Hypersexuality is when you’re so obsessed with sex it causes you harm and pain…it doesn’t mean “super horny and slutty cause it’s quirky teehee” i hate some of these attitudes.
[CW - SA, Spoilers]
Thinking about those “but it wasn’t nonconsensual” tweets again…the dreadful silence, Utenas eyes darting around, her being distressed, frantic and saying “I have to get home” “what can I do? This is no good” flinching in pain. The road saying “stop! Stop!”
Handy writing trick: retcon your abuser character to be very quirky, insecure, wimpy pathetic and
#relatable
to get ppl to forget how powerful and manipulative he actually has been, on screen, and have the disadvantaged person be hypersexual so that his abuse “doesn’t matter”
“I will do anything” (implied: sex)
How…how do the people see this and think stolas is the victim or a doormat to Blitzø, and why have they been bullying fans for calling stolas manipulative and an abuser.
Actually Blitzø is a good example of a hypersexual character. Like this scene where he uses sex and substances to escape his pain but is repulsed by the person at the same time

I need everyone to watch these two scenes of
#HelluvaBoss
with
#Blitzo
and
#Stolas
, then the one with
#Fizzarolli
and
#Mammon
for me, back to back. The dialogue, expressions, hand movements, the tone. Notice anything?
Wdym “10 episodes in and no yuri”?
Those screenshots are from episode 3
In that same ep Utena rejects being a normal boys bride, hating the feminine dress the whole time, and chose to dance with Anthy.
Nobody lied to u 🌹
I hate y’all who lied to me and told me utena was yuri
I’m literally 10 episodes in and this shit is just straight and queerbaiting???? And their fans were insulting sulemio and saying shit about my girls 💀💀💀💀💀
Blitzø is completely valid here and the way Stolas brushes him off and Blitzø APOLOGIZES for being right when I know they ain’t gonna acknowledge him being right? Man.
It’s an adult man and a teen girl worried about packing her school lunch for the morning. And it’s supposed to symbolise the breaking of Utenas spirit. She clearly feels guilty, confused, and afraid and the encounter breaks her will to fight. It is not consensual.
@BlackTownUsa1
That’s like the *key* part. When the adrenaline wears off and you realise it wasn’t a genuine desire but an unhealthy choice. Hypersexuality is impulsive and instinct driven, it almost feels like panic when the urge hits.
I remember this exchange between zuko and iroh.
Where Iroh, who is all about choosing peace, kindness, balance, and forgiveness, said “no, she’s crazy and too far gone”
atla fans crying bc azula's abuse is getting blatantly acknowledged on-screen and she's being shown in a sympathetic light, when they been saying for years up and down that she wasn't abused and doesn't deserve any sympathy
#avatarthelastairbender
Writing Stella as abusive is not misogynistic but *this* scene, is.
Mansplains the situation, removes her agency as calculated villain to give it to a man. Worst though? Saying she’s stupid and all she’s good for is popping out a baby and looking attractive. That’s misogyny.
People in the comments like
“who cares about the black communities smaller, tokenised, misunderstood, religious community?! about what CHRISTIANITY, the most overpowering, suffocating, colonising religion in the west, has to put up with?🥺”
This is you:
@illusionOfArtOG
Fucking hell don’t lump me in with Orchard I feel like the diamonds crimes and punishment were off balance, while she basically called sugar a fucking Nazi
Striker: The classist economy should be improved somewhat. I don’t like the upper class.
Stolas: And yet you, a lower class person have a job in which you do labour for the upper class. Because they are born rich but you have to earn money. Curious! I am very intelligent.
[CW - SA Spoilers]
Scene Sai created drama over, Anthy calls Akio, distracting herself with a star map. Akio compares himself to the morning star, so when he says the stars are beautiful and she should see them he’s referring to himself, she didn’t want to see the real him—
@rxdxmxncy_angxl
She intentionally made “new” Rapunzel take the role of the egocentric vain Mother Gothel with both the pose and the positioning in front, Gothel is already based on racial stereotypes. The piece may have been inspired by Ursula disguising herself as Vanessa and ‘stealing’ (1/2)
@ujivoice
Her age is bad enough but the question she asked makes it even worse 😓 in a few years she’ll be so embarrassed that this happened and that parents didn’t prevent it
[CW for spoilers suicide rape abuse]
Maybe you missed the scene where Anthy tried to jump from a building while apologising over and over to utena. The entire time being assaulted by Akio every single week.
Crazy idea but you should blame the rapist not his sister who he raped.
This is plain bullying behaviour btw. Why is Vivienne Medrano joining in on fandom discourse with one fan of her show insulting and misconstruing the other? Pitting her fans against each other using her power as a creator is encouraging bullying. HB has a horrendous reputation.
