People will deadass be like "I want a villain who is evil but still cares about someone despite that and it doesn't change that they're evil."
Then Hazbin Hotel will give them that with Valentino and they'll say "EW THEY'RE EXCUSING A RAPIST BECAUSE HE GOT SAD ONCE! THIS EVIL ASS SHOW! I CAN'T BELIEVE VIVZIE SAID SHE'S JUST LIKE VALENTINO AND SHE'S WOOBIFYING US AND USING VOODOO MAGIC TO MAKE US FEEL BAD FOR HIM!!!"
No. Valentino isn't a different character from S1 just because he felt a little sad for thirty seconds in a song about the possibility of his family breaking apart and Vox treating him like crap. In S2, we see him entirely through Vox's and Velvette's perspectives where to them, he's their overly clingy and emotional core.
As soon as he's perceived by Cherri and Husk trying to get Angel out of there, he states "Get your hands off of my property" and throws down with them. He recognizes Vox and Velvette's personhood because he loves and treasures them. He doesn't for Angel or anyone else (that we know of). He even smirks at Angel when Angel realizes he's going to return to Valentino after all this because bodily and mind autonomy has been utterly shattered. Valentino is still presented as a clear villain.
Stop these disingenuous readings because you wanna imagine Vivzie and co as bad people or something. Open your eyes. Actually watch the show. Hell! Listen to the commentary for S1. Vivzie goes into a good and important explanation that Val's high energy and charisma is compensation for his abusive actions and how he gets away with his actions by being conveniently attractive. You know... like people in real life do! Imagine that.
Hazbin Hotel has showed time and time again that there will be imperfect victims and complicated abusers. And that's uncomfortable. But this is a show for adults, believe it or not. So... grow up and start paying attention like the rest of us.
