they are "relationship goals"...
in fact i understand why vaggie didn't tell she was exocist to charlie, if charlie acts badly vaggie would lost everything. plus charlie isn't a great girlfriend she always dismis real concerns from vaggie, plus charlie is nice but not kind andf pretty egocentric. So deep down vaggie knows chasrlie doesn't have her back
@@Sifya Youp and Vaggie has absolutelly nothing to offer to Charlie. Like not that she's "worthless" but there is nothing unique about her that Charlie doesn't get from other people (like the whole "protecting" thing) so that fear was understandable. But Vaggie is SUCH A PILE OF WASTED POTENTIAL with her backstory and who she is suppose to be now... but the entire hellaverse's pitch bible should be titled "wasted potential" or "Good ideas with shity execution!".
@@audreyharris7643 "someone who is limited in outlook or concern to his or her own activities or needs " Charlie is terrible friend and princess who doesn't think conseguences and always looking her needs. Seeing how she acts with angel, she put him aside for new toy(sir pent) and when she helped angel make worst because she acts like she 5. Who come to work place without appointament? disturbing work place? Hasn't she really talked with angel or residences? I mean if residences trust each other is just war simalotor of vaggie. Plus her behavior in embassy she wasn't prapared and she tries to push for project she doesn't have prove. I mean charlie looks better because she put near worst people so she shine. For example if adam was reasonable figure and don't act like idiot he wouldn't listen her because she give lame presentation without prove, plus her project itself cannot work if she don't ally with heaven, which she declares war and if heaven is such horrible place it mean sir pent is going to die/prisoner. Charlie wants everyone follower blindly her without showing true leadeship and true care. Like in fic i read a character told her she cared about sinner like they are cute duck in park. She is completely egocetric with vaggie, yes she is exocist and it is nice she hides, but vaggie was afraind because she is angel in hell without power. I don't mean charlie doesn't want to help, but i see her goodness and project a way to be a hero like her parents because she felt nothing near to her
Comparing queer relationships to straight ones to know what is right and wrong is homophobic in itself because it implies queer ppl are too stupid to know right from wrong unless the straights theach them with the "proper" relationship. Queer relationships can be just as toxic as straight ones. To imply otherwise is to actively erase a big portion of queer ppl and their voices and provides perfect ammo for actual homophobes that wanna say that queer toxic relationships imply that all queer relationships are fundamentally toxic.
At least when it comes to a double standard, like excusing abuse just because it's gay- that doesn't make it cute, thats thinking a gay ship can't be horrible when the straight version of it definitely would be!
8:31 dude as someone who struggles with hypersexuality and knows people who struggle with it as well this argument pisses me off beyond belief, I hate it with every fucking fiber in my being. Hypersexsuality doesn't make you sexually harrass or assault people, it doesn't inherently make you act like an asshole to people who don't wanna sleep with you, it doesn't make you a 24/7 horny sex feind. I am so tired of the hypersexual community being characterized this way because not only are those depictions dead wrong, but they downplay our struggles, they dehumanize us, and they basically allow a defense to sexual abusers.
Im hypersexual I hate how angel dust is portrayed. It's okay to draw attention to s/a. what's not okay is portrayal like angel dust. He is horrible representation. I think the only reason people like huskerdust is because they're gay tbh. (I'm gay myself, I do not have anything against the lgbt community)
I am hypersexual (cuz of a coping mechanism) gay fem dude just as angel dust is and i absolutely despise angel. Hes not even self destructive hes just a gross human being justifying his actions by saying "but i dont like meself 🥺" like it makes it okay. If Vivzie actually gave a shit about s3xual abuse she could, for exemple, write Angel as someone self-objectifying and dehumanizing himself as a way to falsely get control back from Valentinos abuse, but instead he just, has sex a lot and s3xually harrasses everyone he meets.
@ma_cherri fr. Also, she clearly doesn't care, she constantly sexualizes Val in numerous art peices, and she even joked about angel's SA. Not to mention helluva boss, the show (from what I can remember) she directs, romanticizes Stolas and blitz's relationship despite Stolas coercing Blitz into a sexual relationship, she has also drawn beastiality, and from what I've heard pedophilia. Vivzie is a gross, gross individual, and I despise her as a person. Beyond just the overall normaliztation/desensitization of SA, beastiality, p3d0philia, and incest that she perputuats, she is incredibly racist, transphobic, and supports a g3n0cide.
angel's hair looks like the perfect toothpaste squeeze on a toothbrush "That's why you need Colgate Total. It fights bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums - so 100% of your mouth's surfaces get protected every time you brush." ahh hair
Angel pawing at Husk and constantly making unwanted sexual remarks bothers the hell out of me. I'm glad Vaggie points out that it's sexual harassment, but it's still played off as a joke most of the time. I relate to Husk as someone who hates being touched (which is the result of childhood sexual trauma in my case), and he has a lot more patience with Angel's nonsense than I would. I probably would've stabbed Angel in the eye if he kept acting like that towards me. Imagine how hard-hitting it would've have been if, instead of revealing that he used to be an Overlord, Husk was also a SA victim and that's why he hates Angel's constant boundary pushing. Then Angel would have a moment of clarity and realize that he has subconsciously been mimicking Val, who also disrespects others boundaries. He spends so much time with Val that his behavior is starting to rub off on him. I think it'd be a neat parallel between someone who copes with sexual trauma by avoiding physical contact and someone who copes by being hypersexual. Also, as the video mentions, being hypersexual does NOT give you a free pass to put your grubby mitts on someone without permission, nor does it make it okay for you to make them uncomfortable with constant flirting and sex talk. Your sexual desires do not come before others comfort. And if you think that makes someone a "prude", then you're probably a creep.
@ShadowKitty7908 ikr??? I'm punching the fucking air that this wasn't the show we got. This idea has so much depth and would do so much for character development. I need a fanfiction rewrite of this 🚬🗿
@@T.JacobMain EXACTLY! It’s so frustrating cause all the material was right there if the writers just stepped back for a few seconds and thought instead of just “going by the book” or whatever.
Your comment is exactly why I’m a big advocate for writers not writing about serious traumas they haven’t personally experienced, at least not without a proper sensitivity consultant involved. Your rewrite actually gives narrative justification for the inclusion of SA in Angel’s backstory, as the “loser baby” scene really could’ve worked exactly the same if Angel’s issue was just substance abuse, there’s a lot more thematic correlations between a gambling addiction and alcohol/drug addiction. It’s both inaccurate and insensitive to conflate those addictions to a SA survivor developing hypersexuality and using it to self harm (which is what Angel was trying to do by intentionally accepting a spiked drink). If the story wanted to draw the parallel to the experience of signing away their souls it totally failed as we got no insight into Husk’s experiences of it, only his life prior to it. The writing of this show is just so frustrating bad… Right now it feels like Angel’s history with SA only exists to be fetishised “whumpee” trauma p*rn. When you look at the Hazbin’s story as a whole, there’s very little narrative or thematic relevance to Angel and Valentino’s plotline beyond a painfully generic “hell is bad”, which in actuality undermines the story’s intended thematic premise about the redeemablity of sinners. Also, your scene idea would actually give narrative justification to depicting Angel crossing boundaries and sexually harassing Husk all the time. Presently, the story has no justification for it beyond gross fan service/toxic ship teasing. Viv’s defenders will rationalise its inclusion due to Angel’s past, but the fact is ALL elements of a story are meant to be deliberate and serve a PURPOSE, which that behaviour didn’t, especially considering it has no relevance or pay off in the “loser baby” scene. It wasn’t even addressed as an issue! It gets dropped entirely. The fact so many fans will use the “but he’s hypersexual!” defence is emblematic of how harmful bad SA survivor rep can be (and again, emblematic of how writers without personal experience do more harm than good when they try to write about this subject), the audience has learned the horrible lesson that “trauma excuses bad behaviour” instead of the more important and complex lesson your scene idea would’ve taught them instead.
“Just because you have trauma it doesn’t give you the right to be a jerk.” This can be said about almost all toxic people in helluverse relationships…you see why that’s a problem?
Helluverse fans are honestly so hypocritical. They quickly point out heterosexual abusive/unhealthy relationships, like the one between Stella and Stolas, yet often ignore the problems that plague many of the gay relationships in the shows. Angel constantly sexually harassed the male main characters, specifically Husk, and everybody found it ''cute'' or excused it because he was hypersexual. But if Husk was a woman, almost all the fans would be calling Angel creepy and disgusting for what he did. Same with Stolitz, if Blitz was a woman, people would not be trying to justify and downplay the terrible things Stolas has done to him. And would actually be calling him out, rather than pretending or convincing themselves that it’s acceptable. The fetishism of gay relationships among the fans of these shows is really disturbing.
@@SymphonyDaBeanD and there is another one: >ship stella with blitz=bad >ship blitz with striker=good Seems like enemies to lovers is only good for them when is homosexual.
That's bc it's supposed to be a joke in the show (still not good though). But women irl bet harassed and sexualised ALL the time, r*pe isn't rare and most men watch p*rn where women get degraded. The joke wouldn't land at all bc women have been historically oppressed and still get harmed by straight men. That's why people react differently, but I aggree that this dynamic shouldn't be seen as romantic or good.
@@risforrandomandrandomisme762I mean, Blitz and Stella don't even know each other apart from the part where Blitz ran away with the Grimoire, so I can see why fans prefer the other one
The main reason ppl ship them is the fetishization of mlm pairings in media, you perfectly described the whole “if the roles were reversed “ argument perfectly
The plot of apology tour is basically like if in that bar scene in hazbin husk was portrayed as in wrong for kind of yelling at angel and angel faced no responsibility for his harrasment whatsoever. Which is almost what happens but still
Its funny to me how stolas cries like a baby in apology tour on how he just wants love, but he fed up his already toxic relationship with blitz by ignoring the fact that he made the whole thing about lust and never told blitz about his feelings, he had love and he throw it away just to not admit his mistakes, that shows you how narcisistic stolas is
To me Apology Tour need to happen because was supposed to be an eye opening moment Blitzo to show how his actions effected people specifically Verosika and Stoles two people that he had a some form of a deep connection with but the way the writers went about it was fucking stupid because it made Stoles look like a crybaby bitch because his expectations he had Blitzo didn’t become what he wanted and Verosika a character who he should sympathize with and has as ever right to angry at Blitzo for what did to her still acting like spiteful vengeful bitch because she hold yearly hate parties where people stab, hang, and burn effigies of Blitzø also saying he should kill himself and telling the audience that this is coping no that shit absolutely toxic I don’t write were smoking when they were making this shit
AP is just the writers being like "We need to show that Blitzø is an asshole who ruins life’s, but like REALLY show it" I’ve heard that it was written years ago, but it feels so weird and lazy that it really feels like a last minute decision, and what’s worse is that it doesn’t even make sense If Blitzø is someone who doesn’t believe he can be loved, why would he be in so many meaningful relationships, besides why would that many people wanna date Blitzø is he’s such an ahole 🙈.
We need an episode like this where Stolas realizes where he's wrong, but it's more about him deprogramming classism. Actually we need an entire arc dedicated to Stolas realizing how classist he is.
fr and ppl go “well erm i hate val bc if u like him u like sa!1!!1” but when ppl like angel dust we dont like sa despite angel harassing husk?? edit: “Oh GoLlY GeE tYsM fOr tHe LiKeS🤖🤖🤖”

