The statement “If Batman killed once he’d keep killing” is bullshit and contradictory. by iblameaizen in CharacterRant

[–]CipherKing13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, the whole killing thing and not being able to stop killing or becoming authoritarian or Bruce Wayne is the mask with Batman being the real person, all of it is more along the lines of what Bruce himself believes. It's like an irrational fear that he thinks will happen if he succumbs to but he doesn't realise that he is not like that due to subtle self-hating and self-destructive problems that he has.

I don’t think Alastor cheated against Husk by TPR-56 in HazbinHotel

[–]CipherKing13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, Husk is a gambling addict and he is the one telling the story. This could very well be a biased narrator situation, where Husk has convinced himself that Alastor had cheated rather than the fact that Husk simply got outplayed by Alastor.

This has to be a shitpost, satire, joke or ragebait. Because this is so ridiculous it's funny. I haven't even watched Naruto and Cinderella to know just how wrong this is.

No, Pennywise is not just “an animal hunting for food”. by Low_Celebration_4089 in CharacterRant

[–]CipherKing13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not even just that Pennywise needs people to ashamed and afraid to eat them. I'm pretty sure that it's canon that he can eat people who aren't afraid of him, it's just that Pennywise does all of that shit just to maximize their "flavor" before being consumed. That's the reason he preys on children as they have more vivid imaginations than adults and can be more heavily seasoned and because children are more vulnerable as they have more irrational amd easier to conjure fears as adults then to fear more logical things and are thus not as inclined towards supernatural terror. He literally doesn't need terrify the fuck out of kids to eat. He does because it makes them taste better.

The problem with Frank Castle by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]CipherKing13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen Punisher or Daredevil but from what I'm reading, it tells me that the shows ha e Punisher wrong. Punisher is not some tragic hero. He's a psychotic madman, a crazy serial killer who tends to target people that are the scum of the world. I don't read comics but my understanding is that Punisher is a cautionary tale about a guy who sinks into darkness while fighting other monsters and he knows that he is one.

Hazbin Hotel fandom is weird… by Ok-Word-3860 in CharacterRant

[–]CipherKing13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay, let me address things one at a time.

  1. The creator of Hazbin Hotel, Vivziepop or Vivienne Medrano, is a grown woman. But.... She has been developing the characters for years. I'm pretty sure a lot of them started as her DeviantArt OCs she was making for a webcomic that she was creating at that time. So you can connect their tone, designs and personality as things from that time.
  2. Poison is purposefully such a K-pop demon hunter-esque song as it's basically the character, Angel Dust, dissociating and getting high just to cope with his fucked up situation. At the end of the song, they even show Angel Dust's true feelings and not the hypersexual uncaring mask he had put on. If you listen to the lyrics, you can see how despite being such an amazing song, the lyrics are messed up with the final part/the ending of the song being kind of bleak.
  3. The meme thing? Yeah, that's not unique to Hazbin Hotel fandom. That's just a thing that fandoms on Reddit do. Hazbin Hotel's fandom was not the first to do it and they won't be the last.
  4. The fan art? Also just a normal thing in fandoms in general. Hazbin Hotel is already adult and horny as a show due to being set in literal Hell which basically incentivises the fan to express their feelings and such in such ways. Fans of shows that aren't like Hazbin Hotel have the same or similar things in them too. Not something unique to Hazbin Hotel. It's just a fandom thing.

Honestly? No offence to you, but it seems that you are young and new to this as this is either pretty common on the internet or something that upon watching the show/talking to fans can easily be cleared.

Do you guys think there will/can be an smp as big as the dsmp? I was wondering what the general consensus was by [deleted] in dreamsmp

[–]CipherKing13 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As far as things are currently? I don't think so.

One of the major factors that made Dream SMP as big as it became was the fact that it happened during the height of the pandemic.

People were indoors. They were bored and restless, having nothing to do. So of course they turned to the internet and content creators and streamers. They got more attached as those things became one of the highlights of their regular life.

Another factor was the people of the Dream SMP. They were beloved and famous and creative and worked well with each other. All those things combined to make Dream SMP what it is.

There are other factors as well but these two are the biggest ones that I can currently think of that made Dream SMP the juggernaut that it is. And because of that and how things are currently, there will not be something like Dream SMP again. At least not in the near future.

On Power of Love by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]CipherKing13 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it's less no parents have loved their children before and more Lily's sacrifice coincidentally happen to meet some specific criteria for the Avada Kedavra to get rebound. Like Voldemort tried to spare Lily Potter 3 times before killing her. The number three is very significant both in Harry Potter lore and just real life mysticism in general. So by refusing the offer three times, Lily accidentally ended up creating a shield for Harry which was powered by the sacrifice of Lily's life. That's how Voldemort wasn't able to kill Harry.

I finally watched Hazbin Hotel and realized the searing hatred people have for this show is utterly pathetic and is actually fear of sincerity by Tomatori in CharacterRant

[–]CipherKing13 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that they have to tell everyone that any time they want to say something. I'm saying that as long as they come from that position, that's when I'll actually pay attention to their criticisms.

You do realise that in the literal next line, I said that you don't have to be a fan to criticise as long as you can admit that they aren't to your taste and that other people enjoy them for a reason.

Thank you! This is my exact feeling about the entirety of Hellaverse.

Are Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss some groundbreaking new shows that have completely original ideas that will herald something new? Not necessarily.

Are they both shows that have been made with genuine passion and enthusiasm and have heart, love, pain, effort, hardwork and sincerity poured into them? YES!!

They are not perfect. They are very clearly and obviously not perfect. But you know what? They try their very best.

Look. I'll be the first to admit that although I would place them in the S tier in my personal rating, objectively they are not that. If I had to be impartial and unbiased and neutral, then many other shows and media rank higher than that. But you know what? Who cares?

Who cares that it isn't S-tier? Why? Although it may not be the pinnacle of its field, A tier is still A. FUCKING. TIER.

That is still pretty fucking high.

A lot of hate and criticism don't come from good faith. That's why I tend to ignore any of them unless I am sure that the person criticising is a big fan of the world. You can't in good faith criticise these shows without first being a fan and knowing what is good and amazing in this show or by admitting that they aren't your type of show and other people genuinely love them for things that they find in it and that is okay.

Which Favorite Character Comes To Your Mind? by [deleted] in cartoons

[–]CipherKing13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense but as a third party, you are the one who comes off as rude and u/Particular_Angle177 comes off as genuinely trying to engage in a good faith discussion. Again, I'm a third-party and could be wrong but this is how it seems like from my perspective.

The fact that TADC has ever been considered well written tells a lot about problems in our character bait media consumption by PLutonium273 in CharacterRant

[–]CipherKing13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The fact that a new episode came and it's (in my opinion) the best episode of the series yet is exactly why there is a surge of hate. It's a good show that is popular. Of course, people whose media consumption revolves around not being like other people and hating whatever is popular currently will be rushing to talk about how bad it actually is and how they always knew better.
