Yeah, and it was mostly the traumatic aspect if it that Morel Orel was trying to explore, even suggesting a woman's choice to abort after the event was too far for TV. Why is making fun of the concept of genocide, religion or even abuse/assault okay but the second someone tries to talk about trauma seriously on TV the plug is suddenly pulled? That infuriates me to no end.

So, this is just my anecdotal opinion, but I believe it is necessary to show the horror of SA to get people to take it more seriously. I'm an SA survivor and had to go through the wringer reporting and following up on my case only to see it mishandled by the University with the blatant power imbalance on full display. My abuser had lawyers and money, I had nothing. So, my abuser walked away scott free. I understand why some people may take offense to displaying SA in fiction in any form and that's their opinion, but I believe a diverse method of exposing this horrible thing is needed in our society.

What I don't understand is why people seem to be perfectly fine with murder, death, suicide, and SH being in media, but get upset when SA is discussed. These are all real things that people go through, and should be treated as such. Talking about SA in media seems to be entirely off the table to some people, which is I something I'll never understand, because those stories need to be told as well. People who went through anything like that deserve to feel represented and seen.

I think that's why people are so sensitive about how the topic is handled, because either their lived experience is just a joke and or something to laugh about, or as a plot device and or a tool, not to give depth to characters but to just have a shocking scene.

Blue eyed samurai handled it in one of the most beautiful ways, it never shies away from violence, nudity, s3x, etc, but the one character we never see naked is the csa and SA victim, she’s always covered by shadow/smoke/etc or we see her face, never her fully nude body, we also don’t see her bruises, they’re mentioned and implied (in a way that doesn’t shy away from it), but never explicitly see it, that choice was taken away from her constantly in her life, so we never get to take it from her too. It felt very respectful and serious.

She told me that if someone touch’s me then I have permission to fight back, and that if that happens scream as loud as possible. That I should tell her if anything happens. My mom was trying to keep me safe.

I wish my parents had that talk with me when I was younger because my school never gave us the 'Good touch, bad touch' lesson(which I highly suspect that my parents were hoping the school would do). If I had had this lesson, then maybe I wouldn't have been SA for 4 years(8-12)by my older cousin, who even manipulated me into thinking it was okay even though it felt wrong. But to be honest, I am not going to blame or hold resentment towards my parents for what happened to me. We were a growing family(a family of 6), and my parents were trying to do everything they could to give me and my little siblings a good life. Plus, after I finally came forward about my abuse, my mom cried with me and even found a therapist for me to help me through processing my trauma.

This topic is a huge deal. Speaking as someone who had a terrible experience in elementary school, I never felt comfortable with scenes of girl characters stalking and forcing themselves into clearly uniterested boys (why was this a common trope in cartoons?!). Regardless of who did it to who, it is not funny in any way, shape or form, not even if the villains are the victims of such. Pushing it any further without tact is a huge sin. I hope to be able to handle these kinds of topics properly and with maturity in my own works.

It also angers me how stigmatized boy's and men's sexual assault is. You have the guys who use it to invalidate women's sexual assault, but then end up being the same guys who contribute to it's stigmatation. They use it to push their misogyny without actually careing when it happens. There was a meme about a news report of a female teacher assaulting a teenage boy and the joke was that he said he "wanted it." Its not funny. He's still a kid. We ALL wanted it at the time. Because we were stupid kids who didn't realize how harmful it would be to us later on. Anyways. People shouldn't take it less seriously just because the perpetrator is an attractive woman and the victim said they consented. Children can't consent to adults.

As someone who has dealt with this kind of trauma with myself, I find that angel dust and his reaction to being abused is the most not only realistic, but also I can empathize with it. I started to become promiscuous after my assault and without the proper help I probably wouldn't be where I am today. I got into therapy and I learned that that wasn't my identity. I had more to offer than my body. Sadly, angel dust just from the time that he was alive. Probably never had that. Thus probably doesn't have the knowledge that this kind of help now exists or has the ingrained idea that therapy is just a whole bunch of malarkey. Whenever I hear someone say that this is fetishizing assault or that this is just something that shouldn't be talked about. I get angry because no this isn't being gross about assault and yes, people need to see it. If we don't normalize to talk about assault then how are you expecting things to get better.