@@mr.hayaibear He pretty much used all arguments against himself and pushed all the blame on Blitz which is very dissapointing and makes me think he is egocentric - always thinking about himself, not others. He honestly is the perfect definition of an egocentric character because most stereotypes show all egocentric people to be "evil" and "never sympathetic" which isn't true - atleast not all the time. I just believe that them breaking up and parting ways would've worked better because they both clearly aren't suited to be with eachother. And yes, it's very annoying how the show writers keep babying him prettty much and acting like he was the "victim of it all".
That scene where Angel Dust throws the broken bottle at Husk and is like "You'd be lucky if I came onto you!" feels like a villain rant to me. Like this is something an R-Rated Gaston would do to Belle after she rejected him. Scenes like that don't make me pity Angel Dust or want him to get better, they make me think *"Wow. This guy is a fucking asshole. I want to see him get the shit beat out of him because he's using his own pain as an excuse to hurt someone else."* That's what villains do. Angel Dust is not a victim in that scene, in that scene he's a villain.
To be fair on angel dust... he IS trying to get out of his contract. It doesn't excuse his behavior but the abuse and drugs he's on DO explain why he's the type to be chaotic and unpredictable. He has to take alot so he covers up that pain in hyper sexual tendencies [a real thing. People in rl who have been sexually abused are more likely to be more sexual or not at all.] Husk should be terrified but no one terrifies an ex overlord more than Alistor. So what Angel does only makes him mad at most and disgusted but not scared. Angel even showed a normal side to him for once when he finally let his walls down around Husk and against when he stood up against the blind moth bastard. Angel is deliberately written this way because it fits for what he's gone through and what people in abused relationships/growing up in those scenarios had to deal with. You just stop letting people in and hide everything but lash out/shut down when people try to get you to "stop pretending" [you know.. that thing Husk CALLED OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!]
Well, Husk used to be an Overlord, I'm sure he went thru a lot of stuff, It makes sense he only got mad and nothing else. But honestly? Your point Is valid. Yeah, Angel Is hypersexual because of his condition, but he should've def apologized on episode 4 or afterwards tbh
@@rigboy1234 Well we shouldn't assume what Husk did as an Overlord without it being shown to us. Angel's Hypersexuality has been criticised by many actual people who are themselves Hypersexual for being a poor representation of their condition. The problem is that Angel's acts of sexually harassing Husk are played for laughs. It only becomes a source of drama when Angel is called out, before that it's meant to be funny.
@@nobody-xh6ii The issue with that is that Angel Dust's acts of being hypersexual are played for laughs, him sexually harrassing Husk and making uncomfortable sexual remarks to those around him. If the show wants us to take his condition seriously it does a very poor job of it. Many actual people who struggle with Hypersexuality have criticised Angel Dust's depiction as being an offensive stereotype that does not realistically portray the condition. A good chunk of the story plays it off like a funny character quirk and not the serious mental illness that it is. Husk's feelings shouldn't be downplayed because he is a victim of Angel Dust's acts of sexual harassment, just because the show mostly plays his disgust for laughs shouldn't be used to downplay what he's subjected to. Because the writers do play hypersexuality for drama when it's Angel Dust being sexually assaulted by Valentino. But not when it's Husk being sexually harassed by Angel Dust. Also Angel Dust never really apologises to Husk for his behaviour.
@@PlanetZoidstar (This is a long comment) Yeah, i don't think hypersexuality caused by any form of SA should be turned into jokes. As an SA victim, I felt pretty grossed out by those scenes that were meant to be "funny" and made me feel worse about my condition. It kinda felt like they were saying we would be more likely to harass our friends or other people around us because of the horrible things we experienced, that's how it came off to me anyway. Honestly, stuff like this needs to be handled with more care without sugar-coating everything and needs to be taken seriously. And not like the Sir Pentious being assaulted scene that was...also made for laughs. Suddenly if it's not Angel, it's somehow "funny". I'll even take a jab at Stolitz where Stolas s*xually harasses and manipulates Blitzo and they are played off for laughs... Viv and the team also love to torture Blitzo(all the scenes with him just give me flashbacks since my life looks like that too(same with angel except I don't do the adult film stuff)) while they paint Stolas as an uwu victim, and they are somehow going to be end game which...doesn't make any sense at all. I will even jab at Verosika who s*xually assaulted Moxxie all because she has this grudge against Blitzo, which isn't justifiable(her being angry at him makes sense, i guess, but the rest is just...why?), and that was played off as a joke, and they paint her as an uwu victim too, meanwhile she is actively attacking him and his co-workers. As much as the enjoyable stuff is actually good to watch and sometimes take a break from real life to chill or relax, the rest of these two shows are godawful. I'm not even a writer professionally, and even I know that the way these are being written is worse than godawful. It's like they saw all the SA and harassment gags/jokes in cartoons and anime and said, "why not do that here" knowing full well that most don't find them funny anyway for obvious reasons. I really hope the team does better, but at this point, it's wishful thinking and getting my hopes up is a waste.. Like the title of this video, most of the fandom(I think) would hate these ships if they were straight, because somehow it's worse if people of the opposite sex do it, but people of the same sex doing it, it's fine and dandy and normal. My trauma got dismissed like that often because a girl assaulted me, but I'd be in the wrong because "well she's a lesbian and you'd be painting all innocent lesbians as evil, so she's pure hearted", but if I said a man did it, then I'd be in the right because "they are evil" or one of those poor dumb excuses people love to make. Make it make sense. Justice for Sir Pentious in the chat!(I'm not letting that go) Sorry this is long-
@@exoskelepathy Originally it was implied that while their marriage was loveless it wasn’t outright abusive until Blitz came along (Via mentioned that when she was a kid her parents didn’t hate each other). On that scenario Stolas was clearly on the wrong for cheating AND for taking advantage of an imp. But then on season 2 it was made so that Stolas was always a victim of abuse and painted his cheating as “okay”.
Fun fact! Did you know the main animator/storeboard artist for the Poison music video is a non-con fetish artist? If Poison ever made you feel gross for a different reason, that's why. :)
@@polygondroid7504 They also sexually harassed a minor and is besties with Viv who, trying to defend him said he was SAd and coped with it by drawing noncon, just for him to say he wasn't SAd and just found rape hot loud and proud 💀
"I'm not saying because I hate Angel and want him to suffer. I'm not saying this because I hate Stolas and want... em... actually that's not true" Had me dying...
Something tells me that if Blitz and Husk were men, and Angel and Stolas were women, everything would be exactly the same as it is. Because of course only feminine ones can be victims and it is forgivable for them to mock masculine
@@risforrandomandrandomisme762 yeah im not kidding i saw one fo those degen yt channells where theres nsfw comics thats covered... one was about a CHİLD and a girl... the title was naruto squad reaction to lucky boy or smth like that
That's okay, I've always hated those ships for how toxic, abusive and just lacking in wholesomeness they are. Helluva Boss is pushing Stolitz so damn hard, but it is a relationship built on sand, projection and unhealthy coedependence. Two deeply flawed characters with no good reason to feel they should be together. It's pure Cope. Like Blitzo said in Ghostfuckers.
@@risforrandomandrandomisme762 To be fair the writers heavily fetishise Stolitz and the narrative of Helluva Boss is built on it. So the fans are just following the example laid out by the show. What sucks the most out if it is you know Octavia's agency is going to be sacrificed to brute force it into being endgame. She's going to have to settle for her father getting with the Imp who ruined her family and she's going to have to accept her mother was born evil. All to make Stolitz more palatable for the audience. Stella needs to be evil and Octavia needs to set aside her own happiness so it can happen.
It’s just like when X-Men 97 was pushing Magneto x Rogue to be canon when so many people didn’t want it to happen. I don’t like this ship and I ship Rogue with Gambit.
I’m not surprised a lot of the shippers aren’t getting the double standards most of the shippers I’ve seen are kids who, even if they could learn, aren’t going to because of the adults in the community telling them that this is correct representation
What you mean by correct representation tho? Like the kids believe gay people act like that on real life or you just mean they like ships that are distasteful to you? Bc if it's the first well yeah then they gotta learn about consent and abusive dynamics right now, if it's the second tho what's the problem? They can like whatever, shipping it's not social activism or a serious matter, some might ship really messed up stuff like idk incst (WHICH I HATE GROSS AF) but honestly unless they try to replicate that on real life it's not that deep, shipping doesn't reflect who you are on real life, someone shipping stolitz (which is a stupid ass ship in my mind 😂) doesn't make them bad people by doing so, they would be if they treat others badly or are bigoted that's for sure, but I feel a lot get really pressed about certain ships being popular when in reality it's not a problem beyond the fact that it bothers you, sometimes you gotta see a ship and realize people playing pretend with their imaginary dolls kissing shouldn't bother you that much, much less if you personally don't work producing either fics or fanart
The fact that the voice actors for Blitz and Stolas (Brandon Rogers and Bryce Pinkham) find Stoliz a cute ship from what I heard really makes me think that the voice actors for helluva boss don't watch the show they're auditing for lol
@@Sourle3fin addition to this, Stolas’ VA is actually really good at reading him as being a douchey weirdo who’s never really experienced legitimately healthy relationships before I think a huge problem with Stolitz is the shift to the writers(including Brandon btw OP is absolutely correct about his view on this ship it’s so gross) playing it straight rather than what it actually is: two people who are too used to abuse to stray from the path and who need to become better separately
Ok I'll actually write something, lol. I honestly think Viv isn't aiming to write genuine relationships and good dynamics. She's just checking off boxes to feed the Stoliz / Huskerdusk shippers. It's just material to get them drooling with no actual substance. Hence why this "romance" comes out of nowhere. It's not planned. It just exists for more people talking. Pretty sad honestly. They had potential, all the pieces were there. She just doesn't know how to handle them.
Oh and it's her fetish too. She's just catering to fans who don't understand obviously problematic relationships and people who get off to it. Viv needs to take critique for once.
I would've prefered If Angel's entire Character wasn't so s3xualised Just because he's a Corn Star. Every interaction He Has with a Male Character, He starts flirting.
Honestly. I always hated both of these ship since the beginning, especially huskerdust. But, I was so alone around my friends loving them, that I gaslight myself to do the same, but now, I am so happy to find that people actually dislike them, and that I was, somehow, right to do !
There is another, equally terrible aspect to this as well. If Angel or Stolas was a woman, when people would talk about male Blitzo or Husk, people would be saying "I wish that were me" or "Man, they really are lucky". I don't watch much anime, but I know this is a huge problem when it comes to female on male gr*pe becase the female is always hot in anime, and a lot of time, the scene is framed to sexualize the female, which takes attention off how terrible the thing actually happening is. And of course, everyone is apalled when it's a man doing it to a woman. It really is sad how people just act like it's a quirky thing, but ONLY when it's in a gay relationship.
It kind of makes me think about how Makima treats Denji in Chainsaw Man, is that a fair comparison? Cause I thought she made him act and bark like a subservient dog in like the 2nd episode to her.
@@Donomyte935spoiler alert!!!!!!!! She is a great example, especially because she sexually exploits denji’s lack of intimacy constantly, like in ep 5(sadly haven’t caught up with the manga yet). Seeing all those people say “oh I wish I was him” and “I wanna be groomed by her” makes me sick to my stomach.
i can literally never criticise gay relationships for fear of being called homophobic, yet somehow i feel like its MUCH worse to baby people who are queer and not call them out for bad relationship behaviours. Queer relationships can be just as horrendously bad as Straight ones. this situation kind of reminds me of how most people argue against feminism, saying its just an excuse to ‘let women get away with anything’ when thats not it. true equality is to treat EVERYONE and EVERYTHING with the same amount of respect AND skepticism if its appropriate/applicable. i think people just seem to think ‘omg a woman and a woman or a man and a man, they MUST be able to be in a healthy relationship since they’re the same gender hahah’. im a girl whose had a gf before and i cannot stress enough that id never get back in a relationship with her. shes changed now and i’m proud of her for that, but our friends still act weird about the fact we both dated and they still give off ‘UWU g-girl x girl…?’ vibes even though is been years. in short cause i ended up ranting (oops), the best way to respect queer people is to literally not treat them like they're different. Because they're not. Bad people are bad people and bad behavior is bad behavior. Regardless of who it's done to or who is the predator.
Exactly! It’s difficult to ever give criticism because people will immediately deflect and accuse you of being homophobic, even if you have a valid point to make. I’ve seen it many times before, especially in the case of Stolitz with this fandom. Just because a relationship features two characters of the same gender, it isn’t automatically the best, healthiest choice to be rooting for. A gay relationship can be toxic just like how a straight relationship can be toxic. Some people are terrible and their orientation shouldn’t excuse them of that.
This is how I feel about Bubbline. Bubblegum went free with so much shit and one of those was treating Marceline like she was stupid and verbally abusing her. Yelling to your black girlfriend that's ashamed of her vampirism that she's a "monster" and still end up with her because you're a lesbian is something that made me so mad because Marceline deserved better. What was the difference between Ash treating Marceline like shit Vs PB treating her like shit? That she's a lesbian, pink and cute and cute lesbians that are pink can't do no wrong? C'mon! And you can't say this because then you're homophobic. Me, the gay trans man, homophobic cuz I'm tired of lowkey abusive queer relationships being portrayed as cute and innocent
People seem to cling to the idea that identity is the cause of everything. "Trans bad because trans is predator", "gay people can do no wrong" etc. Like no, we are human beings, who HAPPEN to HAVE AN IDENTITY, and can be good or bad regardless of that? It's not a cause. Its just who that person is regardless of the actions they make. I'm LGBT and I used to be a horrible person, and I've been in terrible abusive LGBT relationships... its like we're not people to them but little characters or "the good identity" or we are "the bad identity". Such goofy, childish thinking.
wdnt it be more homophobic to NOT criticize queer relationships at all? since youre technically treating them differently than how you would treat and view straight relationships. isnt the whole point of the pride movement equality and having equal rights? its completely redundant if they were to be treated special or different by society.
i hate that ppl don't take abusive relationships seriously when it's anything other than man-on-woman. a huge example of this is she-ra. there isn't any SA in the show, but catra is emotionally and physically abusive towards adora and they still end up together in the end. if catra was a man, nobody would like this ship. but since they're both women, apparently it's okay?? i'm a sapphic (omni specifically) woman and my ex girlfriend was a lot like catra and stolas. nobody took me very seriously when i told them that she had hit me and once coerced me into sleeping with her. i feel like they'd take me more seriously if she was a man.
this absolutely. i relate so much to Adora as someone who used to have a friend like Catra and it's so invalidating to see people defending her. they'll defend Catra by saying that she has BPD and it really sucks because they're basically saying that being abusive is naturally a part of having BPD. and if it was confirmed that she has it then that's gotta be the worst representation of a cluster B disorder i have ever seen.
Blitzo and Husk deserve better than to be paired up with their ''cute little gay boyfwiends'' because dear lord, like this video states, if they were women, there would be outrage. Which means that, women or not, the situation is clearly bad and both need out. Its not bad to write these sorts of relationships with the intent of displaying how toxic they truly are, breaking the duo apart and then showcasing how they heal and move on (or don't) from the situation. Vivzie just includes them cuz, I dunno, k!nky or whatever.
Absolutely like there was a clear level of respect with the two and Husk was very clearly willing to do things for Angel and even went out to dinner at one point with him and Fat Nuggets
Funny how assault is only treated as a bad thing when it's the antagonists doing it, but when the protagonists do it, it's just their relationship dynamic! Oh, and most of the perpetrators are queer. How very interesting. What did Vivziepop mean by this?
Least based Hol Horse pfp It's AMAZING how vivzie's community dosen't see how much bullshit in her writing, specially the "protagonist/antagonist" biases
@@risforrandomandrandomisme762 DUDE When I watched that scene I was like "Isn't this distasteful and out of place in a show that attempts to actually handle the topic of SA? Nah, I'm just being sensitive." SO glad to see it wasn't just me who was bothered by it!!
4:55 i wanna give you a kiss on the forehead for saying that, seriously theres a lot of fandoms out there that should listen to that, great video you give good arguments youre amazing
I'm gonna go a step further, and say if these were lesbian ships people would hate them even more, the community as a whole is so starved for male on male represnation they are clinging to vizie's shitty writing
Particularly so within the context of the Hellaverse given how allergic Viv is to actually writing women that doesn’t just boil them down to ‘bitchy abuser’ ‘slut’ or ‘love interest’. Even the main sapphic ship is still painfully devoid of any real passion bc the most we get is like a couple of chaste kisses and the odd mention that they’re girlfriends, in comparison to the variety of mlm ships that do at least *try* to focus on different aspects of romance and sex (until they inevitably get pushed into the ‘top = big and masc and bottom = dainty small and effeminate’ box) Even Hazbin, the show that Viv outright stated was meant to be ‘female focused’ after people pointed out how Millie and Loona didn’t seem to have any character development, *still* prioritises all the male cast over Charlie and Vaggie in terms of episode focus and overall plot. Not to mention how her version of Heaven is genuinely just Hell but with a blue/gold palette, idk how she messed up the most basic concept when she got it well executed in the C.H.E.R.U.B episode of HB, with the only real difference being that apparent angels are homophobic in the Hellaverse bc Hell = cool queer sex place and Heaven = stuck-up pearl clutching prudes (but ignore Adam making constant innuendos and swearing, that’s not bad character writing bc sex and swearing is Le Epic Funni)
Back on the hater grind! I always found it so funny how everybody hated Stella when Stolas was probably the same, somebody desperately needs to save Blitzo from this writing jeez 😭
@@ma_cherri She seems to have an issue of s*xualisating/not taking serious queer men or just messing up serious topics with those s*x jokes all the time. Reminds me of those yaoi manga I read as a teen and they would make scenes where one guy literally gropes and undresses the other despite them saying no and it's supposed to be "romantic" or funny??
I'm still pretty glad you bring up the problems in these ships. I have always thought I was going insane when looking at them since people really love those ships ;-;
8:36 people arguing that « hypersexual people can’t control themselves » are not just saying awful shit to ones that have been harassed by someone that so happened to be that but also make it seem as if all of hypersexual people are mindless and dangerous and can’t keep their hands to themselves and don’t know a boundary. I hate it omg
The whole thing about fandoms having a double standard when it comes to gay ships (especially male x male ships because fujoshis are crazy) is so true, like there's a ship in a fandom I'm in between an autistic character and the guy who's regularly ableist to him, and barely anyone has an issue with the ship because they're both dudes
@@Catnap_0-0 this is so embarrassing lol...but there's a popular comedy show called Community from 2009 that I'm a fan of, which is where the ship comes from
I swear ton of BL or Yaoi is a grape fetish. But ton at GL and yuri is literally wholesome couple activities. I swear, I seen people defending Loveles, Boku No Pico, Bitch Club and Underground Idol, but get mad on people that watches Redo Healer, Dragon Maid or Gushing over Magical Girls. It's really hard to find Yaoi manga or anime where gay couples are not that horny fliping each others, but acts more like wholesome cpuples.
@@anetepaulakrinicka7830And it's not like being horny is bad, because we're humans and humans have sex and feel sexually aroused. The issues are how these people sexualize rape, abuse, sexual power imbalances, etc.
Let's work out a compromise for the HuskerDust shippers. How about this? Angel realises what he's done to Husk, apologies, does his best to make up for it and always asks consent or makes sure Husk is okay when he tries anything romantic. Husk appreciates his efforts, but after the hurt and assault he can't just forgive him and fall in love. Angel understands, though a little frustrated (like anyone would be if rejected) and they stay close friends who help eachother. Angel still has some romantic feelings for Husk, but doesnt act on them, and Husk eventually admits his feelings in the future. Though excited, Angel and Husk take it slowly and always make sure the other one is comfortable before doing anything, and they both set some boundaries in place. There. Sound good?
hey! actual hypersexual person here! And personally, i absolutly hate the excuse of angel being hypersexual for husk's abuse. It's simple disgusting how people use a serius thing as hypersexuality to excuse angel's acts.
as a former bully i want to say im sorry for whatever you went though. it took years for me to apologise for hurting the other kids in my neighborhood and i STILL almost 40 years later hate myself for it. and whats worse is i used to justify it in my head that because my mother beat me and spit on me that i should do the same to others, what i did was awful and on behalf of your bully im sorry for what happened nobody should have to bullied. ever.
@@AngelOfNoMercy thanks for your apology, although it’s really not yours to give, you didn’t bully me. Honestly, I think the most important thing after doing something wrong like this is accountability, which Angel does not have. Not once has he expressed remorse for the way he treated Husk or apologized for it. So the fact that you’re apologizing and actually feel guilty about it shows that you’ve changed into a much better person.
@ well I wouldn’t be so sure that you’re going to hell- I mean personally idk what I believe in anymore but I’ve always thought hell is reserved for the worst of the worst. Yk like m*lestors and stuff
Honestly even if we made this into a straight relationship people would still defend it cause I’ve seen it happen on webtoon where fans of web comics with clearly toxic female on men or toxic men on women as romantic. Like there was this one comic where a lady literally drugged and forced herself onto her male childhood friend and said how she own him and the girls in the comments was like “so romantic or GIRLBOSS” it’s so weird don’t get me started on the princess’s jewels that dumpster fire
@ yeah I know but still my point still stands some people would think that it’s hot or that sexy. Because some people romanticize those types of ships no matter what gender
My boyfriend is hypersexual and he would NEVER do anything to anyone without consent. Being hypersexual doesn't mean you "can't control yourself" Hypersexuality is grossly misrepresented.
I really wish they had kept Stolas as the villain of the show. I mean, could you imagine how badass of a villain he’d make? Constantly gaslighting blitz and using his trauma against him. Having a decent backstory that explains but doesn’t justify his actions. And his relationship with Stella could be a sort of “There both equally terrible so they deserve each other” sort of gag. With Octavia eventually telling them both off. Have striker be the love interest instead. Blitz clearly was more attracted to him lol
AGREED!! he gkt the looks and had the voice and the powers and the states hed been a great villian even id they give me or didnt give me a sad backstory But Meh I think hazbin hotel and helluva boss shouldn't have ships since I see no helathy relationships in it
@@laurav5767 This I was really disapointed with the HORRIFIC character assasination Striker got after his FIRST episode, it's insane how bad Viv is with handling characters after she introduces him. He was so cool before and then she just made him incompetent
Remind me on how people defended Catra and Adora's relationship despite Catra abusing Adora and almost killing her and her friends all because it was gay (also people forget they are adopted siblings)
Omg thank you. As a sapphic, I’ve always disliked Catadora because of how abusive and down right sadistic Catra was. The show tried to give her a redemption arc by the end but it felt too rushed to me. She either should’ve stayed the main villain or had a redemption arc sooner in the show. Also I feel like Adora always saw Catra as a sister, so their kiss at the end of the show felt so weird to me.
@@recycledideas4261 Exactly. Many LGBT people and cis straight people in general fetishize abuse and toxic behavior in relationships and will give a mountain of excuses for why it's fine and claim the negatives are "apart of the culture" Which festers a negative view of romance
There's this show, Euphoria (HBO max). The character Cassie Howard kinda reminds me of Angel Dust, they both seek for male validation, have daddy issues, hypers3xual and instantly play the victim once they're called out for their actions.
8:57 thank you for featuring my comment! I 100% agree with your take on both ships. That's basically the main reason I legit stopped caring about both HB and HH. Seeing Blitz so destroyed over "breaking up" with his abuser, and knowing they will eventually get together despite all the bs and abuse, made me so extremely uncomfortable. It's giving Stockholm Syndrome, not soul mates. 😭
