kind of surprised you didn't talk more about valentino getting merch, honestly. but yeah, totally insane how viv treats her fanbase. /gen

i don't find the way he's handled in the show (or the posts vivzie makes/likes about him) to be any more distasteful than making merch of valentino to be honest. i'm not saying i don't think it's weird or offputting, but stella (at least according to the show) is intended to be this turbo abusive violent husband beater and she consistently gets sexy merch all the time. there's one (maybe more) old valentine's art of her literally featuring impact play gear. the woman who apparently hits her husband enough that he can expect it enough to effectively intercept it

there's 0 tact when it comes to earnestly attempt to depict abuse in these shows and i'm not really surprised they get merch. tasteless but not at all surprising

#ask #helluva boss critical #hazbin hotel critical #these shows have a consistent habit of REALLY wanting the characters to be blorbos above anything else #of which they will water down any more serious elements to make them more palatable. as blorbos #speaking as a guy who loves horrible messy characters its incredibly disappointing LMFAO #this is mean sorry but valentino feels like a high schoolers first foray into 'i can write really deep stories guys...'#'heres my character based on evils people commit for REAL...i'm 15 and i know what im doing' (they do not know what they're doing)#honestly valentino is someone i avoid talking abt for a myriad of reasons but #hes so unbelievably just. poorly handled that when they make another tasteless choice with him #all i can do is roll my eyes