And the heart breaking thing for me was my litgle sister who was 6.. and confessed after I had confessed.. and it broke my heart soo damn much making me feel guilty for not confessing sooner. But now we are doing better and that dude was arrested after 11 other girls confessed the dude SA'ing them aswell. We are all doing a lot better but the scars are still there.

Getting really tired of people only focusing on ONE aspect of Val's abuse of Angel Dust. SA isn't the only type of abuse he's going through. And, being a survivor of partner abuse myself, it's actually quite hurtful to see people flip their shit over just one aspect in it as if all the other stuff doesn't exist or doesn't matter. It's not just the SA that hurts and traumatises in such a relationship. There's the emotional abuse, the warning looks, the verbal abuse, the manipulation and gaslighting, the being smacked and kicked and beaten to the floor or being thrown or bashed onto or into something, the furniture or objects flying, the knowledge you have no control, no say, and that it will keep continuing. Those are all traumatising. And Val was doing ALL of that to Angel, not just the sexual abuse. I appreciate the realistic representation of it, but am furious that people keep reducing it all to one aspect and disregard the rest. On that note, I'm very glad you touched on those other aspects. (I can't comment on the other series, because I haven't watched them.)

What is really sad about the controversy regarding Hazbin Hotel is that from what I have seen from the comment-section of both reactions to the episode as well as uploads of the ‘Poison’-musical segment, so many SA-survivors truly resonated with the song and how it depicted Angel’s situation. Yet it feels like the ones who are angry about it are those that has never experienced that reality and are trying to drown out the voices of those that truly understood what the episode was trying to depict. Edit: So okay, I need to acknowledge that I had no idea about the discourse on Twitter surrounding the episode mentioned above since I don’t use Twitter for my own sake. I still think that people who resonated with the episode are valid, but the topic of SA (especially when it comes to the adult industry) is complicated and people are allowed to dislike the depiction as well. And that last paragraph wasn’t the brightest idea in hindsight, but I don’t want the comments below to lose context so it is staying there for the time being.

I feel like angel dust was actually done pretty well, because people would argue “oh he’s to sexual”, that’s because he’s hypersexual. Hyper sexuality is a trauma response for when someone has experienced sexual trauma (harassment, assult, abuse, ect.) and it would cause the person to have sexual thoughts or stuff like that. I have hyper sexuality myself due to sexual trauma from something I didn’t consider was trauma before I knew more about SA. Every case is different for people who are victims, every victim has a different case. And every victim has a different way of coping with it. So angel dust acting these ways is a really good portrayal of SA, because it’s showing that how people would react very different to their case. All of these have very good representation of SA and I kinda relate to angel dust because of that.

They were often bits in helluva boss (unclear if they still are as i dropped the series in the beginning of season 2) and it truly makes it hard to trust a creators intent when her past displays of sexual assault on men were jokes to ridicule a mans ability to “fight back” and also just consistent “im going to forcibly have sex with you” jokes. this doesnt take away from angel dusts character but it does make sense as to why people dont give a damn or are untrusting of it, the previous representation from a creator simply was making fun of victims who would be described similarly to angel dust after all

⁠@@anlydaly5726the reason is likely because Viv has been called out for Angel’s character multiple times before Hazbin officially aired finding a lot of his narrative to constantly feel fetishized. These critiques have been happening for years and so HH team honestly knew if they didn’t handle Angel well things would have gotten really messy, and while the actually conversation of Angel will always be divided it does raise a lot of question about how the whole teams treat other jokes or other cases of abuse being off putting still. Edit; I’ll clarify that the few other cases of SA jokes are very off putting for me because to me Viv was called out years ago, the team should know better. But I even think of other forms of abuse, something still present in Angel’s stories but for other characters often times people are very quick to dismiss other showcasing as “but it’s hell they are meant to be bad!!” all while understanding Angel’s situation., I think of how Blitzo very commonly verbally abuses Moxxie in Hellavu which has always been a joke (and fans have called it out as being overplayed). While the theming can’t fully contextualize in the same as Angel’s it’s weird how at times similar ideas of abuse- physical, verbal, emotional, etc are in these universes bypassed because in this situation it’s meant to be humorous. I’m not saying the inclusion is bad, i think to BoJack and how you can have deplorable characters be protagonists making Blitzo a fine candidate for the role but by making that the butt of the joke rather than Blitzo being a joke is an example of why I think abuse as a whole is a topic people tend to distrust Viv/the team with.