Can we also talk about how tragic ghostfuckers is? Like even though stolas isn’t in this episode it shows better then any other his privilege and how much much he was broken blitz down. Like I didn’t see this as a “blitz is just sad cuz he wuved him plot” I see it as someone who was so abused they were gaslit into thinking they were the problem and someone who’s spirit has been crushed by their abuser. Millie and her thinking she was worth nothing but being the muscle and being shocked blitz even owned a business just drilled in how privileged and spoiled stolas is. Stolas defenders here, please tell me how you honest to god think that’s love and not a tragic story of abuse
Imo, l think Stolitz is a mutually shitty relationship. I think they both treat each other badly, and we should stop trying to say who's worse, because they both messed up. I admit, l used to ship them, but now I'm just relieved whenever I see an episode that's not Stolitz centered. Since l know Viv is desperate to make them canon, l think first we need to have Stolas actually realise how badly he treated Blitz, because Blitz himself is already self-aware of what he's done. Stolas however, is not. And l wish I could say it's because he's so sheltered and deeply unaware of how his actions affect others, or how the real world works, which would make him a lot less unbearable, and also make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, Viv seems desperate to make him and Angel incapable of facing consequences, which sucks.
@@Yoimiya_Lover29 Yeah blitz is an awful person but when it comes to stolitz the sexual assault makes me think it’s more one sided the both being just mutually wrong.
@@Yoimiya_Lover29 I disagree. Stolas has power, is a species that's seen as the most important, has money, etc. There's a power imbalance, right? Then we start to see that Stolas has a race kink and not any other race but the one that's so poor that even the thought of said race having personal business it's rare as fuck and what does Stolas do about it? He sexualizes it. He sees Blitzo being small and the race he is as hot + loves to give him undermining "pet names" related to his race. He reads erotic books about imps right in front of his daughter and he also just goes about how imps are little creatures, oh so cute, but also not capable of things and abuses them physically...like any other Goetia does with their butler imps even if Stolas himself said he doesn't see Blitzo as less when Blitzo was mad that he, indeed, saw imps as inferior + he compared him to Striker because they're BOTH imps. His dad bought Blitzo for him for fucks sake! How's that mutually abusive? And don't even get me started in the manipulation tactics and then acting like what he wanted was more that Blitzo to fuck him to then flip the tables and gaslight Blitzo into thinking he was the pervert, sex-crazed one. To be mutual it has to be in equal ground and it definitely isn't in equal ground and never was.
@@Neganerd Hi! I absolutely agree with what you're saying that Stolas is definitely worse, and I realise that I worded my comment wrong. I do believe Stolitz is toxic on both sides, and that Blitz is not completely innocent either, *however* I also agree that Stolas is definitely worse, and I wish Viv would bring light to that
@@Yoimiya_Lover29 “mutually shitty” when one person sexually exploits the other guy lmfao. Is angelval mutually shitty too because Angel dust is mean to valentino
Absolutely hate Huskerdust as a romantic ship. Just because two men get along, it doesn't mean they have to date and fall in love. Husk has repeatedly shown multiple times that he is uncomfortable with Angel's advancements. And it's upsetting that viv has stated they are a slow burn couple.
This is why I'd have much preferred it if Huskerdust had remained a purely platonic ship myself! It'd would've been so neat to see two MLM become platonic bros since honestly I highly doubt we're getting that from anyone else in the show but nope, apparently sex and romance are the law of the land even when they override even basic logic. :/
@@spencerpetunia8268 it's really frustrating. I love the inclusivity of the different sexualities and the different kinds of romantic relationships but I just can't get behind why everything needs to be a sexual relationship. It's something that frustrates me in fandoms and especially so when the creator acts that way. Men can be friends, gay men can be friends. Anyone can be friends. It's so frustrating and honestly makes me dislike the show a bit.
@@tr42h26 ME TOO! Especially as someone who has no real interest in sex, romance, or dating, the insistence of all these shows on shoehorning sex and romance even in places it makes no real sense is VERY annoying.
The biggest problem with these two ships is how forced they feel as hell, it's not even a "slow-burn". Blitzø, Stolas and Angel should learn to be single instead of dating right away, or whatever.
mostly because it was a last minute decision. until around around season 2 stolas was intended to be an antagonist but because brandon thought they'd be a cute ship they did a hard turn on the writing. so stolas was being written as an antagonist and then hard stopped to be written as a protagonist.
@jroxpone nah that's disgusting, especially the favors for favors thing. It also ruined Stolas's Character for me. He's a way better villain than an actual Love interest
@@laurav5767 It doesn’t work for him to shift roles midway; he has to be either a protagonist or an antagonist consistently. When the writing suddenly flips from antagonistic to positive, it undermines the character's foundation, making it feel like a worse toxic then it would have been if he was just a bad guy. If he had been written positively from the start, we’d likely see him differently. But those early predatory lines wouldn’t exist if he were truly a protagonist, and that inconsistency makes it feel wrong.
@@laurav5767 yeeaa, If a context where they intended for Stolas to evolve from antagonist to protagonist, it would need a different approach. He could start by treating Blitz condescendingly as a privileged, snooty character, doing as he pleases. Over time, he’d realize he’s developing genuine feelings-a struggle for him, as he’s never experienced real romantic attachment, causing him to fall into it clumsily and mishandle his emotions. which could lead to a similar fall out in the show that makes more sense for how toxically its handled. there needs to be emphasis on all the flaws. stolas first most needs to be a antagonist who's hitting his internal conflict but not turning on a dime. and even then i don't think they'd be good together after any revelations. there needs to be time of being single to work out all that baggage. go to therapy moment.
In reality this is like micro-homophobia. Because you know deep down anyone who says it’s “ok cause it’s gay” only sees our sexuality as a trope and not something real. It’s so frustrating!!
THIS!! I am a hyper sexual as well and i would *never* just go and do things to people without consent! The misrepresentation of hyper sexuality is straight up gross man 😭
um, actually, if the guy is hot enough, has 1(one) redeeming quality and the girl blushes enough then the abusive ship will still be popular source: basiclly the entirety of manhwa and shojo romance, both of which are very popular with western audience
As a hypersexual person myself, the excuse of Angel's action disgust me. We aren't monster who need sex all the time and harass people ! And I'm a pretty flirty person too, but I can take a hint ! Angel is narcissist and it has nothing to do with his trauma.
The hypersexuality excuse is so disgusting, actually. Using trauma as an excuse for disgusting behavior is just plain wrong. Sure, it can explain it, but it's not an excuse. Angel should still be held accountable for not controlling himself and not realizing that he's making people uncomfortable. The person who commented that should do some serious soul searching. Hypersexuality is already very misunderstood. We do not need people feeding into the narrative that hypersexuality makes ppl SA other ppl. That comment is GENUINLY so harmful and insensitive it disgusts me. Great video, ppl srsly need to realize that they're spitting straight bs
Expalinging behavior is not endorsing it. You guys seriously don't listen to what ppl say. Neither are hypersexual ppl a monolyth. Angel is written as a flawed character that copes in unhealthy ways. That is the point. It's not always about you. If you need morality lessons be shoved down your throat to understand what good or bad means watch my little pony.
@@takke9830 theres literally a comment in the video where someone says that it "isnt his fault that he sexually harrasses husk because he is hypersexual." That is excusing disgusting behaviour. I get that angel is a flawed person, they're in hell, but excusing sexual harassment with hypersexuality is disgusting
@ i‘m sorry but acting like everyone does that because some random apparently said that is ridiculous. The show never endorses his behavior. If you wanna blame the show for how some fans talk about it you are being unreasonable af. And no. Saying: „he‘s acting like that cause he‘s hypersexual“ is not saying that it‘s an excuse. You made that up. You want that to the take of everyone you don‘t agree with but it isn‘t. If it was it‘d be something like: „he‘s hypersexual so his behavior is fine.“ as the general consensus. wich is not what is happening here. This is the problem with you guys. You cannot read and comprehend other‘s words, you make up arguments that nobody argued for or some tiny minority does that doesn‘t matter, and you lie and cheat to be „right“. If you wanna be right so bad maybe don‘t manipulate your opponents words so you can change their argument into something you can actually argue against cause the real argument does not fit your argument reaponse. Calm down, stop being aggressively weird about adult TV shows, and stop acting like random idiots online represent a whole fandom or the creators of said show.
@takke9830 I never said that everyone says that, but even then a lot of people do. You'd be surprised. Also, just because you dont see people doing it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. At 8:38 there's a comment where someone says "And he's hypersexual so it's not even his fault, great character" not even his fault implies that it's not his fault that he sexually harrasses people which is untrue. It IS his fault. And I never blamed the show? I would love to know where you got that from cuz I purely talked about the fans. I can read and comprehend words, I dont know the same about you however. I never fucking lied or made up anything. and if you paid attention to the video you would know that. And where did I say that these idiots represent the fandom or the showrunners?? YOU are putting words into MY mouth. Accusing me of making up arguments, when the comment I talked about is literally in the video and saying that I blamed the fandom or the showrunners when one idiot says smth stupid when I never said that. I also never said that the show itself excuses his behavior. If you read my initial comment you would see that I say that the PERSON should rethink. I call out ONE person. Not the fandom or the show. I never said that the entire fandom excuses it nor the show or showrunners.
@@takke9830 i think the issue lies with when and why it's said, like let's use real life if you are holding a man accountable for verbally sexually harassing women and someone goes "well he's hypersexual.." like ok? I don't think you realize how harmful this narrative is to people with hypersexuality, hypersexuality doesn't affect your morals so if he wasn't okay with his sexually harrassive behavior than he wouldn't have done it the way he did. So yeah people are gonna turn heads when you guys mention this in this context because it makes you look uneducated at best and problematic at worst. Also the reason why people are so hung up with angel's character arc, is that he was given the kiddie gloves, like for example, Bojack horseman does well because it can acknowledge trauma while still not treating the mc any different simply because of it, bojack horseman gets the same consequence as he would have got if he were a villain. Angel dust is different because everyone just forgives angel even though he spent a good portion of the show being awful and crossing boundaries that people have constantly set up. But everything suddenly is fine because husk and angel had a "hey don't do that >:( that's wrong" episode and everything's fine afterwards? Now *that's* more my little pony-esque to me idk
I HAVE HELD THIS OPINION FOR YEARS!! People would be PISSED if Blitz was a woman and it makes me so upset that people can’t see how gross it is since they’re both men
When I was in middle school I was friends with a guy who watched Helluva, and he treated me similarly to how Stolas treats Blitz. Constantly making comments about my body like asking me how much I weigh, my bra size, and telling his other friend how bad he wanted to see me without clothes (which I only know because one of my friends overheard their loud conversation and told me), but me, being autistic and lonely, accepted it as normal behavior because that’s what I was taught by the show. He tried to ask me out multiple times when we were friends, and I repeatedly told him that I was not interested in a relationship because I’m aroace and not in a good headspace (which was due to his comments) but he still pushed himself onto me quite literally. My friend was talking about him, since he moved before high school, couple months ago and turned to me to tell me that “He was an asshole to you, (name). I’m not sure why you stayed as long as you did” and when I asked what was wrong they listed everything he did that they knew of, and something clicked in my head. I realized that he wasn’t treating me right despite how I felt about it, and I soon realized how bad the show portrayed these relationships (whether it’s romantic or not). Everything he did to me was pushed away because I was queer so it “didn’t count” if a man harassed me even if I’m noticeably AFAB and because he had a bad home life. I’m sorry to anyone whose experience was worse than mine with these people, and some people need to know that this is not healthy, not matter the gender of the people involved.
@@WhyAreAllTagsTaken trust me, I’ve been through it before too. I’m a dude and I’ve dealt with my fair share of gross men and women. It’s disgusting to deal with, and being told the excuses “oh they’re teenagers, they don’t know any better” “they’re just horny it’s not their fault.” It sucks being in Blitz’s position. Don’t get me wrong he fucked up too but Stolas is actually a fucking disgusting pervert who doesn’t understand that there’s more to a real than sex. He needs a fucking wake up call. Sorry for what you been through, hope that guy got his damn karma and hope you’re doing alright now.
@@imgalxecan i ask if it still counts as sexual harassment even if it's one comment? that's what happened to me in my 7th grade P.E class, some boy made a comment about my butt (i was extremely uncomfortable with that) and i sometimes question if it's still counts as sexual harassment since it was one comment
Aaaand that's exactly why helluva boss is NOT for minors. It's literally for adults, who already built their gaze in life and how relationships should work. Still sorry that happened to you
Ngl I sometimes feel homophobic wishing that Vaggie x Angel would happened in the actual show, “masculine woman x femmine man” “frenemies with sexual tension” and “not so different” are actually interesting dynamics in my opinion that should be more explored in medias
Nah, technically you can be bi lesbian or bi gay. Like, biromantic and homosexual. If Alastor shippers can... well, exist, then this ship is valid, too.
Apparently, that was the original ship, I would have loved to see it rather than Charlie x Vaggie, personally. I could hardly be convinced they were meant to be girlfriends until they told us.
@@SaintofStone I love seeing a lesbian couple as the main protagonists for once 😭 But Angel and Vaggie would be interesting dynamic wise. Charlie and Vaggie are very cute, but the show doesn't make it look very deep or interesting what's between them.
Honestly I like that ship as because it LITERALLY HAS MORE CHEMISTRY THAN CHAGGIE. The main relationship! Also Angel seems like he does better with banter than (rejection) from.husker. I wish Huskerdust was more friendship as to me husker feels more as a friend.
@@Maytrixwasheree If I remember correctly, Viv and the other guy in charge for writing the show even stated that they made changes because they liked the ship.
I think that people don't dismiss these toxic behaviours in lgbtq relationships in Media because they reinforced negative stereotypes that people tend to favour, like "man can't possibly be victims of sexual assault" or romanticising and fetishizing gay relationships for the sake of their own twisted fantasies and desire. This is especially harmful when LGBT people and youth use these toxic queer relationships as an example for how queer relationships are supposed to function 💔. In this community I have observed that the people who have problems with how Vivienne writes characters manly tend to be queer people whale people who defend these walking homosexual OwO stereotypes are mostly "allies" and the small minority. These tend to be the same allies that won't let you speak a single criticism towards the show without proving to them that you have either been sexually assaulted or that you yourself are gay ("gay enough"). Which is disgusting behaviour. Also I'm a gay.
I'm so happy to hear your words about subs being able to abuse and harass. I myself was gaslighted and manipulated into doing the things I didn't want to and nobody takes it seriously because I was the dom. And what's interesting is that the person who did this was really into toxic yaoi and shitty BLs and it showed in how they acted. Wouldn't be surprised if they were a Stolaz fan as well.
@imgalxe That's why I dislike the narrative "it's just fiction" as well. It puts really hurtful ideas in people's heads. I won't get into details, but a lot of the things they did and say were like the typical toxic nonsense from manhwas and wattpad stories. And they didn't see the problem with it, they thought it was hot. (Holy shit, you're literally Giorno Giovanna, I'm subscribed now).
It's another interesting thing I've seen where if you make Stolas a woman and Blitz a man, then the relationship will also get infantilized. Because so many people don't believe that women can be abusers in straight relationships.
In the new ep that came out( S2 ep 10) they have a moment where blitzø is feeling bad for "hurting" stolas, and they show a moment from the ozzies ep,the moment when bltzø finaly stand up for himself and said "no stolas i am not fucking you tonight,i am better them this" so they ate sending the messege that if you are a person being abuse by someone and you stoud up for yourself agains your abuser, YOU are the PROBLEM. After ep 10 im dropping this show for good this is getting out of control it was still fun to watch to see how bad the writing gets and see the only good stuff that the show still has but as someone who has been in a abusive relationship just like stolitzø this is a slap in the face ane giving the fact that the helluva fandom is mostly young teens or young adults,this is the worse messege you could sent to you young and unexperience fandom.
Even after the fall of helluva boss i still have strong feelings for ozzies, becouse i love the stuff that ep talks about,the way they show how society romantecises toxic relationships and shame good health couples in the moment asmodeus shames moxie and millie and the way they show that you should give yourself value and stand of for your abuser, the moment when blitzø realises that stolas doesn't have even a little bit of love for him to the point of hiding his face and them finaly called him out and stoud up for himself was very powerfull and im my opinion a good representation for how a victim can stand up against his abuser, so knowing that they are now emplying that blitzø was wrong for doing that broke any little respect i had for the show and viv as a writer.
@moodymop1533 but blitzø didn't know that,if a abuser starts acting nice out of nowhere and after all blitzø had to go through with stolas toxic behavior he had reasons for not beleveing in him.but i must say back in that ep i was expecting to see stolas change and he did realised in that moment that he did messed up and i did liked that, but saying that just becouse stolas didn't intend to have sex doesn't mean blitzø was being toxic for no reason, blitzø could had try to talk more to stolas but after everything he had the righit to not beleve him and he is 100% justefied to be mad and say how much he is hurt by stolas actions.
@@apilho2495 Ozzie’s is such an interesting episode because it feels like an ep Vivziepop deeply regrets making. It puts Stolas’s problems on full display so now season 2 is all about doing a HARD reset and claiming none of that happened
Personally, I get the impression that the fans of these ships are just edgy teens with no real relationship experience, who only know relationships from anime and fanfiction and therefore don't understand that the relationships shown in them are toxic as fuck.
@@oxxen_uta2282 Many people seem to have forgotten how to have healthy relationships, which makes things even more difficult. Young people lack positive role models.
Can attest, as a edgy 15-17yo i hardcore shipped a VERY abusive (but i was self aware of it) Radiohusk as a way to vent, and this is and mentally stunted adults are the kind of people who make up the majority of the HH/Hb fandom, and this is probably because of how immature the humor is written, HH apealed to me so much as kid because it was "safe edgy" and "adult" and "subversive"
I've said it before and I'll scream it into the void a thousand times: STOLAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIN ANTAGONIST, at least for season one. I already commented this exact thing on another post, but holy shit I have to say it again. They uwu-ified him way too early, he could've been a really cool antagonist if he'd remained a savvy, holier-than-thou thorn in Blitz's side. Blitz would be stuck in the relationship because of his business needing Stolas's book, and Stolas would be a total jerk who knows he's shamelessly extorting Blitz. Then, if the writers REALLY wanted do a romantic spin on it (idk why but ok), they could have Stolas slowly realizing that he's got feelings for Blitz but being way too proud to admit it, then eventually realizing just how shitty he's been and asking for forgiveness, then working on himself and trying to change. Then bam, the relationship is a slow burn while still being an entertaining trashfire. When you think about it, they kinda accidentally engineered Stolas into the perfect foil for Blitz (a scrappy, lower class small business owner vs his high-society piece of shit angel investor) and then fumbled it by immediately diving headfirst into shipping town.
I am a Bi woman who delt with an AngelDust. When I was working at CFA, a man came up to me and I thought he needed help...he said no and tried asking for my number and I declined because I find that unprofessional in a workplace setting and his response was "Really? Because your are seriously missing out. You're gonna regret this!" And left. My managers were around and asked if I was ok because they were about to call security. (My manager was a girl-dad too and he don't play) I said I was ok and they switched me from cashier to bagging just to be sure but like seriously?! That wasn't ok for me and to see something I FUCKIN DEALT WITH in this show as "cute" is disgusting Edit: typo in AngelDust 😭
The scene at Ozzie's with this context is giving 'pedo teacher grooming their student and gets caught in public and is scared for their reputation'. (I say student not in like an infantilizing way, but in like a power imbalance kinda way)
so once i had an argument w a stolas d rider. she kept defending him saying how he did nothing wrong, and when i realized her mind would never change i went "fuck this shit im out"
ah, yes, let's ship the dude who is constantly catcalling, flirting and making advances at a dude who keeps telling him to fuck off because he's not interested with... uh, the guy who keeps telling him to fuck off because he's not interested.
yeah that sounds about right
I personally think Stoaliz is ruining Helluva Boss. It all started with simple demons going to the humans world to k!ll people, and now it’s just a bad romance.
The plot of Helluva Boss is all over the place because it has no plot. There is no goal for the characters to achieve. Characters that need the development (Cough, Millie, Cough) are sidelined always for Blitzø and Stolas’ toxic relationship.
Same thing with Huskerdust. They don’t have anything in common besides them selling their souls to Overlords. Husker clearly has interest in Angel and continuously tries to seduce him through the first few episodes (Including the Pilot).
The worst part about these ships is that there is always one person in the party that is constantly playing the victim. Helluva Boss has Stolas, who acts like Blitzø is entirely in the wrong while he did nothing. Then Angel Dust acts like his problems are the most important thing in the world, as if nobody else actually understands what he’s going through even though he KNOWS that’s not true.
I’m still confused by LGTBQ+ ships can get away with anything, but if it’s a Straight relationship *THEN* do people put their foot down. However, if it’s a Gay relationship that have a toxic relationship it’s fine.
Like WTH?
P.S. Sorry for the Rant
You have a valid opinion about stoaliz, but I can’t agree because of what stolas did in mastermind
@@YourRandomFriend3 i was talking about husk and AD, not stolitz, but the dynamic does stay the same. I don't really know much about Helluva boss.
@@Greenteeth21 ah! Ok, in mastermind,the newest episode, ⚠️SPOILER⚠️ stolas saves blitz from being beheaded
@@LepocalypseLB i would say that lgbt ships tend to be more toxic and get away with more because its in his "infancy", in a media way. Straight ships at first tend to get away with more in the begining of times because there wasnt a focus in making a good healthy relationship between the characters, just to make them a couple, that´s why many famous straight couples of movies and series from older times were so much more toxic, because it was less discussed and less talk about it(Also, a lot of romantizantion and normalization of things). Now we have a lot more of healthy straights couples because it was discussed and people talked about it. LGBTQ+ ships area more or less in that area, at first people where happy because of LGBTQ+ represetation, and rightfully so! But, the happines for represatation kinda of blinded us from seeing if it was even a good couple in the first place. In many years to come probably there will be more caution in making relationships, straight or queer, healthier(if the goal is to make a good couple that is worth rooting for)
blitz has every right to think stolas wants him for his sexual desires
Fr, honestly screw stolas now, I hope they never get together 😭
That's what I was hoping for
But y'know, you gotta earn money somehow so Vivziepop will try to have stolas become better with Blitz which makes no sense..
@@Jade.the.Government Sadly, they will. I mean, I don't think Viv will risk all she has done to these two just to not get together in the end. I used to like this ship, but the development is horrible.
@@thomasramirez5132 I think my fear is, I’m worried he’ll continue acting like a victim and won’t have to take accountability
in the episode “oops,” (I’m paraphrasing) he says that stolas likes his photos, takes time to hang out with him, compliments him, etc. even fizz knows that stolas likes him more than blitzo does 😭 I think blitzo should be able to know by season 2 at least
Im a straight girl, and one of the first red flags i noticed while watching Helluva Boss is that Blitz seems very uncomfortable with Stolas "flirting" with him. I didn't think much until way later into the series.
I'm an ace girl and I was uncomfy with stolas alongside blitz 😭 I had to hide in comments during weird makeout scenes
Straight girl here too. Yeah .stolas continuously flirting even though it makes Blitz uncomfortable is super weird and for some reason Stoliz fans completely forget how he was in S1.
Same though I don’t even watch either of viv’s shows bc this stuff makes me too uncomfortable 😭
@queenvictoria4237 That was I friend zoned Stolas on Char ai. Stolas is just meant to be single. I told him off and then I couldn't talk to him for days. Stolas is actually in character.
Writing a character like Blitz feels like treading a very fine and sensitive line. I think the idea behind the apparent discomfort is Blitz's fear of intimacy and maybe even resentment of something that he views as mockery. Is it well done? No lol but i can at least see the intention

