@Togamau1 to be clear, I don't think the implication was intended at all, just that (similarly to alastors usage of actual vodou symbology to represent "scary demon magic" instead of solomonic seals & the wendigo stuff) viv just doesnt know enough about the aesthetics shes drawing upon.

@Togamau1 I don't think the story will play out in the traditional "all the sinners are saved"!!!!! way either. Pentious' redemption puts a wrench in the works cus it proves there is some divine authority that can redeem sinners, which begs the questions of 1. Who and 2. Are they just.

@slasher18568011 this is def true in recent helluvaboss (and hazbins marketing leaned into this idea for the sake of being provocative) but tbh it isn't really true for hazbin hotel.they swear yeah, but not any more than in like. Invincible.

@Togamau1 The throughline of self-improvement and the unjust hierarchy of heaven V.S. hell aren't cogent with each other unless in a later season Charlie (and the hotel at large) realize the very idea of needing to be redeemed and brought unto the light is formed of unjustified assumption.

@TransHerobrine I love how no one gets that the joke is because you’re herobrine and are just telling you to get off Twitter.

@Togamau1 As a long time fan of hers, I'm hoping the wonky morality of Hazbin's first season is intentional and will get hammered out later down the line. The (probably unintended) racist allegory is sadly built into the framework of the setting, but I'm all for analyzing 'problematic' art.

@weather_forkast Her arc centers on her growing maturity. The hotel is definitely the kind of wide-eyed immature idea I see a nepobaby royal making. Sadly, Pentious' redemption sorta throws that idea out the window as it shows Charlie's hotel idea is 100% a thing that can work.

@peahennessy The pilot isn't canon, from what I know. Regardless, I don't read Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow as charlie insulting the sinners she wants to help, so much as her simply not realizing her statements are at all insults. They're negative statements about these people, but-.

@8b8b2022 ive been tinkering with writing some kind of video essay about this exact topic, but I'd need to do a good deal more research on the history of vodou. Sadly, this kind of criticism has sorta been drowned out by the deluge of hate so it's hard to find any well-researched writing.

im always super scared hanging out in larger discord servers, especially ones centered around producing as there's pretty rampant homophobia and transphobia depending on what genres you make/listen to.thank you @eliminatemusic for saying this o7

ok fuck it heres my thoughts:.Centricide 7 was the spiritual finale to what the series and jreg's channel was about in general.Centricide 8 was the flashy, probably fun to make but ultimately cliche ending that you'd see from any long-running tv show.

@peahennessy -charlie seems to not really understand (in the pilot and show proper) that sinners might be at all embarrassed (to put it lightly) of their actions in life. For her (as someone born in hell) its simply a fact of life that Sinners all did terrible deeds that got them damned.

@segachanneI There’s no definitive proof ofc, but all of modern broadway culture sprang out of the Harlem renaissance which was a cultural movement in the 20s (coinciding with art deco), going off of james baldwins analysis of Harlem as a quasisatirical recreation of white “high society”,-.

@peahennessy I def. agree that the pilot has a more coherent moral than the show proper. With the benefit of heaven being this ephemeral Other in the context of the pilot alone, it's able to play way more fast and loose with the concepts and moral quandaries it throws around.

@segachanneI -hell being an attempted but failed “recreation” of heavens splendor that just so happens to be 20s style brick and mortar buildings, with an abundance of swing clubs (Ozzie’s for example) it’s pretty hard to refute.

@peahennessy If whatever divine force is in charge of letting sinners back into heaven is revealed to itself be a fallible being, my primary complaint with the worldbuilding will be moot. However, as both shows seem to play it safe and contain any explicit mention of a God, for now it stands.

@Elcee_Rod @Togamau1 not really imo. you should do your due diligence if you're making a piece of artwork with the intent of profiting off of it and releasing it to a mass audience. Fanfic and personal writing is one thing, but as Hazbin transitioned from a pet project to a million dollar IP there-.

fate worse than death: popular tweet.
hazbin sucks but not for “ouuuhhh show cringe designs bad” it’s actually because if you think about the historical influences heaven and hell’s architecture/aesthetics have you realize it’d basically the worlds most elaborate “white woman civilizes the inner city hoodlums” story.
