Reminder that Polly Nichols wasn't some skinny, narrow-waisted thing with a tiny upturned nose and blonde hair. She was five foot two, had dark brown greying hair, brown eyes, and a great smile.

Here's some good Hazbin/Helluva critical videos I've seen (since it's so hard to find good ones on YT)

(Both are by GalXE!)

(Left one is by HezuReviews, right is by Autistic Swag!)

(Both are by Madeline Maye!)

(Both are by Cassidy Whiskey!)

Please go check these people out, all of them are extremely talented. Some of them even shared some insight and clever criticism into this series that I hadn't even thought of! (I especially like the Madeline Mayne ones as they poke into how both HB and HH fail at their queer representation.)

Yeah and you changed the original premise from imps who murder people as a business to a poorly written sappy melodrama that nobody wanted centering on a shipping between two people with nothing in common and we don't know why they're meant to be together. Plus it's a toxic ship.

Jax Has Crossedressed More Times Than Angel Dust

Seriously pre-series a major party of his character was cross dressing, but we never seen him do it in season one which again makes me think that despite making him wear feminine stuff his crossdresser shenanigans have been downplayed. Kind of sad that a character that wasn't sold on it does it more than him.

How is it that Viv simultaneously has the most vicious and terrifying defenders, and the most vicious and terrifying haters? I'm not talking about normal people, of course, like those who simply criticize the show, or those who like it because different opinions are cool, but...

‎ But for some reason, her show has attracted both radical fans and radical haters. They're so similar, because if you say anything even slightly different from their point of view, you'll be devoured by both sides. Both sides write wishes of death and violence to those they don't like. I know toxic people often appear in fandoms, but I used to think that one side was often more dominant. And here it's BOTH. Just... how? How did this happen, why? Sometimes it's just scary to even express your opinion

These are my theories, but I'm gonna explain it.

About the rabid fans. A creator can become a mirror for their fandom. Viv playing the victim when receiving even the most petty criticism is already a huge start to creating a toxic environment for fans. Mostly because fans have the tendency to see their favourite creator as an idol rather than a person. An example is the case of the author of the infamous book After. She sold the book on Amazon, and someone gave it a positive review, but with a bit of criticism. The author got so mad at this criticism that she literally invited her fans to harass that person for daring to criticize. The fandom of After is, in fact, just like author, people who hate criticism. Vivziepop is too defensive to the point of exposing a fragile ego that her fans would white knight her rather than listening.

About rabid haters. I honestly do not know where or when it started. On one hand, I could think that they are a result of the rabid fans that caused major frustration to the point of leading some critics to go to an extreme to an another. However, that would be quite a whataboutism. It is also true that it's Tumblr we're talking about, where a lot of self-righteous people would basically reach the level of cyberbullying as long there is a "good reason" in their mind (let's not forget the case of Zamii. Is the greatest example of it). Vivziepop gained a lot of drama because of her behaviour and how she handles certain topics in her show, to where some people could have added gasoline to a bonfire to create more reason to hate on her (in fact, there are certain accusations that seem way too much exaggerated). Because of that, the rabid haters believe that wishing harm or death upon someone is 100% justified. Things like accusing a person of being racist, transphobic or misogynist frankly are way too much exaggerated in my eyes. There's a line between making mistakes and being an actual evil person.