I absolutely DESPISE it when people think men can't get sexually assaulted too because it happens to women more like it's just really sexist and stupid. 🤦♀️
Right? What’s the difference if it’s a man getting pounced on and not a women?
I get where it's coming from, though. Men are far more sexualy active than women, for biological reasons (and I say this as a man).
It happens to both sexies across the board, and I even made it a serious plot point in one of my stories. The trauma lingers with the victim (mineta) and the accused (midnight), even when both try to move on. And no, I don't ship them at all. They each have their own lives and support groups but still can't unsee the incident.
FRRRR OMG ITS SO IRRITATING AND THEN WHEN YOU TELL THEM THEY LIKE "well it happens to women more" or "they deserve it" LIKE WHAT!? they should be treated the same way as when a women get sa. Women and men don't deserve to be hurt in any type of way unless there a bad person that's it
@@Sillybook_faires Fr, and imo it's not that it's more "rare", but rather that men are afraid to speak up cause double standards
Also, as a hypersexual, if someone tells me to back off I BACK OFF. IT’S NOT THAT HARD
This! Im also hypersexual and have a disorder that worsens that and... Its so easy to only talk about sex to people who want to as well?
Its not that hard to mind your buisness and know theres a time and place for things
Also have been sa'd by others because they think i "cant help myself but want it". Hypersexual people have self autonomy AND self control ffs
same here, it really isn’t that hard to genuinely talk to someone normally.
@@alexbennet4195 hypersexuality doesn’t mean that whatsoever, you have an overactive sex drive that causes you to be aroused more often than not, but despite your overactive sexuality, you can still have a conscious that tells you what is or isn’t wrong to say or do in a conversation
@@alexbennet4195 i used “more often than not” without teenagers in mind, because generally anyone can experience this and i disregarded it
sure, yes, teenagers go through puberty and allat, but “more often than not” means a persistent issue that occurs almost all throughout your moments of the day, and while at times it can cause issues within your daily life when communicating with people, there is a certain level of control you can maintain for yourself (unfortunately this isnt a thing just every person with hypersexuality can do, and even people who are able to maintain this control can’t do this all the time, otherwise hypersexuality wouldnt be an impulse disorder for them)
@@alexbennet4195 wrong! I don't know where you got that from but most people that I know on a intimate level that are hypersexual can control themselves around others, the problem is that they imagine them in a sexual way then they feel incredibly guilty, or they only think about sexual stuff and can't get it out of their head then if they mister-beast they feel guilty, it comes from sexual trauma like being graped at a young age or being exposed to sexual content at a young age or even being depressed at a young age then using this as a way to cope