THIS!!! I didn't know I was coping with my SA with promiscuity until a really profound moment of self reflection. I don't need it but the trust, respect, and safety from situations like it, where you're in control is comforting. To find moments where you aren't afraid of it anymore is empowering. Watching the scene where angel explains how its not all an act and talks about it being an escape broke me. Cause yeah.. sometimes it is an escape from...well everything and turns into a place where you CAN feel safe. Everyone's experiences are different and it sucks to have your lived experiences become a target for victim blaming when its being discussed.

i think it's good to show that hypersexual SA survivors exist, and i think people saying angeldust is being fetishized or portrayed unrealistically are sometimes interpreting the show in bad-faith. however i feel like his arc wasn't given the time to breathe it needed to really sink in (angel's arc is not the only part of the show i feel this way about). i also have to wonder if there were any people behind the scenes who had personal experience with sexual exploitation or substance abuse, either writing the script or acting as sensitivity readers, because i feel like that's a really important step in portraying topics like this accurately

I wish stuff like this wasn't so stigmitized to discuss. I remember in college when doing Title IX training for one of my groups a person from a greek life group tried to say that SA never happened at any of their parties...even though I've been told numerous stories about girls being drugged and then taken advantage of at events. I knew a group of girls who went to different parties and had a whole buddy and check in system just to make sure everybody was safe. That shouldn't have to even be a thing in the first place, but nobody ever wants to actually talk about WHY that kept happening...if that man's attitude was anything to go off of. It's very frustrating to discuss when so many people will just put their hands over their ears when the topic is brought up.

I'd say take each scene in it's respective context. It's a show trying to be dark comedy first and foremost. And as dark comedies do, it will make light of dark subjects. But like Moral Orel or South Park, Vivzie is trying to make it a dark comedy with a heart and something to say. So there will be some scenes that draw serious attention to abuse, and then other scenes that will make a joke out of it. These are not real people. Sir Pentious is not affected in anyway by the "$$$ room" because the writers decided he wasn't, it's not consequential to his character arc nor the overarching plot nor anything beyond a running joke and tangentially his desire to form a romance with Cherri Bomb. Angel's experiences as Val's slave are the crux of his character arc, so the show pays much more severe attention to it.

I really liked how you brought up from the beginning that different people who experience SA will always react differently and sometimes people will react badly if an experience shown isn't similar to theirs or what they were told was the right way of handling it online. I do think there is something very compelling about Angel Dust's reaction to SA because very rarely do shows tend to show SA victims as having a sexual life or possibly being more vulgar personality-wise, cause a lot of times with SA a lot of the victims be shown to be more wholesome characters in animation. I do genuinely hope the show improves on how it tackled SA and will go more in-depth on the subject.

Even worse when the SAter gets pregnant and then the victim can't force her to abort the child he never asked for, and will legaly be forced to give his assaulter money for the rest of his days. Cause the child never asked to be born like this. Yeah, I get it... But at least give the victim something to latch on if he was actually assaulted by the woman... Comeone... Just saying, female victims who end up pregnant can (God... I HOPE they can) get rid of their assaulter's unwanted offspring. But male victims are 100% screwed if it happens. They can't do anything, and will even end up giving money to the woman who did this to them. They might even do that on purpose, it happened before. I know that it's unfair for the fetus... Bht it's unfair for the victims to see the result of their traumas for the rest of their lives, it's unfair towards them too, and I feel like the law does not really think much about this part as well...

They claim you have to "deal with your trauma" when this isn't dealing with the initial trauma, this is forcing more trauma on to that person. All victims will have to be permanently reminded that this trauma happened and that the perpetrator got what they want. Females will have to deal knowing their body will never be the same and its because they were forced to give birth to a baby that was forced onto them, and males will have to deal knowing their hard earned money is going to the awful person who forced this trauma onto them, and the law only wants the victim to hurt more.

