The basic idea is that the universe is unjust and gods sends people to hell for "sins" because of his own bigotry.
Of course, they dropped all that when they realized that gay tumblr ships were going to get more views that whatever the original point was.
- The show was Tumblr as hell from the jump, they didn't drop anything, that's always been the whole point.

  Welp now I'm sad about Welcome to Nightvale again.
  
  I've never heard someone say it that doesn't make me sound homophobic but yes, there it is.
  Went from weird, interesting plots and relationships to playing with dolls
  
  At least we got some good dark lofi mixes out of it

Viziepop is obviously not a Christian though, I think she just likes the edgy gay hot topic aesthetic.
- Who doesn't like that aesthetic?
  
  holds up spork

Tbf while I've heard that Vivzie is kind of a crypto-bigot(not talking bitcoin), you also just like probably couldnt get a show greenlit about just torturing bad people in hell, you might be able to make a french horror movie out of that but idk about an animated show.
Probably also a symptom of like pop culture trying to be subversive about heaven and hell and all that stuff.
- Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell did it funnier and better
- Sure you could, if it's really cartoony and make it clear that these people are awful and have learned nothing.
  
  I just dont think that you would get greenlit if you went into any kind of office and pitched "Slapstick Hitler in HELL!", it sounds like a running gag for a struggling artist in a sitcom.
  I feel like the only companies that would consider it, would also just not think that the premise is funny enough to survive beyond one or two short films.

All I know is that people are horny for the demons
Which, I mean, okay
- She even calls the audience out over Werewolf in Helluva Boss
  
  You make a horny furry show about furries fucking and get mad at me for sexualizing it?!
  E: curiosity got the better of me. How did Vivz call it out?
  
  deservedly so, there's enough Loona shit out there that I very regularly see people complain about there being too much of it. I think there's more stuff of her than of any other single character relative to the age of the source media.

"The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of angels and God and at liberty when of Devils and Hell is because he was a true poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it."

Better to be gay in hell than straight in heaven

it is simply a very stupid show and they didn't think about it that hard

it's on prime now
- thats a way to learn that

Is hell fun, at least? I'll go if it's fun. I don't even care if everything is cast in an eerie red tint.
- Hazbin Hotel's Hell is pretty gnarly. The basis is that hell is getting overcrowded, so there's a lot of hell slums and whatnot. The spinoff Helluva Boss makes it very clear that Hell is mostly the same as the Earth above: work for a living or suffer in poverty. There is an elite class of aristocratic wealth and everyone else.

Imagine seeing Kissinger in VivziePOP writing, just "Yeah I fucking killed those kids too you son of a b*&ch" kisses hitler

Confederate State of America was my first thought when I saw the CW.

who says there aren't any pedophiles?

and every joke is just "fuck fuck sex shit fuck piss shit fuck sex sex sex!!!!"
- Just like me fr fr

My main problem is how commercialized it is. There's been like 90 rounds of merch, there's a patreon, you can pay to watch the 2 episodes early there's multiple tiers of paying for early access too), it's on two streaming services, half thenvideos uploaded on the channel are trying to sell you something. I checked out a while back and only got back to pirate the first two episodes
- About 23 minutes

Is the show actually any good? I like the art
- I like it, it's like Spencer's Gifts and Hot Topic got together to make a cartoon, lots of "and then the babies died horribly" jokes that are edgy but still feel almost kid-friendly because they fly past you and aren't dwelled on.
  It's the spiritual successor to Invader Zim, is what I'm saying.

  Well, you've sold me, that's all you needed to say.
  
  There's a section in one episode which is a minute of a person going through the voice mails sent by their abusive pimp played to the audience without a single joke.

My friend showed me the pilot and I loved it. Now that they won’t talk to me anymore, I don’t think I can watch it.

set in hell
all the characters are white