It’s interesting how Stolas harassing Blitzø isn’t supposed to be seen as that big of a deal, but Chaz harassing the M&Ms is 🤔
Or Blitzo harassing the M&Ms too. There is also a power imbalance there, as Moxxie has made his ignored boundaries very clear, but since Blitzo is the boss, Moxxie never gets any justice.
I haven't watch hb/hh so I thought the brand version of M&M :P
@@exoskelepathy I think Blitzø teasing Moxxie can work, but it’s a problem when it becomes sexual. It’s weird how absolutely everything in the show has to be tied to sexual themes.

@@starthefrakkfangirl6094 im personally fine with toxic relationships in shipping. Not because i want them to work out but because its fun to explore the toxic dynamic which the characters have, how it impacts their relationship, and the situations which can happen as a result of their unhealthiness. In shows/media toxic dynamics can be super interesting to explore too since the viewer will be strung along to see the highs and lows of that relationship and theyll be left to watch and wonder if theyll be able to fix things or not
In the case of stolitz however the writers seem to just genuinely be unaware of the fact the relationship is super abusive. Stolitz is advertised as “a couple which has problems” and not “a couple which experiences sexual coercion and abuse”, leading to poor writing and glamorization
I hate how Vivzie tried to write Stolas, a perverted s*x predator taking advantage of a low-class demon, as some misunderstood still-in-the-closet poor rich guy in a dead marriage who just wants to find true love.
stolas shouldve stayed a villain and stoliz should've stayed in the fandom
But that's the thing ab the helluvaverse! Things don't just stay fannon. If it's popular enough, vivzie writes it into the show, bc according to her all fanservice is good
He literally realises that this is bad and grows from that point. The show is aware and points out it should not be like that. It can definitely be argued that it isn't doing the whole thing properly but please do not ignore how it points out that the action is bad and forces the characters to grow and change.
@swe4831 No he doesn't. He blames Blitzo, shames him, compares him with the person that tried to kill him because they're BOTH IMPS and a big ass etcetera. Stolas is a badly written character that needs a pity party every episode he's in to excuse his behavior.

People making that excuse are doing such a disservice to all of the hypersexual people who... don't harass other people. Conditions/circumstances are never an excuse or justification for treating people badly.

Same idea of "if it was straight, people would hate it" applies to Chaggie.
Vaggie is 100% dependant on Charlie, financially, emotionally, in every single way. Vaggie is just "charlie's girlfriend" she has no hobbies, no dreams, no friends, no family, no job, no home, no thoughts outside of her significant other. She doesn't even WANT to get to know anyone but Charlie looking down on everyone else but her girlfriend and the king - her girlriend's dad.
Her songs? All about how much she loves Charlie. Her goals? To help Charlie with hers. She's suppose to be "the protector" of Charlei but that idea is LAUGHABLE when Charlie is more powerfull than her both in status / money as a princess of their entire relm but also in raw physical / magical strenght. Vaggie does NOTHING of value in the entire show, even something that could justify her backstory and make her usefull for the characters and plot - the knowledge of the angels weakness - is given TO HER by someone else. Not to mention she's disabled (which is potrayed AWFULLY btw, as a person blind on one eye I can assure you).
She was found in the lowest moment of her life by Charlie, love at first sight, total dependency in a split second.
Now imagine that everything was the same but Charlie was a guy and Vaggie his girlfriend. People would be RIOTING about how she has no agency, how this dynamic is toxic and limiting female character to an accessory and support for ther loved one. But no, because they are 2 cute girls who always smile at eachother and have 1 argument (caused by the outside forces) that they settle in a no-time it means they are "relationship goals"...
in fact i understand why vaggie didn't tell she was exocist to charlie, if charlie acts badly vaggie would lost everything. plus charlie isn't a great girlfriend she always dismis real concerns from vaggie, plus charlie is nice but not kind andf pretty egocentric. So deep down vaggie knows chasrlie doesn't have her back

Seeing how she acts with angel, she put him aside for new toy(sir pent) and when she helped angel make worst because she acts like she 5. Who come to work place without appointament? disturbing work place? Hasn't she really talked with angel or residences? I mean if residences trust each other is just war simalotor of vaggie. Plus her behavior in embassy she wasn't prapared and she tries to push for project she doesn't have prove. I mean charlie looks better because she put near worst people so she shine. For example if adam was reasonable figure and don't act like idiot he wouldn't listen her because she give lame presentation without prove, plus her project itself cannot work if she don't ally with heaven, which she declares war and if heaven is such horrible place it mean sir pent is going to die/prisoner. Charlie wants everyone follower blindly her without showing true leadeship and true care. Like in fic i read a character told her she cared about sinner like they are cute duck in park. She is completely egocetric with vaggie, yes she is exocist and it is nice she hides, but vaggie was afraind because she is angel in hell without power. I don't mean charlie doesn't want to help, but i see her goodness and project a way to be a hero like her parents because she felt nothing near to her
This can be a good lesson, always ask yourself "If this gay relationship is straight, would it be still okay?" when writing about LGBTQ relationships
Comparing queer relationships to straight ones to know what is right and wrong is homophobic in itself because it implies queer ppl are too stupid to know right from wrong unless the straights theach them with the "proper" relationship. Queer relationships can be just as toxic as straight ones. To imply otherwise is to actively erase a big portion of queer ppl and their voices and provides perfect ammo for actual homophobes that wanna say that queer toxic relationships imply that all queer relationships are fundamentally toxic.
Same with Vaggie and Charlie in hb, vaggie is just obsessed with Charlie and doesn’t really have any personality except for liking Charlie

At least when it comes to a double standard, like excusing abuse just because it's gay- that doesn't make it cute, thats thinking a gay ship can't be horrible when the straight version of it definitely would be!
8:31 dude as someone who struggles with hypersexuality and knows people who struggle with it as well this argument pisses me off beyond belief, I hate it with every fucking fiber in my being. Hypersexsuality doesn't make you sexually harrass or assault people, it doesn't inherently make you act like an asshole to people who don't wanna sleep with you, it doesn't make you a 24/7 horny sex feind. I am so tired of the hypersexual community being characterized this way because not only are those depictions dead wrong, but they downplay our struggles, they dehumanize us, and they basically allow a defense to sexual abusers.
@@novettevezoe as a fellow hypersexual I approve of this message
Real, I'm hypersexual and if anything it makes me self-destructive lol
Im hypersexual
I hate how angel dust is portrayed.
It's okay to draw attention to s/a.
what's not okay is portrayal like angel dust. He is horrible representation. I think the only reason people like huskerdust is because they're gay tbh.
(I'm gay myself, I do not have anything against the lgbt community)
I am hypersexual (cuz of a coping mechanism) gay fem dude just as angel dust is and i absolutely despise angel. Hes not even self destructive hes just a gross human being justifying his actions by saying "but i dont like meself 🥺" like it makes it okay. If Vivzie actually gave a shit about s3xual abuse she could, for exemple, write Angel as someone self-objectifying and dehumanizing himself as a way to falsely get control back from Valentinos abuse, but instead he just, has sex a lot and s3xually harrasses everyone he meets.
@ma_cherri fr. Also, she clearly doesn't care, she constantly sexualizes Val in numerous art peices, and she even joked about angel's SA. Not to mention helluva boss, the show (from what I can remember) she directs, romanticizes Stolas and blitz's relationship despite Stolas coercing Blitz into a sexual relationship, she has also drawn beastiality, and from what I've heard pedophilia.
Vivzie is a gross, gross individual, and I despise her as a person.
Beyond just the overall normaliztation/desensitization of SA, beastiality, p3d0philia, and incest that she perputuats, she is incredibly racist, transphobic, and supports a g3n0cide.

I laughed WAY harder at this than I should’ve-
Angel pawing at Husk and constantly making unwanted sexual remarks bothers the hell out of me. I'm glad Vaggie points out that it's sexual harassment, but it's still played off as a joke most of the time.
I relate to Husk as someone who hates being touched (which is the result of childhood sexual trauma in my case), and he has a lot more patience with Angel's nonsense than I would. I probably would've stabbed Angel in the eye if he kept acting like that towards me.
Imagine how hard-hitting it would've have been if, instead of revealing that he used to be an Overlord, Husk was also a SA victim and that's why he hates Angel's constant boundary pushing. Then Angel would have a moment of clarity and realize that he has subconsciously been mimicking Val, who also disrespects others boundaries. He spends so much time with Val that his behavior is starting to rub off on him.
I think it'd be a neat parallel between someone who copes with sexual trauma by avoiding physical contact and someone who copes by being hypersexual. Also, as the video mentions, being hypersexual does NOT give you a free pass to put your grubby mitts on someone without permission, nor does it make it okay for you to make them uncomfortable with constant flirting and sex talk. Your sexual desires do not come before others comfort. And if you think that makes someone a "prude", then you're probably a creep.
This
Not random commenters writing better scenarios then the actual writers of the show
@ShadowKitty7908 ikr??? I'm punching the fucking air that this wasn't the show we got. This idea has so much depth and would do so much for character development. I need a fanfiction rewrite of this 🚬🗿
@@T.JacobMain EXACTLY! It’s so frustrating cause all the material was right there if the writers just stepped back for a few seconds and thought instead of just “going by the book” or whatever.
Your comment is exactly why I’m a big advocate for writers not writing about serious traumas they haven’t personally experienced, at least not without a proper sensitivity consultant involved. Your rewrite actually gives narrative justification for the inclusion of SA in Angel’s backstory, as the “loser baby” scene really could’ve worked exactly the same if Angel’s issue was just substance abuse, there’s a lot more thematic correlations between a gambling addiction and alcohol/drug addiction.
It’s both inaccurate and insensitive to conflate those addictions to a SA survivor developing hypersexuality and using it to self harm (which is what Angel was trying to do by intentionally accepting a spiked drink). If the story wanted to draw the parallel to the experience of signing away their souls it totally failed as we got no insight into Husk’s experiences of it, only his life prior to it. The writing of this show is just so frustrating bad…
Right now it feels like Angel’s history with SA only exists to be fetishised “whumpee” trauma p*rn. When you look at the Hazbin’s story as a whole, there’s very little narrative or thematic relevance to Angel and Valentino’s plotline beyond a painfully generic “hell is bad”, which in actuality undermines the story’s intended thematic premise about the redeemablity of sinners.
Also, your scene idea would actually give narrative justification to depicting Angel crossing boundaries and sexually harassing Husk all the time. Presently, the story has no justification for it beyond gross fan service/toxic ship teasing.
Viv’s defenders will rationalise its inclusion due to Angel’s past, but the fact is ALL elements of a story are meant to be deliberate and serve a PURPOSE, which that behaviour didn’t, especially considering it has no relevance or pay off in the “loser baby” scene. It wasn’t even addressed as an issue! It gets dropped entirely.
The fact so many fans will use the “but he’s hypersexual!” defence is emblematic of how harmful bad SA survivor rep can be (and again, emblematic of how writers without personal experience do more harm than good when they try to write about this subject), the audience has learned the horrible lesson that “trauma excuses bad behaviour” instead of the more important and complex lesson your scene idea would’ve taught them instead.
“Just because you have trauma it doesn’t give you the right to be a jerk.” This can be said about almost all toxic people in helluverse relationships…you see why that’s a problem?
Oh god I made a paragraph again shit!!😭😭😭
Helluverse fans are honestly so hypocritical. They quickly point out heterosexual abusive/unhealthy relationships, like the one between Stella and Stolas, yet often ignore the problems that plague many of the gay relationships in the shows. Angel constantly sexually harassed the male main characters, specifically Husk, and everybody found it ''cute'' or excused it because he was hypersexual. But if Husk was a woman, almost all the fans would be calling Angel creepy and disgusting for what he did. Same with Stolitz, if Blitz was a woman, people would not be trying to justify and downplay the terrible things Stolas has done to him. And would actually be calling him out, rather than pretending or convincing themselves that it’s acceptable. The fetishism of gay relationships among the fans of these shows is really disturbing.

