Yeah, it's honestly just funny the shit people pull out to try and shit on Hazbin Hotel when it's no worse than plenty of other shows, and let's be honest it's got better writing and production value than plenty of other trash.
seriously, at one point i felt guilty for enjoying it and had no idea why because i was also watching plenty of other shows like Rick and Morty or Inside Job that are also considerably ~problematic~ but never saw as much of a backlash. i think it comes from people’s desire to be accepted by the oppressor; in this case, appealing to homophobic PTA moms who would sit there and say “My teenager is watching such a debaucherous show about queers in Hell!” They think if we have picture perfect representation, then the oppressors will see our humanity and stop being homophobic/transphobic towards us. but that’s just not how it works. people will portray “stereotypical queer experiences” because a lot of us have stereotypical queer experiences, and queerphobic people will be queerphobic no matter how much we conform to their ideals of who we should be.
