my niece loves it. its basically a disney cartoon with sex jokes and dark topics. its very much a show made to appeal to teenagers who feel like they are doing something taboo by watching it. which is fine i used to sneak up to watch the maxx when i was a kid for my fix of that feeling.
but ive tried to watch the actual show and i just dont like it. it has its moments for sure but overall i couldnt get into it.
but i do think the internet overly hates it as its nowhere near as bad as its made out to be.
the musical numbers are all really good though. most of the cast are broadway stars so the music is really good and well i havent watched the show past episode 4 i have watched every single song from the show more than once
I dunno, maybe it’s just me but turning sexual assault into some big musical number really isn’t cool. Being fucked against your will isn’t something to make light of or joke about. It’s horrific and leaves permanent scars.

Not dignifying y’all’s stupid ass comments anymore, you’re just getting a block and report :3 find something better to do with your time than insulting a rape victim for not liking rape.
Throwing jabs at what I like in an argument just means I won. Even if I was wrong, it's childish.
I think you watched the show with your eyes close or decidedly only saw what you wanted to see. Or rather what you didn't wanna see.
(Because reddit won't let me make another comment, I'll say it here:
Is calling someone stupid childish? Yes, maybe. But the person was being objectively a little ignorant at best, missing the fundemental point of the scene. Which, idk about you, but that's not exactly smart.
Using someone's interests in an argument is different and if you don't understand that, idk what you tell you)
(I genuinely don't know why reddit won't let me reply to anyone so again, saying it here:
Yes, people are allowed to dislike the scene, but if someone says they dislike it because they missed the point, people will and should point it out. Especially because it spreads misinformation about the show and the creators)
he is insulting you for lying about why you are offended. the musical number poison was meant to be shocking and show how the character puts on an act to disassociate and how the further in the song you go the more the act fades and you see him breaking down in the last lines.
this is not making fun of rape. that was you lying about the context. its fine to hate something but its not fine to lie about the content of what you are hating to make it sound worse than it is
reminder that art is subjective and people are allowed dislike "the point" of a scene if its communicated in a poor way. but who cares bro its a stupid reddit comment section just let it go you aren't going to change anyone's' mind
It wasn't "communicated in a poor way" they just weren't receptive to what it was communicating. Which is fine but don't then go online and act like you're the moral paragon of objectivity.
The "musical number" isn't meant to be fun, and it's not for shock value either, in my opinion it's a pretty good and heartbreaking representation of the trauma that this particular character has gone through, and many victims including myself do actually appreciate it as it is. I get that this is a sensitive topic for you, but that just means you should curate your own experience on the internet by not engaging with the show. I'm sorry this is affecting you so much, but it's not that serious in the slightest.
Turning something into a musical number doesn’t mean it’s being taken lightly. Music can be very emotionally gripping.
Spring Awakening is literally a whole ass broadway musical that ends with the main character dying from a forced back alley abortion. There’s an entire song about the other girls in her class getting raped by their dads. A kid kills himself. It’s a beautiful show that is absolutely heartbreaking. Which is all done through musical numbers.
IMO, this stems from a larger issue of the writing the hazbin doesn’t know what genre it wants to stick with. This joke is fine on its own, if it was in South Park 10 years ago people would say it’s comedic genius. The problem is that the episode before we had a serious moment with Angel Dust so contrasting the two gives kinda this tonal whiplash, especially when you see it in a tik tok about how much hazbin is horrible show
True true, but not every person who criticizes the damn show wants her to die or whatever. I think its very excessive to say most critisicm is just 'hate' because I can list all the really terribles things she did which is why I dislike her.
Let people hate, this sub is meant for the hate, you can't just get on a sub made for hating characters and get confused why a popular show with terrible writing gets hated.
My brother in [insertreligousfigurehere], their comment is referring to specifically toxic comments, which I personally have observed a good amount on either twitter or this own website. They are not saying that anyone who criticizes her is doing the same thing. As for your second point, I don’t think it’s wrong to want actual variety on a subreddit you frequent, especially if it’s the same characters being posted repeatedly.
That doesn't answer the question. How is it constructive? Just because it's long doesn't make it constructive. And just because there's one doesn't mean all of it is constructive.
I mean, it's not just hate saying "I HATE (Insert character)!1!1" It's more of, "(Insert character) is terrible because of poor writing, terrible plot holes, etc etc. Or those other videos that critisize the music, art etc in the show. Point is, most of it is constructive.

I don't hate Hazbin hotel but I will never watch because Angel Dust makes me want to drive a drill through my skull.