That's bc it's supposed to be a joke in the show (still not good though). But women irl bet harassed and sexualised ALL the time, r*pe isn't rare and most men watch p*rn where women get degraded. The joke wouldn't land at all bc women have been historically oppressed and still get harmed by straight men.
That's why people react differently, but I aggree that this dynamic shouldn't be seen as romantic or good.
@@risforrandomandrandomisme762I mean, Blitz and Stella don't even know each other apart from the part where Blitz ran away with the Grimoire, so I can see why fans prefer the other one
The main reason ppl ship them is the fetishization of mlm pairings in media, you perfectly described the whole “if the roles were reversed “ argument perfectly
Nah even of the roles were reversed I would not carr
The plot of apology tour is basically like if in that bar scene in hazbin husk was portrayed as in wrong for kind of yelling at angel and angel faced no responsibility for his harrasment whatsoever.
Which is almost what happens but still
Its funny to me how stolas cries like a baby in apology tour on how he just wants love, but he fed up his already toxic relationship with blitz by ignoring the fact that he made the whole thing about lust and never told blitz about his feelings, he had love and he throw it away just to not admit his mistakes, that shows you how narcisistic stolas is
To me Apology Tour need to happen because was supposed to be an eye opening moment Blitzo to show how his actions effected people specifically Verosika and Stoles two people that he had a some form of a deep connection with but the way the writers went about it was fucking stupid because it made Stoles look like a crybaby bitch because his expectations he had Blitzo didn’t become what he wanted and Verosika a character who he should sympathize with and has as ever right to angry at Blitzo for what did to her still acting like spiteful vengeful bitch because she hold yearly hate parties where people stab, hang, and burn effigies of Blitzø also saying he should kill himself and telling the audience that this is coping no that shit absolutely toxic I don’t write were smoking when they were making this shit
AP is just the writers being like "We need to show that Blitzø is an asshole who ruins life’s, but like REALLY show it" I’ve heard that it was written years ago, but it feels so weird and lazy that it really feels like a last minute decision, and what’s worse is that it doesn’t even make sense
If Blitzø is someone who doesn’t believe he can be loved, why would he be in so many meaningful relationships, besides why would that many people wanna date Blitzø is he’s such an ahole 🙈.
We need an episode like this where Stolas realizes where he's wrong, but it's more about him deprogramming classism. Actually we need an entire arc dedicated to Stolas realizing how classist he is.
Stolas is just a glorified valentino, and you can't convince me of thinking otherwise

@@mr.hayaibear He pretty much used all arguments against himself and pushed all the blame on Blitz which is very dissapointing and makes me think he is egocentric - always thinking about himself, not others. He honestly is the perfect definition of an egocentric character because most stereotypes show all egocentric people to be "evil" and "never sympathetic" which isn't true - atleast not all the time. I just believe that them breaking up and parting ways would've worked better because they both clearly aren't suited to be with eachother. And yes, it's very annoying how the show writers keep babying him prettty much and acting like he was the "victim of it all".
It's like some awful rich white guy going "my little minority"
That scene where Angel Dust throws the broken bottle at Husk and is like "You'd be lucky if I came onto you!" feels like a villain rant to me.
Like this is something an R-Rated Gaston would do to Belle after she rejected him.
Scenes like that don't make me pity Angel Dust or want him to get better, they make me think *"Wow. This guy is a fucking asshole. I want to see him get the shit beat out of him because he's using his own pain as an excuse to hurt someone else."*
That's what villains do.
Angel Dust is not a victim in that scene, in that scene he's a villain.
To be fair on angel dust... he IS trying to get out of his contract. It doesn't excuse his behavior but the abuse and drugs he's on DO explain why he's the type to be chaotic and unpredictable. He has to take alot so he covers up that pain in hyper sexual tendencies [a real thing. People in rl who have been sexually abused are more likely to be more sexual or not at all.]
Husk should be terrified but no one terrifies an ex overlord more than Alistor. So what Angel does only makes him mad at most and disgusted but not scared.
Angel even showed a normal side to him for once when he finally let his walls down around Husk and against when he stood up against the blind moth bastard.
Angel is deliberately written this way because it fits for what he's gone through and what people in abused relationships/growing up in those scenarios had to deal with. You just stop letting people in and hide everything but lash out/shut down when people try to get you to "stop pretending" [you know.. that thing Husk CALLED OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!]
Well, Husk used to be an Overlord, I'm sure he went thru a lot of stuff, It makes sense he only got mad and nothing else. But honestly? Your point Is valid. Yeah, Angel Is hypersexual because of his condition, but he should've def apologized on episode 4 or afterwards tbh
@@rigboy1234 Well we shouldn't assume what Husk did as an Overlord without it being shown to us.
Angel's Hypersexuality has been criticised by many actual people who are themselves Hypersexual for being a poor representation of their condition.
The problem is that Angel's acts of sexually harassing Husk are played for laughs. It only becomes a source of drama when Angel is called out, before that it's meant to be funny.
@@nobody-xh6ii The issue with that is that Angel Dust's acts of being hypersexual are played for laughs, him sexually harrassing Husk and making uncomfortable sexual remarks to those around him. If the show wants us to take his condition seriously it does a very poor job of it.
Many actual people who struggle with Hypersexuality have criticised Angel Dust's depiction as being an offensive stereotype that does not realistically portray the condition. A good chunk of the story plays it off like a funny character quirk and not the serious mental illness that it is.
Husk's feelings shouldn't be downplayed because he is a victim of Angel Dust's acts of sexual harassment, just because the show mostly plays his disgust for laughs shouldn't be used to downplay what he's subjected to.
Because the writers do play hypersexuality for drama when it's Angel Dust being sexually assaulted by Valentino. But not when it's Husk being sexually harassed by Angel Dust.
Also Angel Dust never really apologises to Husk for his behaviour.
@@PlanetZoidstar (This is a long comment) Yeah, i don't think hypersexuality caused by any form of SA should be turned into jokes. As an SA victim, I felt pretty grossed out by those scenes that were meant to be "funny" and made me feel worse about my condition. It kinda felt like they were saying we would be more likely to harass our friends or other people around us because of the horrible things we experienced, that's how it came off to me anyway. Honestly, stuff like this needs to be handled with more care without sugar-coating everything and needs to be taken seriously. And not like the Sir Pentious being assaulted scene that was...also made for laughs. Suddenly if it's not Angel, it's somehow "funny". I'll even take a jab at Stolitz where Stolas s*xually harasses and manipulates Blitzo and they are played off for laughs... Viv and the team also love to torture Blitzo(all the scenes with him just give me flashbacks since my life looks like that too(same with angel except I don't do the adult film stuff)) while they paint Stolas as an uwu victim, and they are somehow going to be end game which...doesn't make any sense at all. I will even jab at Verosika who s*xually assaulted Moxxie all because she has this grudge against Blitzo, which isn't justifiable(her being angry at him makes sense, i guess, but the rest is just...why?), and that was played off as a joke, and they paint her as an uwu victim too, meanwhile she is actively attacking him and his co-workers. As much as the enjoyable stuff is actually good to watch and sometimes take a break from real life to chill or relax, the rest of these two shows are godawful. I'm not even a writer professionally, and even I know that the way these are being written is worse than godawful. It's like they saw all the SA and harassment gags/jokes in cartoons and anime and said, "why not do that here" knowing full well that most don't find them funny anyway for obvious reasons. I really hope the team does better, but at this point, it's wishful thinking and getting my hopes up is a waste.. Like the title of this video, most of the fandom(I think) would hate these ships if they were straight, because somehow it's worse if people of the opposite sex do it, but people of the same sex doing it, it's fine and dandy and normal. My trauma got dismissed like that often because a girl assaulted me, but I'd be in the wrong because "well she's a lesbian and you'd be painting all innocent lesbians as evil, so she's pure hearted", but if I said a man did it, then I'd be in the right because "they are evil" or one of those poor dumb excuses people love to make. Make it make sense. Justice for Sir Pentious in the chat!(I'm not letting that go) Sorry this is long-
Seriously, Stolas is such an abusive partner, how is Stella the villain again? Oh right, the stupid retcon in S2.

@@exoskelepathy Originally it was implied that while their marriage was loveless it wasn’t outright abusive until Blitz came along (Via mentioned that when she was a kid her parents didn’t hate each other).

I’m not surprised a lot of the shippers aren’t getting the double standards most of the shippers I’ve seen are kids who, even if they could learn, aren’t going to because of the adults in the community telling them that this is correct representation
Yuuup. It's really sad.
What you mean by correct representation tho? Like the kids believe gay people act like that on real life or you just mean they like ships that are distasteful to you? Bc if it's the first well yeah then they gotta learn about consent and abusive dynamics right now, if it's the second tho what's the problem? They can like whatever, shipping it's not social activism or a serious matter, some might ship really messed up stuff like idk incst (WHICH I HATE GROSS AF) but honestly unless they try to replicate that on real life it's not that deep, shipping doesn't reflect who you are on real life, someone shipping stolitz (which is a stupid ass ship in my mind 😂) doesn't make them bad people by doing so, they would be if they treat others badly or are bigoted that's for sure, but I feel a lot get really pressed about certain ships being popular when in reality it's not a problem beyond the fact that it bothers you, sometimes you gotta see a ship and realize people playing pretend with their imaginary dolls kissing shouldn't bother you that much, much less if you personally don't work producing either fics or fanart
The fact that the voice actors for Blitz and Stolas (Brandon Rogers and Bryce Pinkham) find Stoliz a cute ship from what I heard really makes me think that the voice actors for helluva boss don't watch the show they're auditing for lol

@@Sourle3fin addition to this, Stolas’ VA is actually really good at reading him as being a douchey weirdo who’s never really experienced legitimately healthy relationships before
I think a huge problem with Stolitz is the shift to the writers(including Brandon btw OP is absolutely correct about his view on this ship it’s so gross) playing it straight rather than what it actually is: two people who are too used to abuse to stray from the path and who need to become better separately
also also if you want Stolitz but not gross just look up A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,,

Husk + Angel Dust was weird to me. It felt more like Husk was an older man when Angel was younger?
And then Stella got nerfed SO BAD into classic evil abusive partner to make everyone feel bad for stolas and baby him
There is another, equally terrible aspect to this as well. If Angel or Stolas was a woman, when people would talk about male Blitzo or Husk, people would be saying "I wish that were me" or "Man, they really are lucky". I don't watch much anime, but I know this is a huge problem when it comes to female on male gr*pe becase the female is always hot in anime, and a lot of time, the scene is framed to sexualize the female, which takes attention off how terrible the thing actually happening is. And of course, everyone is apalled when it's a man doing it to a woman. It really is sad how people just act like it's a quirky thing, but ONLY when it's in a gay relationship.

i can literally never criticise gay relationships for fear of being called homophobic, yet somehow i feel like its MUCH worse to baby people who are queer and not call them out for bad relationship behaviours. Queer relationships can be just as horrendously bad as Straight ones. this situation kind of reminds me of how most people argue against feminism, saying its just an excuse to ‘let women get away with anything’ when thats not it. true equality is to treat EVERYONE and EVERYTHING with the same amount of respect AND skepticism if its appropriate/applicable. i think people just seem to think ‘omg a woman and a woman or a man and a man, they MUST be able to be in a healthy relationship since they’re the same gender hahah’. im a girl whose had a gf before and i cannot stress enough that id never get back in a relationship with her. shes changed now and i’m proud of her for that, but our friends still act weird about the fact we both dated and they still give off ‘UWU g-girl x girl…?’ vibes even though is been years.
in short cause i ended up ranting (oops), the best way to respect queer people is to literally not treat them like they're different. Because they're not. Bad people are bad people and bad behavior is bad behavior. Regardless of who it's done to or who is the predator.
Good point
Exactly! It’s difficult to ever give criticism because people will immediately deflect and accuse you of being homophobic, even if you have a valid point to make. I’ve seen it many times before, especially in the case of Stolitz with this fandom. Just because a relationship features two characters of the same gender, it isn’t automatically the best, healthiest choice to be rooting for. A gay relationship can be toxic just like how a straight relationship can be toxic. Some people are terrible and their orientation shouldn’t excuse them of that.
This is how I feel about Bubbline. Bubblegum went free with so much shit and one of those was treating Marceline like she was stupid and verbally abusing her. Yelling to your black girlfriend that's ashamed of her vampirism that she's a "monster" and still end up with her because you're a lesbian is something that made me so mad because Marceline deserved better.
What was the difference between Ash treating Marceline like shit Vs PB treating her like shit? That she's a lesbian, pink and cute and cute lesbians that are pink can't do no wrong? C'mon!
And you can't say this because then you're homophobic. Me, the gay trans man, homophobic cuz I'm tired of lowkey abusive queer relationships being portrayed as cute and innocent
People seem to cling to the idea that identity is the cause of everything. "Trans bad because trans is predator", "gay people can do no wrong" etc. Like no, we are human beings, who HAPPEN to HAVE AN IDENTITY, and can be good or bad regardless of that? It's not a cause. Its just who that person is regardless of the actions they make. I'm LGBT and I used to be a horrible person, and I've been in terrible abusive LGBT relationships... its like we're not people to them but little characters or "the good identity" or we are "the bad identity". Such goofy, childish thinking.
wdnt it be more homophobic to NOT criticize queer relationships at all? since youre technically treating them differently than how you would treat and view straight relationships. isnt the whole point of the pride movement equality and having equal rights? its completely redundant if they were to be treated special or different by society.