As someone who was SA'd for 4 years by a family member at a young age, Angel Dust made my trauma seen, especially with his song poison. At first, I was so confused and scared, but he convinced me that it was okay and I wouldn't get in trouble but he told me not to tell anyone as it was meant to be our secret, to this day I wish I had told my parents everything and not stayed silent about it because it really messed me up. Was once the kid who never shut up, then suddenly became the angry, quiet, and violent girl that everyone avoided out of disgust or fear. It got to the point that during middle school, I became an easy target for bullying, and so I'd physically fight back. During that time of my life is when I finally told my parents about the SA and that DIDN'T make me feel any better and, in fact, made me feel worse to the point of wanting to take my own life. Mom then put me in therapy, and while it did help, the knowing feeling that I had to see him again in trial scared me. But after the trial, he was found not guilty, and therefore, I didn't get justice, and therefore, HE is STILL out there. Knowing he is still out there kills me inside as I feared he might find me and might do something to me. Now, during high school(I'm 18 and graduating this upcoming May), I put up this confident, dirty-joke loving, funny personality when in reality I feel like a lost soul unsure about my life, what I want, and what I need especially after being diagnosed with ADHD and have to be on medication for it.

That’s the thing- I think a lot of the people who liked episode 4 are taking that scene at face value, rather than in context of the whole show. The show up to that point had played Angel Dust’s occupation for laughs, even in the same episode, and then did a complete tonal 180 which made it feel jarring. And then, afterwards they went on like nothing happened. The scene is poorly set up, and that’s what ultimately makes it land flat for many. If Hazbin didn’t have such an over the top cartoony/juvenile comedy style, I think it would’ve been received far better. This is why shows like Bojack Horseman and Tuca and Bertie are far better equipped to cover serious topics: because they keep a consistent tonal balance and their humor isn’t so bombastic and in your face.

First off, great video, Apollo. I think you were very respectful of the topic and it was interesting to hear different examples of SA in media being portrayed with the seriousness it deserves. Hoo boy do I got a lot to say though on the topic of SA in shows mainly in terms of opinion. I think for the most part its good shows depict SA as a horrible thing or it causes some form of discomfort even making you distrurbed. This is how SA should be depicted, it should make people understand the victims hurt while also displaying the awfulness of the issue. Secondly in terms of if SA should be shown more, thats a difficult question. Obviously it depends on the wtiters and their message. I don't think every seires needs it,but I do think its good to have as a form of showing understanding in our culture or media. Make people undersatnd better the ways a victim can be hurt. Hopefully to better help them.

Alright continuing on from there, because this is a more specific opinion. On the Angel dust situation I think they actually depicted this really well. It's a very specific type of situation that most will go "Well duh I know what that is" but I feel like we don't talk about to much. The difference in types of sex work and the dangers in the difference along with the different forms of SA that accompany them. As far as I remember Vizi speaks up for sex work, supports it and wants ppl to have that freedom, there's plenty of men and women I've seen that genuinely enjoy it. But we can't forget there's a MASSIVE difference between someone managing or paying someone to manage their OWN onlyfans etcetera and someone who was contracted or even sought out to DO sex work. Remember VAL is a PIMP the situation and representation is going to be very different, that's a whole other type of world. And ai think they depicted it pretty well. Angel Dust clearly enjoys sexual activities or being slutty to some degree, we see that in loser baby, however the autonomy of that has been taken from him by Val, turned into the dangerous sides of some sex industries or even for say Instagram models who have fallen victim to pimps driving them out to another country for a "show". Treating them similar usally with physical intimidation to violence like Val to Angel Dust. It's one of the reasons I don't think his SA is romanticized, because Pimps often are known to revert to violence when they feel control of a victim might be threatened. It's a scary horrible thing, that deserves to be depicted as disturbing, violent, and evil as it is. Plus they never really show Val in good light, he's shot tempered like a child, constantly being bithced by Vox, easily paranoid, and lacks self control, they make you hate him and see he's got no good qualities. This is good its not making light of the abuse while making you hate the abuser and giving a complex relationship of the victim. He's a sex worker, it's not all Angel is, but it's a part of him, there's danger to specific sex work and things to look out for. The SA some can face there is serious and can be extreme, none of that is the fault of the Victim either, even if they enjoy Sex work. But coming to terms with that and where you stand is part of recovery, being aware reality to work on fixing it, that's the loser baby part, the dangers was poison obviously. But those are ma thoughts, judge them as you please P.S I wrote to much and started going a lil scramble brain.

