aaand she blocked me. but had to throw in some last minute dunkage after the fact:

girl you tagged that post transandrophobia who do you honestly think you're fooling

Hey Your blog fucking slaps can you elaborate on why horrible boat (hazmat motel) is a shitty thing in general, i need another person to rant about this with

Okay so. Let’s start by throwing everything else out the window. No context. Vizie’s past, erased. We could go on about that but frankly I don’t feel like delving into it, and you can look for yourself and decide if her apologies made up for what she did. I’m not going there just bc of how messy it gets.

Where I WILL, go, is frankly the first and most important thing to know: This show is heavily inspired by South Park. Vizie has gone on the record to say as much. It’s not hard to see, considering the ‘offensive for the sake of offensive’ humor thats just played off bc ‘oh they’re assholes and bad people’ nvm the fact that like...so many people still copied Cartman and got their ideas of Judaism FROM him when they didn’t know any Jews themselves, just bc the character is ‘bad’ doesn’t mean that people won’t still see them and relate to them and think the things they say are Smart And Cool, especially if they’re presented as more of an antihero. Also see Rick Sanchez and Bojack Horseman, both of whom had entire episodes to call out the people who saw these two and were like ‘haha thats me, this character i like acting this way is justification for my own bad behavior’.

 Anyway.

I’ll have some legit ‘bro this sucks’ in here and the rest is gonna be subjective crit/dunkage, if you want nuanced and detailed critique you aint gonna find it here.

So, looking at the plot summary from the wiki: “ The series focuses on Charlie, the princess of Hell, and her quest to open a hotel for rehabilitating demons. Hell suffers from overpopulation and Heaven solves the problem by routinely exterminating demons yearly. Charlie, who has grown up in Hell, wants to find an alternate solution to the mass slaughter. She opens the Happy Hotel which aims at teaching demons and sinners to become better people. There is substantial resistance though, and Charlie and her friends must work together to keep the hotel running.”

Not necessarily a bad plot on it’s face, with a thesis that’s perfectly reasonable, ‘everyone is capable of changing for the better’. Fine, great. The problem comes in with who is considered a ‘sinner’. Most notably, fan favorite Ang*l D*st, is gay, a sex worker, and a drug addict who died of overdose. So that’s already ‘sex workers go to hell and so do drug addicts’, and piling on his personality and the brunt of the jokes about his character, which is ‘haha predatory sex-obsessed gay man’ and that’s already...a good amount of ‘oh this sucks’ in ONE CHARACTER. Let us also not forget the lesbian who is named Vaggie. Great. Awesome. Love it. “But Vizie Is Bi-” she’s also cis, that may give her some right to make wlw jokes (provided they were. any good) but it certainly doesn’t give her the right to make ones at the expense of MLM.

But maybe none of this matters to you. Maybe you’re a cautious optimist who’s holding out for these problems to be addressed in the show or before airing. Or maybe none of this matters to you at all, and you never got past your 8th-grade Hot Topic Edgelord phase. Fine. Whatever. Everything past that paragraph above is just gonna be subjective on my part, anyway. This isn’t a hill I care to die on.

That being said CHARACTER DESIGN IS MY PASSION, holy shit Vizie clearly got one good look at The Onceler and decided that was all she ever wanted to draw for the rest of her life, like just LOOK at that asshole, you can pin down the span of YEARS that style would get half of tumblr posting *OVARIES EXPLODING* gifs right next to fuckin Cumberpatch, and where are you supposed to LOOK?? God these character designs are SO busy, there’s no focal point, it’s just a bunch of pom-poms slapped onto popsicle sticks in arts and crafts. Like, christ, even the humor feels like it’s stuck in the late aughts, Vizie might as well live in a hot topic. Angel Dust?? oh real clever. Haha. great. love it. Vaggie, what a hi-larious name for a character. Are we just shouting ‘PENIS’ as our jokes now? Is that the level of writing Miss Vizie has for us? That’s the best she’s got? Jesus.

Anyway god this sucks, they could’ve picked up ANY show for syndication and they chose that...especially in the middle of a whole movement about uplifting black and trans voices, they went with TGP For South Park Fans. God. You love to see it. and by love i mean hate. And oh god, the fandom is gonna get even more unbearable after this. like they’re already refugees from the Onceler Fandom and Humanstuck Bill Cipher, these people’s brains are stuck in like, 2013, at best.

Anyway that’s all I gotta say, I’m positive people are gonna come jump on my ass bc of this and like i said, this is not a hill i care to die on, so unless they’re about to like...pull up 10-year-old reciepts on me or w/e if ur only gonna argue u get a block. peace