i hate that ppl don't take abusive relationships seriously when it's anything other than man-on-woman. a huge example of this is she-ra. there isn't any SA in the show, but catra is emotionally and physically abusive towards adora and they still end up together in the end. if catra was a man, nobody would like this ship. but since they're both women, apparently it's okay??
i'm a sapphic (omni specifically) woman and my ex girlfriend was a lot like catra and stolas. nobody took me very seriously when i told them that she had hit me and once coerced me into sleeping with her. i feel like they'd take me more seriously if she was a man.
this absolutely. i relate so much to Adora as someone who used to have a friend like Catra and it's so invalidating to see people defending her.
they'll defend Catra by saying that she has BPD and it really sucks because they're basically saying that being abusive is naturally a part of having BPD. and if it was confirmed that she has it then that's gotta be the worst representation of a cluster B disorder i have ever seen.
Blitzo and Husk deserve better than to be paired up with their ''cute little gay boyfwiends'' because dear lord, like this video states, if they were women, there would be outrage.
Which means that, women or not, the situation is clearly bad and both need out. Its not bad to write these sorts of relationships with the intent of displaying how toxic they truly are,
breaking the duo apart and then showcasing how they heal and move on (or don't) from the situation. Vivzie just includes them cuz, I dunno, k!nky or whatever.
I think PILOT HuskerDust and Instagram Stolitz had a healthier idea of what it wanted to be.
Absolutely like there was a clear level of respect with the two and Husk was very clearly willing to do things for Angel and even went out to dinner at one point with him and Fat Nuggets
Funny how assault is only treated as a bad thing when it's the antagonists doing it, but when the protagonists do it, it's just their relationship dynamic! Oh, and most of the perpetrators are queer. How very interesting. What did Vivziepop mean by this?
The funny think is that is not always the case, lets not forget that there is a joke about sir pentious getting gang-r in hazbin hotel

This is my new favorite comment lmfao thank you very much
PFFF WHAT
I'm gonna go a step further, and say if these were lesbian ships people would hate them even more, the community as a whole is so starved for male on male represnation they are clinging to vizie's shitty writing
plus yaoi is more popular than yuri in fandom circles like these
@@faveless and most of the popularity is due to straight girls, who have a yaoi fetish.
@valentinkambushev4968 nail on the head right there
i didn't even think about that but damn you're 100% correct. oof
Particularly so within the context of the Hellaverse given how allergic Viv is to actually writing women that doesn’t just boil them down to ‘bitchy abuser’ ‘slut’ or ‘love interest’. Even the main sapphic ship is still painfully devoid of any real passion bc the most we get is like a couple of chaste kisses and the odd mention that they’re girlfriends, in comparison to the variety of mlm ships that do at least *try* to focus on different aspects of romance and sex (until they inevitably get pushed into the ‘top = big and masc and bottom = dainty small and effeminate’ box)
Even Hazbin, the show that Viv outright stated was meant to be ‘female focused’ after people pointed out how Millie and Loona didn’t seem to have any character development, *still* prioritises all the male cast over Charlie and Vaggie in terms of episode focus and overall plot. Not to mention how her version of Heaven is genuinely just Hell but with a blue/gold palette, idk how she messed up the most basic concept when she got it well executed in the C.H.E.R.U.B episode of HB, with the only real difference being that apparent angels are homophobic in the Hellaverse bc Hell = cool queer sex place and Heaven = stuck-up pearl clutching prudes (but ignore Adam making constant innuendos and swearing, that’s not bad character writing bc sex and swearing is Le Epic Funni)
Back on the hater grind!
I always found it so funny how everybody hated Stella when Stolas was probably the same, somebody desperately needs to save Blitzo from this writing jeez 😭
Blitz is s*xually harassing his workers all the time too though and doesn't respect the boundaries of moxxie and millie
Blitz is an Harrasers too tho.
(Ok but the irony of having a madoka X homura pfp I have to point it out)

The whole thing about fandoms having a double standard when it comes to gay ships (especially male x male ships because fujoshis are crazy) is so true, like there's a ship in a fandom I'm in between an autistic character and the guy who's regularly ableist to him, and barely anyone has an issue with the ship because they're both dudes

But ton at GL and yuri is literally wholesome couple activities.
I swear, I seen people defending Loveles, Boku No Pico, Bitch Club and Underground Idol, but get mad on people that watches Redo Healer, Dragon Maid or Gushing over Magical Girls.
It's really hard to find Yaoi manga or anime where gay couples are not that horny fliping each others, but acts more like wholesome cpuples.
@@anetepaulakrinicka7830And it's not like being horny is bad, because we're humans and humans have sex and feel sexually aroused. The issues are how these people sexualize rape, abuse, sexual power imbalances, etc.
Let's work out a compromise for the HuskerDust shippers.
How about this? Angel realises what he's done to Husk, apologies, does his best to make up for it and always asks consent or makes sure Husk is okay when he tries anything romantic. Husk appreciates his efforts, but after the hurt and assault he can't just forgive him and fall in love. Angel understands, though a little frustrated (like anyone would be if rejected) and they stay close friends who help eachother. Angel still has some romantic feelings for Husk, but doesnt act on them, and Husk eventually admits his feelings in the future. Though excited, Angel and Husk take it slowly and always make sure the other one is comfortable before doing anything, and they both set some boundaries in place. There. Sound good?
Sounds amazing tbh

hey! actual hypersexual person here! And personally, i absolutly hate the excuse of angel being hypersexual for husk's abuse. It's simple disgusting how people use a serius thing as hypersexuality to excuse angel's acts.
as a former bully i want to say im sorry for whatever you went though.
it took years for me to apologise for hurting the other kids in my neighborhood and i STILL almost 40 years later hate myself for it.
and whats worse is i used to justify it in my head that because my mother beat me and spit on me that i should do the same to others, what i did was awful and on behalf of your bully im sorry for what happened nobody should have to bullied. ever.
i was a asshole and i know when i die im going to burn for eternity, but that doesn't mean i should let things go on without making amends.
just because im going to hell doesn't mean i can't or shouldn't make things right.
@@AngelOfNoMercy thanks for your apology, although it’s really not yours to give, you didn’t bully me. Honestly, I think the most important thing after doing something wrong like this is accountability, which Angel does not have. Not once has he expressed remorse for the way he treated Husk or apologized for it. So the fact that you’re apologizing and actually feel guilty about it shows that you’ve changed into a much better person.
so once again im sorry for what happen whatever it is, even if your bully wont say it I will, nobody should go though bullying and im sorry for it.
@ well I wouldn’t be so sure that you’re going to hell- I mean personally idk what I believe in anymore but I’ve always thought hell is reserved for the worst of the worst. Yk like m*lestors and stuff

Honestly even if we made this into a straight relationship people would still defend it cause I’ve seen it happen on webtoon where fans of web comics with clearly toxic female on men or toxic men on women as romantic. Like there was this one comic where a lady literally drugged and forced herself onto her male childhood friend and said how she own him and the girls in the comments was like “so romantic or GIRLBOSS” it’s so weird don’t get me started on the princess’s jewels that dumpster fire
Well
He was talking about if Blitzø and Hisk were women specifically.
@ yeah I know but still my point still stands some people would think that it’s hot or that sexy. Because some people romanticize those types of ships no matter what gender
Writers try to make a healthy mlm romance challenge (impossible)
the only healthy mlm romance in Viv's work is Josh and Ace, who haven't even had two lines
yes. this is the result of lack of representation, ppl will take anything they can get.
My boyfriend is hypersexual and he would NEVER do anything to anyone without consent. Being hypersexual doesn't mean you "can't control yourself"
Hypersexuality is grossly misrepresented.
I really wish they had kept Stolas as the villain of the show. I mean, could you imagine how badass of a villain he’d make? Constantly gaslighting blitz and using his trauma against him. Having a decent backstory that explains but doesn’t justify his actions. And his relationship with Stella could be a sort of “There both equally terrible so they deserve each other” sort of gag. With Octavia eventually telling them both off. Have striker be the love interest instead. Blitz clearly was more attracted to him lol

Omg thank you. As a sapphic, I’ve always disliked Catadora because of how abusive and down right sadistic Catra was. The show tried to give her a redemption arc by the end but it felt too rushed to me. She either should’ve stayed the main villain or had a redemption arc sooner in the show. Also I feel like Adora always saw Catra as a sister, so their kiss at the end of the show felt so weird to me.

8:57 thank you for featuring my comment! I 100% agree with your take on both ships. That's basically the main reason I legit stopped caring about both HB and HH. Seeing Blitz so destroyed over "breaking up" with his abuser, and knowing they will eventually get together despite all the bs and abuse, made me so extremely uncomfortable. It's giving Stockholm Syndrome, not soul mates. 😭
Can we also talk about how tragic ghostfuckers is? Like even though stolas isn’t in this episode it shows better then any other his privilege and how much much he was broken blitz down. Like I didn’t see this as a “blitz is just sad cuz he wuved him plot” I see it as someone who was so abused they were gaslit into thinking they were the problem and someone who’s spirit has been crushed by their abuser. Millie and her thinking she was worth nothing but being the muscle and being shocked blitz even owned a business just drilled in how privileged and spoiled stolas is. Stolas defenders here, please tell me how you honest to god think that’s love and not a tragic story of abuse
Imo, l think Stolitz is a mutually shitty relationship. I think they both treat each other badly, and we should stop trying to say who's worse, because they both messed up.
I admit, l used to ship them, but now I'm just relieved whenever I see an episode that's not Stolitz centered.
Since l know Viv is desperate to make them canon, l think first we need to have Stolas actually realise how badly he treated Blitz, because Blitz himself is already self-aware of what he's done. Stolas however, is not.
And l wish I could say it's because he's so sheltered and deeply unaware of how his actions affect others, or how the real world works, which would make him a lot less unbearable, and also make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, Viv seems desperate to make him and Angel incapable of facing consequences, which sucks.
@@Yoimiya_Lover29 Yeah blitz is an awful person but when it comes to stolitz the sexual assault makes me think it’s more one sided the both being just mutually wrong.
@@Yoimiya_Lover29 I disagree. Stolas has power, is a species that's seen as the most important, has money, etc. There's a power imbalance, right? Then we start to see that Stolas has a race kink and not any other race but the one that's so poor that even the thought of said race having personal business it's rare as fuck and what does Stolas do about it? He sexualizes it.
He sees Blitzo being small and the race he is as hot + loves to give him undermining "pet names" related to his race. He reads erotic books about imps right in front of his daughter and he also just goes about how imps are little creatures, oh so cute, but also not capable of things and abuses them physically...like any other Goetia does with their butler imps even if Stolas himself said he doesn't see Blitzo as less when Blitzo was mad that he, indeed, saw imps as inferior + he compared him to Striker because they're BOTH imps. His dad bought Blitzo for him for fucks sake! How's that mutually abusive? And don't even get me started in the manipulation tactics and then acting like what he wanted was more that Blitzo to fuck him to then flip the tables and gaslight Blitzo into thinking he was the pervert, sex-crazed one.
To be mutual it has to be in equal ground and it definitely isn't in equal ground and never was.
@@Neganerd Hi! I absolutely agree with what you're saying that Stolas is definitely worse, and I realise that I worded my comment wrong. I do believe Stolitz is toxic on both sides, and that Blitz is not completely innocent either, *however* I also agree that Stolas is definitely worse, and I wish Viv would bring light to that
@@Yoimiya_Lover29 “mutually shitty” when one person sexually exploits the other guy lmfao. Is angelval mutually shitty too because Angel dust is mean to valentino
Absolutely hate Huskerdust as a romantic ship. Just because two men get along, it doesn't mean they have to date and fall in love. Husk has repeatedly shown multiple times that he is uncomfortable with Angel's advancements. And it's upsetting that viv has stated they are a slow burn couple.
I wonder if the writing would’ve been different if S1 had more episodes or longer episodes
@rebeccacourtney5286 well it definitely would have been. But I understand the struggles.
This is why I'd have much preferred it if Huskerdust had remained a purely platonic ship myself! It'd would've been so neat to see two MLM become platonic bros since honestly I highly doubt we're getting that from anyone else in the show but nope, apparently sex and romance are the law of the land even when they override even basic logic. :/
@@spencerpetunia8268 it's really frustrating. I love the inclusivity of the different sexualities and the different kinds of romantic relationships but I just can't get behind why everything needs to be a sexual relationship. It's something that frustrates me in fandoms and especially so when the creator acts that way. Men can be friends, gay men can be friends. Anyone can be friends. It's so frustrating and honestly makes me dislike the show a bit.
@@tr42h26 ME TOO! Especially as someone who has no real interest in sex, romance, or dating, the insistence of all these shows on shoehorning sex and romance even in places it makes no real sense is VERY annoying.
The biggest problem with these two ships is how forced they feel as hell, it's not even a "slow-burn". Blitzø, Stolas and Angel should learn to be single instead of dating right away, or whatever.
mostly because it was a last minute decision. until around around season 2 stolas was intended to be an antagonist but because brandon thought they'd be a cute ship they did a hard turn on the writing. so stolas was being written as an antagonist and then hard stopped to be written as a protagonist.
@jroxpone nah that's disgusting, especially the favors for favors thing. It also ruined Stolas's Character for me. He's a way better villain than an actual Love interest
@@laurav5767 It doesn’t work for him to shift roles midway; he has to be either a protagonist or an antagonist consistently. When the writing suddenly flips from antagonistic to positive, it undermines the character's foundation, making it feel like a worse toxic then it would have been if he was just a bad guy. If he had been written positively from the start, we’d likely see him differently. But those early predatory lines wouldn’t exist if he were truly a protagonist, and that inconsistency makes it feel wrong.
@jroxpone His Instant Character Change felt forced and weird. I Liked the idea of Stolas being a Male Version of Makima. Well- too Bad…
@@laurav5767 yeeaa, If a context where they intended for Stolas to evolve from antagonist to protagonist, it would need a different approach. He could start by treating Blitz condescendingly as a privileged, snooty character, doing as he pleases. Over time, he’d realize he’s developing genuine feelings-a struggle for him, as he’s never experienced real romantic attachment, causing him to fall into it clumsily and mishandle his emotions. which could lead to a similar fall out in the show that makes more sense for how toxically its handled. there needs to be emphasis on all the flaws. stolas first most needs to be a antagonist who's hitting his internal conflict but not turning on a dime. and even then i don't think they'd be good together after any revelations. there needs to be time of being single to work out all that baggage. go to therapy moment.
In reality this is like micro-homophobia. Because you know deep down anyone who says it’s “ok cause it’s gay” only sees our sexuality as a trope and not something real. It’s so frustrating!!
Top ten reasons why I dislike the LGBTQ+ community ,underlining the word community because it’s one of the most toxic communities I’ve seen.