As someone who's been on that road before (when my "garden" was "budding"), I admit that I do feel uncomfortable with what happened to Angel. You know what else happened to him? He overdosed. I'm sure that there are people who've overdosed, came back via Narcan, and either chose to never do that again or they end up back on the horse. We've seen that happening on TV, yet there was no uproar. Angel also died as Anthony. People always die in real life and/or on TV (onscreen or offscreen). No uproars. Yet when the concept of SA (even in shows as a PSA via "a very special episode") is brought up, we would treat it like one of the worst/most controversial parts of American history; "we know it happened, but let's never speak of it". We're practically denying it. It's serious whenever it's mentioned as SAAM in April (even though the SAers would ignore it due to their craving power). Yet, when it's brought up on TV, movies, and/or video games (maybe in music, too?), the whole thing is banned. In that case, why not ban our local news or documentaries?

But I can think on some abusers in animation. Judge Frollo can be considered a sexual molester, and he is shown to be a literal piece of shi t no one likes. Then we have Pastry Pete, again a piece of shi t no one likes. But then we can count Bojack Horseman, most people emphasize with him to some degree, but condemn his actions fully, and some just admire him. So yeah, you got a point.

SA is definitely a hard topic to discuss and it can make people uncomfortable, but I think you handled it very well and respectfully. I think it’s an important subject to talk about in a safe and controlled environment. Just simply pretending SA doesn’t happen invalidates victims, makes it easier for the assaulters to get away with it, and doesn’t teach potential victims how to stay safe. Of course it’s a heavy subject and that’s why there’s trigger warnings for it, but in a safe environment it is definitely worth talking about (Also, love the new overlays, and the animation you made was so smooth!)

What hit me very hard, as a SA survivor, is seeing someone on twitter claim that angel dust’s experience didn’t resonate with any survivor. When people went to check their previous tweets, they claimed that as a SA survivor they didn’t want to be seen as a “whore who fucked some random guy”. It’s sad to see that there’s a horrible view on hyper sexual people, and that because they act a way, that’s how they got hurt or it’s who they will be forever. Survivors don’t stick to each other anymore because lately there’s been built this weird thing that coping mechanisms make you the person you are. But it’s not; it’s just how you were taught to live. Yet people make assumptions and hate you. It’s awful

I think the thing that pissed me off was the amount of times I saw a tweet (often from a younger person) claiming that Angel Dust’s abuse is romanticized while at the same time showing clips and images of the abuse without actually putting a trigger warning on their posts. Which could be traumatic for someone who’s gone through that kind of abuse! Hell before the episode had even aired people were posting leaks of the POISON sequence. The show is 16+ and this episode was rated 18+ but I’ve seen users 14 years old or possibly younger post these clips-without warning to get people to see what a horrible depiction of SA this was. All the while complaining that they didn’t have a trigger warning when it first dropped.

Thank you for covering such a important issue in animation, I’ve noticed it’s just these shows , there are a couple of SA cases in the show what’s new Scooby Doo? And the specials using the art style , one of the them is the balcony scene in the episode/ film? Where Daphne is having a hard time getting to sleep because she is concerned that the song she wrote for Fred that she wanted to perform on a live talent show wouldn’t be enough to get her confession across and It’s just swept under the rug for the majority of the episode until some time until the end, there is a another one where I’m sure some thing that Velma suffered with her was just swept under the rug , I’m certain it’s her feelings towards someone else , it’s not just Scooby Doo, an Anime I love Called the irregular at magic high school had some interesting episodes involving the main protagonist’s sister dancing with a guy older than her, and my alarm bells were ringing really loudly during these episodes and I’m not sure if the show had its second season aired at some point

I honestly looked at the Hazbin episode scenes and *knew* that it was written by an actual survivor of SA. It's just that specific way of showing it that just *feels* like the person knows how it feels, and wants to show others how it does feel. Anyone saying otherwise wants to ignore thay SA is severely traumatizing and can cause people to hurt themselves to escape the pain, like how Angel Dust self medicates. And even the hypersexuality that Angel Dust shows is a coping mechanism too. I was verbally sexually abused by my "father" and even I was so scarred by it that I turned to hypersexuality to feel even a little less dirty. Even that minor form of sexual abuse was horrible, and sexual assault is even worse. Some victims even stop showering or brushing their hair, in an attempt usually to look gross and unappealing to their abuser

First off, pretty good your new persona design, background and your gif animation! Second, despite topics like SA been cruel and uncomfortable to see or read, is very necessary to talk about it in your show! People in the adult animation need to learn more that adult content is not just ultra violence, offensive jokes, sex and poop! Adult content can also be used to talk about serious topics and take them seriously. We are smarter than this and is good that we still have cartoons that actually take themselves seriously and try to have messages to say to the audience!