If they let him be an evil bastard like he was supposed to be originally, I would literally be his biggest simp
Look how terrifying??! The creepy hands with long fingers made of darkness, his towering stature, deranged smile, the glowing red eyes and coiffed hair??
In Pattersons Slavery and Social Death, former slave Gracie Gibson recalls being ‘given’ as a birthday present to a masters daughter. The white child looked at her with “starry” eyes before taking her to her room to play.
So the answer to the question is yes.
Stella when stolas mansplains their marriage as if she doesn’t already know everything he’s saying: 🧍♀️
This scene was so unserious to me (no offence if you liked it) they may as well be fighting over the last tube of mascara in the house
i know this scene is supposed to be super serious but… i cant when all you hear is the wooshing sound effects everytime stolas’ hand moves and THE FUCKING BLINK NOISE AT THE END
You can have a scene like Poison, where rape is depicted in a negative light. You can, arguably, have a scene like this, where a character is dragged off to be gang raped while screaming and clawing the ground, and it's played for comedy.
But you sure as hell can't have both.
“Anthy is the real mastermind who willingly betrayed Utena like she was a sacrificial lamb, she is equally as bad as Akio. Utena disappointed me by giving in to him, it wasn’t nonconsensual, that avoids accountability”
Wow! Its almost like you’re reciting Akios lines for him!
@BEA_TR1SH
Yeah, I’m sorry :( for me the scene where Anthy takes her glasses off and walks towards Akio while the blinds shut around them messed me up. Content warnings are important but for me the shock was pretty memorable and made the story unforgettable
People’s understanding of consent has been so damaged by this ship. Do we not even understand what coercion is? reminds me of this scene from Always Sunny
@helluvareceipts
Thought I’d add these here, he says nobody was forced to. But the article clearly explains how they had no time to find a different source of income, and many are fresh out of college which makes it even harder. These factors need to be considered.
@LePretzelPrince
She’s admitted a few times that she took over the major writing role from Brandon and reworked stolas completely. I just wonder what she threw away to replace it with shallow sad stolas song number twelve
Huh.
#HelluvaBossStolas
calling Octavia, his beloved daughter, a “thing”
Kinda mirrors Stella saying she’s glad one egg fell out of her so she can stop pretending.
The melodramatic ost sends me as well. Do they pay an imp orchestra offscreen for their pathetic harpy fighting?
That post is just recycling racist talking points.
The script should’ve called striker “extremist” at worst, *supremacist* is charged, given that he’s coded as Hispanic and poor, and resisting a white, royal, British coded man. This isn’t how a “supremacist” talks:
The fact this actually was said shows how white supremacy has won. This shit taught in schools by washing history to this "The only good revolution is a peaceful one" when not a single revolution has ever been peaceful, but they call the oppressed supremacists.
#helluvaboss
@radioapplr
“I think so highly of you”
Also:
“My little imp”
“Little impish plaything”
“Follow me imp”
“Are you tiny creatures not being careful?”
“You’re so cute when you’re serious”
Ok so if anyone curious in good faith and maybe confused as to why some people of all genders and sexualities are ACTUALLY uncomfortable by stolas, here’s a good vid to watch on the topic which explains things in a calm respectful manner.
bitches will be like “we want complex queer romances in media” and then write essays about how this ship is so toxic and evil helluva boss should be cancelled for the good of mankind. like I don’t think you do.
#stolitz
“I didn’t want to see the real (him)”
“I never thought we’d end up doing what we did”
Both girls blame themselves and feel they betrayed the other which is heartbreaking to them.
To blame either young girl is to underestimate the power and calculated predatory behaviour of Akio.
I don’t know how anyone can watch the scene between
#Stolas
and
#Blitz
and conclude that Blitz somehow initiated the sexual aspect, that he was the one with any power in the situation. Or could possibly have negotiated out of it. That stolas is a victim? (Cont’d)
When she asks “did you get tonight’s roses” he says “yes well done”
Every night Akio sexually abuses one of the students, and “gets his roses” Touga and Anthy herself “deliver” their own roses to him the most. Tonight it was Utena, Akio is saying “well done” to shift blame.
Anthy is more of an accomplice than a girls girl (see: Kanae) that’s true, but she’s also his main victim. And just like Sai is doing, Anthy is blamed by the world for all their problems, being stabbed by the swords of hatred, including Akios (ew)
I really don’t want to debate about this anymore but I just want to respond to the tweet Viv made about the ‘both sides’ thing and explain why that point doesn’t work with this clip about unequal damage, from
@ArteiceTB
’s video.
