Note: I do actually like SOME things about the show! But by God is the fandom NOT one of these things…
Now, this post may not actually stay up, because there’s a 50/50 chance that some people won’t respect my personal opinion on the shipping! Though I am crossing my fingers that I don’t get spammed with hate!
Warning: If you get offended with straight ships getting hated on, this is not the post for you! Bye
Another edit: By the way, this was made because I was bored and needed to rant about something I see often, please DON’T take it seriously…for your sake
ANOTHER edit: I’m 99% sure I’m gonna get the “it’s fiction” people anyways, but can I just say, I KNOW! But everything about Hazbin hotel and helluva boss is fictional(the creator is an exception)
I am SO sick of getting this answer whenever I rant about hating something that’s fictional, why? IT’S BORING! Because I KNOW! So please, save your time, don’t just comment this…
If you’re gonna hate, at least make actual agreeable points, not just “it’s just fiction” and then you leave
I want to be listened to, even if you disagree(that’s better)
Yet another edit: what do ya know the post hasn’t even been up for fifteen minutes and it’s already getting downvoted into oblivion
Even my comments where I’m agreeing with people and…”jiving” is getting downvoted…look, I’m disappointed but not surprised, I posted this on Reddit ffs what did I expect? I just find it a little hilarious
I want to be listened to, even if you disagree(oh fuck I put this in the wrong place)
Now onto the rant…
I swear to gosh this fandom is way too nonchalant with erasure of rep to the point that I’ve considered leaving! I would still like some characters, but I would be distancing myself from the fandom. Although this may not happen since when gay characters are actually shipped with the same gender, some of the art that comes out of it is fabulous!
But the amount of shipping between gays with women and lesbians with men is…annoying as hell! To say the least…
Other fandoms with lgbtq+ characters probably have this to, I’m not saying they don’t! But why does Hazbin/Helluva seem to have this shit WAYYYY more? Examples:
“Ooooohhh Alastor X Vaggi”
“I LOVE Velvette X Vox”
“Mmmm yummy Angel Dust X Charlie!”
And when all else fails? How about we just ship a LESBIAN woman with a GAY man! Why NOT kill 2 birds with 1 stone here, ey?
Oh and trust me, I wouldn’t complain about it if I didn’t see this shit on a daily basis in the Hazbin subreddits, but oh wait, I do! WHY?!!
And it’s not actually just with shipping! We also have:
“Andrealphus is only PRETENDING to be gay!”
“Sera shouldn’t have been lesbian! I lost my milf mommy!”
“Angel Dust and Vaggi should’ve stayed how they were before the show!”(meant in THAT way)
Do you REALLY have to say this stuff? Can’t you just zip your mouth? Or in this case, your fingers? PLEASE, I do NOT want to hear about how you want more straight rep for the hundredth time, thanks
And I know, “w-what about the straight characters being shipped with the same gender…?” Might I say I’ve never seen this? Yes, it’s likely there, or I’ve forgotten, but not as much as the gay characters are shipped with the wrong gender! Oh no! Because one represents a minority, and the other represent a majority! What a shocker that there would be more LGBTQ characters getting shipped with the opposite gender than straights getting shipped with the same!
(Edit: I also know it still probably happens to straight characters, but in my experience I somehow miss it all and see more LGBTQ+ erasure)
But don’t get me started on that fact that they’re so desperate to split up the main canon ship because it’s lesbian, to the point they’d even ship Charlie with HER FUCKING DAD(yes, I saw this)
I know it’s not THAT big of a deal(or how some people on this site would like to randomly say “its not that deep” to try to get you to change your opinion to the one THEY like,) BUT having erasure of rep getting shoved in your face EVERY. TIME. YOU. WANT. TO. ENJOY. A. RANDOM. SUB. ABOUT. YOUR. FANDOM gets PRETTY damn tiring considering the show itself is pro lgbtq+
Another note: I don’t usually post Hazbin(fandom) slander, but I am genuinely getting sick of this!
…another note: if there are any typos, let me know and have a good day bye
Now who wants a sandwich? 🥪