As difficult as this topic was and still is, I can’t say I’m not thankful for you covering this. I’m so fortunate to say I don’t relate to these unsettling experiences, but that in no way means I don’t understand the general feeling of shame for any reason. And regardless of how I may feel, anyone who has ever been in any situation even slightly similar to these things deserves to at least be heard and respected! And overall, I feel there needs to be a certain amount of respect for these topics in media, but all the issues you mentioned at the end are very valid questions and concerns! The last thing I want is to have these specific topics in something like, Blue’s Clues. But at the same time, I know trying to censor everything for kids is not really a good catch all solution either! I feel that maybe having the general subject of being forced to do something wrong, lie about it, and be scared into not speaking up could be explored in a way that both touches on serious topics like this, and still remain relatively G rated. Like say, in Sesame Street, Zoe could ask Elmo to grab her a cookie from a plate even after Zoe was told no. Elmo wasn’t aware of this until after Zoe is eating the cookie, and with both of them scared, they lie that…Slimey the worm stole it, and Zoe makes Elmo promise never to tell the truth! Obviously this is a less intense scenario all things considered, but if the team can play up the seriousness, kinda like what they did with the fire fighter episode which was in response to that scary day in September 2001, I feel it could work! That being said, for shows that are for older kids and especially teens and young adults, it might need to get a bit more serious, and depending on the demographic, it might need to be more explicit to get the message across, but in those scenarios, we start entering the zone where it’s very scary and uncomfortable and discussion needs to be very careful! I don’t have a perfect answer, but if my Sesame Street example is anything to go by, if done well, I think something could work…?

It doesn't romanticize it and it doesn't allow the viewer to decide whether the character's trauma is valid by just focusing on her trauma and not on the incident itself. It's shown how some of the character's friends react when she was younger, and how her current friends support her. It even shows how her sexuality has been altered due to the assault. I definitely recommend this show.

After watching the show, I almost forgot there was ever a drama about it because to me, the situation was handled well and accurately, whilst not seeming to take up too much time or made in a way that seemed like any kind of fetish. I don't know what people saw when they were intitially discussing it but I couldn't recognise any problems in the depiction whilst watching the show. I really appreciated how Angel's character and relationships, good and bad were portayed and it all stayed truthful to an experience that I haven't fully experienced but could relate to in part. It's really valuable seeing this being portrayed so that it can help bring more awareness and help people feel less alone.

@@VincentTFarmer Firstly, no-one knows anyone's true interests much less those only known over the internet. It sounds so parasocial to claim that anyone outside of Viv's friends/family know what she's interested in. Secondly, I don't think depicting important real world problems that people face like SA in an adult show makes it look like a fetish. There are age ratings for a reason, and many adults unfortunately experience these things and groups of people feel represented by Angel and his situation. I didn't see the leaks if that's what you're referring to (i.e. someone put a random song over the footage) or if it's the episode itself (Poison section). If it's the latter - Hazbin is a musical, of course there will be music for important sections of the show like a musical would. Poison is in the same type of music genre that matches Angel. Like how Addict is a pop/club song that matches his vibe. Angel is a star in the field and is featured when performing live, adult films, and music videos so this style of music also makes sense for that too. Plus the song dives into AD's character - the 'Angel' side that he uses to mask his self with and the 'Anthony' side which is more honest and true to his feelings and thoughts. It's all handled very well for the show, the character and was positive representation for people to feel seen by, whilst also leaving room for moments like later in the season where AD stands up to Val. With much more potential for things to develop in season 2. Angel's songs could form into a triology of sorts - Addict, Poison, & a season 2 song that could show how things developed with his situation and character.

TW: Mentions of personal experince with csa and shitty parents. Honestly, I wouldn't mind this topic being discussed more because it helps other people understand and it helps people like me feel less alone in that experience. I recently told my parents that I was assaulted by one of my dad's employees when I was 11 or 12 and it hurts to hear them defend someone who used me when I didn't really even know what was going on. To have your parents know about what happened and yet still blame you so they don't rock the boat, hurts. To see this, as a victim of CSA, it strangely gives me a sense of comfort; that I'm not alone in all these bad feelings and that it wasn't my fault. Maybe if my parents saw this more in the media they wouldn't blame me, I don't know, maybe it's just wishful thinking but animation is the key to giving people a look into someone else's world, and if they could see how it feels from the victims perspective maybe they would be better.

