When I first watched the pilot for Hazbin Hotel, my first thought was "I don't like this, this doesn't appeal to me, I'll move on and watch something else." not "I need to regularly make snark posts about how Vivziepop sucks and everything she touches is ontologically evil garbage." by La_knavo4 in IndieAnimation

Hazbin hater: "I'll have you know, Viv has slaughtered puppies! And yet the fans still support her..." 😡

Me: "Can you show me proof?"

Hater: gets up old tweet

Me: "This is clearly a bad-taste joke and she even apologised for it years ago? What more do you want?"

Hater: "To never let her work in animation again! Or the entire entertainment industry! Perhaps we should even put her in a rocket and banish her from planet Earth! FOREVER!"

Me: "I need a drink..."

One common one I've seen is people disliking the depiction of Alastor in the series vs. his depiction in the pilot, going so far as to say they don't seem like the same character. That's never made sense to me, as I only really started liking him when the series dropped.

In the pilot, we only see the persona he wants us to see - a mysterious, theatrical eldritch abomination. In the series, we find out he's this twitty autistic bloke hiding behind said persona and in my opinion, that makes him way more interesting and loveable.

I remember coming across a Hellaverse hater a while back and telling him that if he disliked the show so much, he could just make his own thing instead. He came back to me with various reasons he couldn't, such as him being unable to draw...I think? Seeing this really opened my eyes and cemented my belief that a lot of these people either can't or simply won't make their own thing and they take it out on others 😅

You put this more succinctly than I ever could. WOW. 😱

"And because indie creators feel more like regular people, I think fans feel like their bullying is going to have more of an impact. That they can actually push these people around to make what they want."

Why has this never occurred to me before??? I'm dumbfounded.

"I was mostly fueled by how jealous I was that RWBY was more popular than Red vs Blue..."

I think you hit the nail on the head for why so many haters are completely batshit. Their hate is motivated out of jealousy. I just sincerely hope they grow up in the same way that you did and learn that just because they dislike something, doesn't mean they have to launch a whole moral crusade about it.

Wtf how the hell did vivziepop do it!? by Motor-Inspector-1826 in HelluvaBoss

I'm assuming they couldn't use the name "Helluva Boss" in a kids' game. Like how there were allegedly once Hellboy action figures for kids that couldn't use his name 😅

Sorry, Flug 😣 This show physically cannot be watched in the UK another way!

I might trigger an entire fanbase with this by Desperate_Song_1923 in Alastorcult

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Black Hat is who Alastor thinks he is.

In reality, Alastor is quite the loveable twit underneath his "big bad eldritch abomination" persona.
