@thickwonga413@altruistor The issue is that Viv has a history of this; obviously the HH original summer release was out of her control, but she has teased things that never come to fruition. That doesn’t mean, however, that I will not appreciate the CREW on the show that puts in so much work.
@thickwonga413@altruistor see but that’s the thing. I think it’s pretty common place to enjoy a piece of media without endorsing the creators actions. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a fan of Viv, but I enjoy HH. But I’m also not going to bash the crew who put in the clear effort on this show.
@altruistor@thickwonga413 I’ll admit that I think people in this fandom infantize Viv with a lot of questionable things she does; HOWEVER, watching the show doesn’t equal being selfish over certain media being pumped out
@altruistor I totally understand that they wanted exposure on it to give the crew who worked on it their well deserve dues, but this seems weirdly fake and shallow to me-like you know your fans, who both publicly and monetarily support you, pnly for it to be nothing related to HB or HH
@altruistor at all. Like, I’m sure there were at least a few fans who payed a serious amount of money to go to this for HB or HH since it was advertised that way, only for it to be…not that
@c0smiclee This is the Alastor voodoo situation all over again. Even if you’re fine with it, doesn’t mean everyone is, and when it comes to racism and closed practices, someone’s concerns should not be brushed off or ignored. at this point SH is just trying to be edgy for the shock factor.
@EvaHellverse There’s a HUGE problem with white fans blantantky dismissing even the smallest of concerns from POC fans who have legitimate critiques of both shows. there were so many huge creators in here who defended the use of voodoo on Hazbin, a closed religion. Their concerns are valid.
@fieosk8 @EvaHellverse Basically the shirt portrays a gag from the latest HB short; it’s a penguin with the tagline “s!urs.” A lot of POC fans aren’t happy cause that can include A LOT of racially insensitive comments
@UgliestBug I completely agree. Listen I love both shows, but this is really poor planning on their part and just plain insensitive. Especially given that Hazbin has already come under fire for its cultural depictions of voodoo.
@fawnsil Honestly. Like yes, I’m very happy and fortunate for early access, but the way that the entire season is on TikTok is absolutely crazy; that doesn’t just happen to movies and TV shows on the regular-that’s some serious mismanagement that Viv or Prime or A24 needs to adress
@fawnsil NO FR. Like how did leakers, people who otherwise have no connection to pushing out episodes, manage to basically get the entire season out before the actual production company did???