I would like to relate or empathize with Angel, and heck I felt something during watching. But after drama it's way harder, since Vivzie allowed rape fetish artist (who's not victim of SA themselves. They lied about it) to draw. Storyboard for Poison clip, F for animators and other people who putted effort, but that's why I like Addicted more. Plus there was no trigger warnings, and no saying that show is 18+ is not warning, SA victims got triggered by it. There's good things in the show, that I like but it's hard to be in fandom, due toxicity and creators' dramas. And then you can easily get triggered if not freaked out at least, by people who like Valentino for more than just being villain or having cool design... (who also ship him with Angel, excuse him etc. And in general ppl like such things in content). Also ppl excuse Angel's harassment towards Husk, and they get actively shipped, despite it making no sense. And Husk calling Angel loser for being raped... (And I don't think just slavery and sex slavery is same thing, Alastor is being monster sure, but not on the same level like Valentino. Who tbh causes most worst thing that is forced sex). Sir Pentious got raped basically, and it was played as joke. And then Stolas gets excused for being racist, sexual harasser and abuser towards Blitz, with unhealthy power dynamic. Yeah no.

To anyone bringing up the Moxxie & Sir Pentious scenes- The Moxxie scene was not played for laughs. Blitzø was so angry that Verosika and her friends assaulted his employee that he charged in there and confronted her, despite their history and his own problems with facing his past. Sir Pentious? Yeah, he was dragged away and if it had been left at that it wouldn't be funny but he came out unscathed if not a bit out of breath, with his clothes on. The club was literally called "Consent" and I honestly interpreted it as either the two who dragged him in were joking (he'd been doing the "because I'm ____ for everyone here!" and they decided to go along with what they thought was a joke) or that he clarified what he meant.

The "joke" is a rule of 3. The joke is "becasue I'm blank with everyone." An exaggeration of a trying to cover up being anxious and doing something senseless to avoid embarassment. With Pentious, yeah we could have done without the "Consequences" but like many have said given the name of the club and the previous portrail the joke might actually be that nothing happened. With Moxxie, if I recall, we get Blitzø visibly distressed. It's more a subversion of the joke in that we expect him to react different and he is both horrified and attempting to give Moxxie advice. I almost feel like most people expect those situations to be jokes and so they don't react with horror instead. (Note that in both instances it's a man and such jokes are often seen as "appropriate" esp in adult media. So when situations like that happen people jump on them being "jokes". IDK maybe I'm way off base. I haven't seen either scene recently enough to know exactly how they read. I didn't really read Pentious as a joke though.

I have yet to watch the new series of Hazbin Hotel, and although I wouldn't say it's my thing as it seems to have a lot of highs and lows, I have been interested to see it because of its discussions of SA and the controversy that's surfaced regarding it. Mainly because I want to see for myself how it's specifically executed. I enjoyed your video and appreciate you handling the topic more mature than most I've seen who've discussed similar themes, and like you also said, I am grateful that it sheds light on how SA effects male victims as it still disappoints me that a lot of people will easily dismiss them because they aren't the majority of cases. In secondary school, I was unfortunate to not only have an uncomfortable encounter with someone who ended up attacking me in class, but also be falsely accused as a suspect of SA by someone else who I didn't even know. Both were separate instances within the same year. Thankfully, it's all in the past and I am living healthy, but after experiencing both sides, I've realized how much of an uphill battle it is to come forward against someone who's wronged you or prove your innocence against false accusations, because before you even get to speak, people have already made up their mind on whether you're guilty, and even if you have evidence that proves your innocence, they're reluctant to change their minds. If I had not reached out to the head teacher about it, I would've not had any closure, and I would've likely been expelled for something I didn't do. However, I'm glad this wasn't the case, and I was proven innocent after the girl who accused me admitted she was doing it to maliciously get rid of me, but I will criticize the school for not giving her any punishment despite the severity of what she did. Ever since, I've never really been that comfortable with discussions and portrayals of assault/inappropriate behaviour, especially in animated media where it tends to be done only for laughs and any serious talk of it is downplayed or treated in a manner that's in poor taste. The 'stalker girl' trope like the kanker sisters from Ed Edd and eddy come to mind. Apologies for long comment, I respect how well you handled the discussion and wanted to share my experience on the topic.