And
As a hypersexual person myself, the excuse of Angel's action disgust me. We aren't monster who need sex all the time and harass people ! And I'm a pretty flirty person too, but I can take a hint ! Angel is narcissist and it has nothing to do with his trauma.
The hypersexuality excuse is so disgusting, actually. Using trauma as an excuse for disgusting behavior is just plain wrong. Sure, it can explain it, but it's not an excuse. Angel should still be held accountable for not controlling himself and not realizing that he's making people uncomfortable. The person who commented that should do some serious soul searching. Hypersexuality is already very misunderstood. We do not need people feeding into the narrative that hypersexuality makes ppl SA other ppl. That comment is GENUINLY so harmful and insensitive it disgusts me. Great video, ppl srsly need to realize that they're spitting straight bs
Expalinging behavior is not endorsing it. You guys seriously don't listen to what ppl say. Neither are hypersexual ppl a monolyth. Angel is written as a flawed character that copes in unhealthy ways. That is the point. It's not always about you. If you need morality lessons be shoved down your throat to understand what good or bad means watch my little pony.
@@takke9830 theres literally a comment in the video where someone says that it "isnt his fault that he sexually harrasses husk because he is hypersexual." That is excusing disgusting behaviour. I get that angel is a flawed person, they're in hell, but excusing sexual harassment with hypersexuality is disgusting
@ i‘m sorry but acting like everyone does that because some random apparently said that is ridiculous. The show never endorses his behavior. If you wanna blame the show for how some fans talk about it you are being unreasonable af. And no. Saying: „he‘s acting like that cause he‘s hypersexual“ is not saying that it‘s an excuse. You made that up. You want that to the take of everyone you don‘t agree with but it isn‘t. If it was it‘d be something like: „he‘s hypersexual so his behavior is fine.“ as the general consensus. wich is not what is happening here.
This is the problem with you guys. You cannot read and comprehend other‘s words, you make up arguments that nobody argued for or some tiny minority does that doesn‘t matter, and you lie and cheat to be „right“. If you wanna be right so bad maybe don‘t manipulate your opponents words so you can change their argument into something you can actually argue against cause the real argument does not fit your argument reaponse. Calm down, stop being aggressively weird about adult TV shows, and stop acting like random idiots online represent a whole fandom or the creators of said show.
@takke9830 I never said that everyone says that, but even then a lot of people do. You'd be surprised. Also, just because you dont see people doing it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. At 8:38 there's a comment where someone says "And he's hypersexual so it's not even his fault, great character" not even his fault implies that it's not his fault that he sexually harrasses people which is untrue. It IS his fault. And I never blamed the show? I would love to know where you got that from cuz I purely talked about the fans. I can read and comprehend words, I dont know the same about you however. I never fucking lied or made up anything. and if you paid attention to the video you would know that. And where did I say that these idiots represent the fandom or the showrunners?? YOU are putting words into MY mouth. Accusing me of making up arguments, when the comment I talked about is literally in the video and saying that I blamed the fandom or the showrunners when one idiot says smth stupid when I never said that. I also never said that the show itself excuses his behavior. If you read my initial comment you would see that I say that the PERSON should rethink. I call out ONE person. Not the fandom or the show. I never said that the entire fandom excuses it nor the show or showrunners.
@@takke9830 i think the issue lies with when and why it's said, like let's use real life if you are holding a man accountable for verbally sexually harassing women and someone goes "well he's hypersexual.." like ok? I don't think you realize how harmful this narrative is to people with hypersexuality, hypersexuality doesn't affect your morals so if he wasn't okay with his sexually harrassive behavior than he wouldn't have done it the way he did. So yeah people are gonna turn heads when you guys mention this in this context because it makes you look uneducated at best and problematic at worst. Also the reason why people are so hung up with angel's character arc, is that he was given the kiddie gloves, like for example, Bojack horseman does well because it can acknowledge trauma while still not treating the mc any different simply because of it, bojack horseman gets the same consequence as he would have got if he were a villain. Angel dust is different because everyone just forgives angel even though he spent a good portion of the show being awful and crossing boundaries that people have constantly set up. But everything suddenly is fine because husk and angel had a "hey don't do that >:( that's wrong" episode and everything's fine afterwards? Now *that's* more my little pony-esque to me idk
I HAVE HELD THIS OPINION FOR YEARS!! People would be PISSED if Blitz was a woman and it makes me so upset that people can’t see how gross it is since they’re both men
When I was in middle school I was friends with a guy who watched Helluva, and he treated me similarly to how Stolas treats Blitz. Constantly making comments about my body like asking me how much I weigh, my bra size, and telling his other friend how bad he wanted to see me without clothes (which I only know because one of my friends overheard their loud conversation and told me), but me, being autistic and lonely, accepted it as normal behavior because that’s what I was taught by the show. He tried to ask me out multiple times when we were friends, and I repeatedly told him that I was not interested in a relationship because I’m aroace and not in a good headspace (which was due to his comments) but he still pushed himself onto me quite literally. My friend was talking about him, since he moved before high school, couple months ago and turned to me to tell me that “He was an asshole to you, (name). I’m not sure why you stayed as long as you did” and when I asked what was wrong they listed everything he did that they knew of, and something clicked in my head. I realized that he wasn’t treating me right despite how I felt about it, and I soon realized how bad the show portrayed these relationships (whether it’s romantic or not). Everything he did to me was pushed away because I was queer so it “didn’t count” if a man harassed me even if I’m noticeably AFAB and because he had a bad home life. I’m sorry to anyone whose experience was worse than mine with these people, and some people need to know that this is not healthy, not matter the gender of the people involved.

Nah, technically you can be bi lesbian or bi gay. Like, biromantic and homosexual. If Alastor shippers can... well, exist, then this ship is valid, too.
Apparently, that was the original ship, I would have loved to see it rather than Charlie x Vaggie, personally. I could hardly be convinced they were meant to be girlfriends until they told us.
@@SaintofStone I love seeing a lesbian couple as the main protagonists for once 😭 But Angel and Vaggie would be interesting dynamic wise. Charlie and Vaggie are very cute, but the show doesn't make it look very deep or interesting what's between them.
Honestly I like that ship as because it LITERALLY HAS MORE CHEMISTRY THAN CHAGGIE. The main relationship! Also Angel seems like he does better with banter than (rejection) from.husker. I wish Huskerdust was more friendship as to me husker feels more as a friend.
I hate both ships especially stolitz not just cause its toxic but the ship has hijacked the show
Honestly HB should have stuck to its premise, the show does have enjoyable moments when it's not about stolitz
Should've stuck with making Stolas the antagonist and not to ship him and Blitz together, it honestly ruined the show
@@Maytrixwasheree If I remember correctly, Viv and the other guy in charge for writing the show even stated that they made changes because they liked the ship.
@@llice1681 and didn't even make it healthy 😭🙏
At this point and somehow Viv turned the show into a fanfic in itself
That's pretty disappointing of her, her writing went Downhill.
I never realized how bad the ships were. Thanks for this video, I definitely won't be shipping HuskerDust and Stolitz now!!
I'm an asexual woman, and seeing Angel harrasing Husk makes me really uncomfortable tbh
I think that people don't dismiss these toxic behaviours in lgbtq relationships in Media because they reinforced negative stereotypes that people tend to favour, like "man can't possibly be victims of sexual assault" or romanticising and fetishizing gay relationships for the sake of their own twisted fantasies and desire.
This is especially harmful when LGBT people and youth use these toxic queer relationships as an example for how queer relationships are supposed to function 💔.
In this community I have observed that the people who have problems with how Vivienne writes characters manly tend to be queer people whale people who defend these walking homosexual OwO stereotypes are mostly "allies" and the small minority.
These tend to be the same allies that won't let you speak a single criticism towards the show without proving to them that you have either been sexually assaulted or that you yourself are gay ("gay enough"). Which is disgusting behaviour.
Also I'm a gay.
I'm so happy to hear your words about subs being able to abuse and harass. I myself was gaslighted and manipulated into doing the things I didn't want to and nobody takes it seriously because I was the dom. And what's interesting is that the person who did this was really into toxic yaoi and shitty BLs and it showed in how they acted. Wouldn't be surprised if they were a Stolaz fan as well.
@@psoltiivan THIS!! I’m so sorry that happened to you istg people are fucking disgusting
@imgalxe That's why I dislike the narrative "it's just fiction" as well. It puts really hurtful ideas in people's heads. I won't get into details, but a lot of the things they did and say were like the typical toxic nonsense from manhwas and wattpad stories. And they didn't see the problem with it, they thought it was hot.
(Holy shit, you're literally Giorno Giovanna, I'm subscribed now).
It's another interesting thing I've seen where if you make Stolas a woman and Blitz a man, then the relationship will also get infantilized. Because so many people don't believe that women can be abusers in straight relationships.
In the new ep that came out( S2 ep 10) they have a moment where blitzø is feeling bad for "hurting" stolas, and they show a moment from the ozzies ep,the moment when bltzø finaly stand up for himself and said "no stolas i am not fucking you tonight,i am better them this" so they ate sending the messege that if you are a person being abuse by someone and you stoud up for yourself agains your abuser, YOU are the PROBLEM. After ep 10 im dropping this show for good this is getting out of control it was still fun to watch to see how bad the writing gets and see the only good stuff that the show still has but as someone who has been in a abusive relationship just like stolitzø this is a slap in the face ane giving the fact that the helluva fandom is mostly young teens or young adults,this is the worse messege you could sent to you young and unexperience fandom.
REAL.
Even after the fall of helluva boss i still have strong feelings for ozzies, becouse i love the stuff that ep talks about,the way they show how society romantecises toxic relationships and shame good health couples in the moment asmodeus shames moxie and millie and the way they show that you should give yourself value and stand of for your abuser, the moment when blitzø realises that stolas doesn't have even a little bit of love for him to the point of hiding his face and them finaly called him out and stoud up for himself was very powerfull and im my opinion a good representation for how a victim can stand up against his abuser, so knowing that they are now emplying that blitzø was wrong for doing that broke any little respect i had for the show and viv as a writer.
Stolas told him he didn’t want to fuck him in the first place, so him saying that was just mean and for no reason
@moodymop1533 but blitzø didn't know that,if a abuser starts acting nice out of nowhere and after all blitzø had to go through with stolas toxic behavior he had reasons for not beleveing in him.but i must say back in that ep i was expecting to see stolas change and he did realised in that moment that he did messed up and i did liked that, but saying that just becouse stolas didn't intend to have sex doesn't mean blitzø was being toxic for no reason, blitzø could had try to talk more to stolas but after everything he had the righit to not beleve him and he is 100% justefied to be mad and say how much he is hurt by stolas actions.
@@apilho2495 Ozzie’s is such an interesting episode because it feels like an ep Vivziepop deeply regrets making. It puts Stolas’s problems on full display so now season 2 is all about doing a HARD reset and claiming none of that happened
Both shows will brush of some SA/SH's as a joke, Moxxie and Sir pentious were both SA'd for 'funnys'
Fr :(
the way people victim blamed them too is wild
watching your helluva boss/ hazbin hotel videos while drawing is my roman empire
I don't know what is worse. Vivianne's writing or the fandom fetishization of LGBT relationships.
Personally, I get the impression that the fans of these ships are just edgy teens with no real relationship experience, who only know relationships from anime and fanfiction and therefore don't understand that the relationships shown in them are toxic as fuck.
I used to like stolitz when i was 14 and had never seen a healthy relationship in my life so that sums it up
@@oxxen_uta2282
Many people seem to have forgotten how to have healthy relationships, which makes things even more difficult. Young people lack positive role models.
Can attest, as a edgy 15-17yo i hardcore shipped a VERY abusive (but i was self aware of it) Radiohusk as a way to vent, and this is and mentally stunted adults are the kind of people who make up the majority of the HH/Hb fandom, and this is probably because of how immature the humor is written, HH apealed to me so much as kid because it was "safe edgy" and "adult" and "subversive"
I've said it before and I'll scream it into the void a thousand times: STOLAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIN ANTAGONIST, at least for season one. I already commented this exact thing on another post, but holy shit I have to say it again. They uwu-ified him way too early, he could've been a really cool antagonist if he'd remained a savvy, holier-than-thou thorn in Blitz's side. Blitz would be stuck in the relationship because of his business needing Stolas's book, and Stolas would be a total jerk who knows he's shamelessly extorting Blitz.
Then, if the writers REALLY wanted do a romantic spin on it (idk why but ok), they could have Stolas slowly realizing that he's got feelings for Blitz but being way too proud to admit it, then eventually realizing just how shitty he's been and asking for forgiveness, then working on himself and trying to change. Then bam, the relationship is a slow burn while still being an entertaining trashfire.
When you think about it, they kinda accidentally engineered Stolas into the perfect foil for Blitz (a scrappy, lower class small business owner vs his high-society piece of shit angel investor) and then fumbled it by immediately diving headfirst into shipping town.
This is why M&M will forever be my favourite Helluverse ship. They're the only healthy one at this point.
I am a Bi woman who delt with an AngelDust. When I was working at CFA, a man came up to me and I thought he needed help...he said no and tried asking for my number and I declined because I find that unprofessional in a workplace setting and his response was "Really? Because your are seriously missing out. You're gonna regret this!" And left. My managers were around and asked if I was ok because they were about to call security. (My manager was a girl-dad too and he don't play) I said I was ok and they switched me from cashier to bagging just to be sure but like seriously?! That wasn't ok for me and to see something I FUCKIN DEALT WITH in this show as "cute" is disgusting
Edit: typo in AngelDust 😭
@@digital_koala people need to understand that no means no. If that person doesn't want you, don't ask again. 😭
The scene at Ozzie's with this context is giving 'pedo teacher grooming their student and gets caught in public and is scared for their reputation'. (I say student not in like an infantilizing way, but in like a power imbalance kinda way)
so once i had an argument w a stolas d rider. she kept defending him saying how he did nothing wrong, and when i realized her mind would never change i went "fuck this shit im out"
@SukunaIsHim nah bro i gave up on her tbh lol
@@SukunaIsHim u really wont believe me will u? ok
What was her arguement💀
@@shilasarkar6003 she said he was a good father
@@brinnuitlmao hes not she did NOT have a good point💀😭
I'm honestly ashamed I didn't realize how fucked up this show is dude
Dont be hard on yourself, is hard to realize how messed up a show is when everything is played for laughs
I once saw a guy say, "The only way to truly enjoy this show is to turn your brain off," and he couldn't be more right.
It's also fun to hate watch but so painful at the same time 😭😭
@crutonbasket It stopped being fun at all a long time ago.
@@Looona_fan I still think it's fun to hate watch
@@crutonbasket To each their own I suppose.
Nah that's not the only way, laughing at it with ur friends is also another option lol
Now imagine if it was the reverse and Stolas/Angel Dust was the woman in the situation. There would people who would defend it because "girl power".
