As we were saying, you can't fight aphobia without fighting terfs.

This whole plot point between Alastor and Vox is so trash to me because it's feels like this scene exists to woobify Vox and see his treatment of Alastor at worst as justifiable and at best as somewhat understandable.

Like this sequence has Alastor act incredibly cruel for no reason, he acts like a moustache twirling villain. Many videos reviewing this last two episodes claim Alastor was all over the place and it doesn't surprise me at all. You could argue that there is more to it that maybe we didn't get Alastor side of the story so what we are seeing is, to some degree, subjective.

But then this is how Vivziepop declared she inteded the scene to be interpreted.

You could say "Alastor being mean isn't out of character for him" but the thing is Alastor is not a real person he is a character and as a character he was written by someone that, intentionally or unintentionally, put her own biases in his character and with the addition of viv joking about Vox having a crush on Alastor the implications get worse.

The message that comes off at the end is that the, only, asexual character in the whole show is portrayed as an evil cruel heartless person for having rejected someone. It's offensive it portrays the idea, once again, that asexual people are like that because they are disgusting selfish people who care about nobody except themselves.

Hazbin S2 spoilers and speculation

CW: mention of SA and acephobia

My blood pressure was so high during the last scene of episode 4. Partly because I read a lot of fanfic, and honestly what happened in this episode is not dissimilar to some things I've read.

But then we find out that Vox made Alastor watch him and Val fuck.

Now, there is a bit of humor in this, but I don't even see this as much of a joke. At least, not in the way I've seen too many people viewing it. The joke isn't "haha Alastor had to watch them fuck," it's "haha Vox is an idiot, watching them fuck isn't going to make him jealous."

The joke here is on Vox. Honestly, Alastor looks more annoyed than anything. I used to think Alastor was a sex-repulsed asexual, but he might actually be a sex-averse asexual.

Regardless, Vox and Valentino both fucking suck here. But it gets worse.

Technically, this is speculation, headcanon, and inference, but Valentino seems to give off an aphrodisiac with his saliva and smoke, and the prevailing theory I've seen is that Velvette uses that ability of his to make her love potion (which that one sinner tried to drug Angel Dust with in Masquerade). Which means Vox is very likely trying to drug Alastor here. And it looks like Alastor knows that. Look how angry he is as soon as Vox exhales the smoke into his face.

Even if Alastor wasn't too horribly bothered by watching Vox have sex with Valentino, I'm sure the idea of him being forced to engage with Vox is a whole different story. Alastor looks the angriest he has in practically the whole episode right here.

And it keeps getting worse.

This is torture. Alastor is being tortured. He probably has a very high pain tolerance, but Alastor is being tortured right here. And those lyrics. I know part of this is Vox just being a very profane and self-important person, but I cannot brush it off as being just that.

These two shots are troubling. Vox is stepping in between Alastor's legs. I don't know if Vox is going to assault Alastor, but these two shots right here, especially with these lyrics, indicate to me that that is a possibility.

We know Vox is friends with Valentino (who is a rapist) and Velvette (who sells the 'love potion'), so it is not outside the realm of possibility for him to also assault someone.

I still don't know what to think about Alastor's ears being pinned back here. I think it's mostly an act or exhaustion, not him genuinely being afraid, but I don't even fucking know anymore.

Anyway, one-sided radiostatic is just... canon now and I'm very worried about my favorite character.

Again, I've been influenced by how much fanfic I've read, but a common theme I've seen in some radiosilence/onewaybroadcast fics is Vox SAing Alastor due to acephobia. As in, Vox is acephobic and tries to corrective rape Alastor.

I don't know that this will ever be depicted or even implied any more than it already has been on screen, but I am very, very nervous for Alastor. VERY.

Some people will really say “Sex is fundamental part of the human experience and humans can’t live without it because humans were built to have sex with each other….besides ace folks tho! :D” and think they’re a good ace ally