I use age regression myself. Sometimes purposefully but often not. As upsetting as the episode was and is it felt somewhat comforting to know it wasnt just me that responded to trauma in that way.

I haven't dealt with SA, but I have dealt with physical abuse and mental manipulation and with just that alone I can empathized with Angel Dust. Val having Angel be the one that sends Charlie away, has him be the one that yells at Charlie while he stands back satisified is very frightening because of how accurate it is. Abusers will try to force you to burn bridges so people are less likely to help you or feel bad for you. They will gaslight you to think the abuse you're recieving is your fault and will make you walk on egg shells to avoid whatever they've manipulated you into believing you did wrong in order to keep the abuse from happening again. When you're being SA'ed, especially by someone prominate in your life, there's so much more abuse behind it. Emotional, psychological, pyshical, etc. And it's important to show these in media because there's a good chance people will recognize the signs and it will help destigmatize it.

What annoys me about the Hazbin hotel one is that people were mad over it before the goddamn episode even came out. They hadn't fucking seen it.

And so many people walked back on their original complaints when they got the full context. Social media has made people way too reactionary.

@@No1shigeokageyamafan oh look! It’s the end all be all critic who wholly determines what’s good and what isn’t! Forget all the people who genuinely like the show, feel passionate about it, and find a genuine sense of comfort in it’s characters! This random individual says it’s bad so that automatically makes it bad because their opinion is apparently the only one that matters! /s Man GTFO with that sh*t.

I have age regression very often, atleast once or twice a day. And even though thankfully it isnt because of anything nurse bendy went through, knowing it has a name and its normal, i guess, feels nice, so thanks c:

This is a great breakdown of the topic at hand! I know the focus is western animation, but one of the most honest depictions of an SA survivor I have seen was in the anime Banana Fish. The main character goes through a lot, but it is all addressed with the weight it deserves.

Off topic but your mic is so nice and clean, it makes commentary like these bearable to listen to like some videos will be too loud or too quiet and i'd get bored of the content easily. the sound quality is the first thing i noticed about your video!

Never been assaulted (thank god) but my empathy is there and this is an act that NEEDS to be shown more, and correctly! Moral Orel was great! But since Mysoginy is rewarded by Capitalism, they won’t show it. To think JOJO of all things has the single best depiction of SA in any media.

That whole scene with Sir Pentious feels even worse because it's clearly shown that he doesn't understand social cues very well, so the fact that there are people saying that he deserved it is rather sickening. Also, I don't care if the show literally takes place in Hell it's gross that such a topic is taken seriously with one character but played for laughs with another.

Oh, another big thing I want to touch on. When I was watching Helluva Boss with a 9 year old. I realized that it's really easy to explain war and violence to a kid. Because kids already know play fighting. Kids understand anger. Kids understand what fighting is, and war is just a natural progression of fighting. So war is actually a lot easier to explain to a child then sex is. And while sex for procreation can also be explained to a child. Sex for pleasure is a solid gray area. And in Helluva Boss, sex in exchange for power, or manipulation is completely child-unfriendly. To compare with Hazbin Hotel, you can explain to a 8 year old that Angels and Demons are at war, and that murder is part of war. Violence is understood. But trying to explain the dynamic Blitzo has with Stolas is just beyond complex. So that reason, I do think sexual topics should be held to a higher standard than violence. People always act like "oh, war is worse than prostitution, so why do we censor sex, but we don't censor a beheading?" It's because the concepts behind those things are different. Simple violence is easy for younger watchers to understand. But complex violence like torture and trauma are a bit much. --- I don't know a good answer. I don't have a good solution. But I'll say this. That even though shows like Hazbin and Helluva ARE DESIGNED FOR ADULTS, it won't stop kids from getting access to them. The reason I sat with an 8 year old to go over Helluva Boss, was because he was already 2 episodes in, and was going to watch it regardless. All I could do as a responsible adult was to make sure I explained what he was going to experience in the most responsible way possible. And when we sat down and watched Hazbin. I specifically had us skip the SA episode. And because I'm not a crazy prude, he respected me enough to agree with that. And getting kids to agree with stuff can be hard. I summed it up for him, and kept it PG. === I almost wonder if the "animation is for children" stereotype actually cuts both ways. Adults will refuse to watch animation, because they think it's for kids. And kids will be drawn to it, because they think it's for them. I think an artist should be free to express their stories in whichever medium they want. I think parents should be more involved in what their kids consume.
