Ok. I would like to think I have the knowhow to analyze a piece of music like this. Let's go over what this song says, how it says it, and why it is such an incredibly, mind-bogglingly horrible way of treating Sexual Assault.
their uplifting message is "you're a loser, that's ok! own it!" Which would be a fitting moral for, idk, a character being bullied? But in this scenario "owning it" is actively engaging in behaviors that are harmful to a victim, calling themselves a "coked up dick-sucking ho"
It starts off fine Enough. I think that keeping the character's sarcastic cynical personality is Fine, if not a little tonedeaf. This is a deeply sensitive topic for any person, and he responds with insults and name-calling.
This actively backtracks on Angel Dust's character development, and asserts the show's point that "if you were raped, you're just a slut! It's ok, being a slut is cool though."
This is obviously wrong, and I think the show is aware of it at this stage, as angel dust responds reasonably offended. However, they try and do a twist on this idea and recontextualize the chorus to be a more uplifting message... the issue IS
This message isn't portrayed as the wrong point of view, Husk isn't criticized, and this is instead characterized as a turning point for Angel Dust's character. Lines like "Lose the self loathing, excuse yourself let open" "play your card, be who you are" are so wildly
The issue with this song isn't the inclusion of it in a show like this, I think portraying a raw, real vision of what SA can be like is a noble cause, but the show treats it with absolutely zero respect and actively hinders the growth of those who are affected by it.
harmful when the point you're making to a survival of SA is "be who you are, a drug addict whore!" to someone who says themselves in the time up to the song that this is an escape, and they didn't ask for any of this.
It makes me laugh when people call big blue bubble greedy when they have maintained such a genuine care for making a Good Game that People Like unlike most mobile games that make you feel like youβre being held on a leash the whole time and forced to pay up
Even if they were to immediately turn around and say that husk is wrong in some tweet or something, that doesn't change the very clear intent behind this song's composition and lyrics. This could've been the point in which someone Angel Dust can relate to tells him that
he's more than his vices, and can move past them. Keep the backing composition of the song but give it a message of hope, that we're more than what is forced upon us. The message of being who you are COULD be
If you're a hazbin hotel fan who's finding this thread, I ask that you seriously reconsider your support for this show, because I know for a fact the creator has doubled down on this type of claim. This isn't just poor representation, it's indicative of this show's beliefs.
Sorry for my sort of winding thoughts on this, writing stuff like this isn't my strong suit, but I just find the point this song makes incredibly baffling... how did this make it to the final release, did no one see the issue with it?
this is mostly just incompetence and not malice. I still think the fetishization of SA is prevalent in other parts of the show, obviously people know about the one storyboard artist, but when given the context of the full show it's more messy writing than bad intentions, at least
If you really badly still want to engage with it, I canβt really stop you. The most I can hope for is that those who do continue are well-read on the issues at hand and donβt just blindly defend it. Also donβt give viv money, thereβs reuploads of the eps everywhere, anyway
Cuz at the end of the day to maintain media literacy and be able to analyze things like this, we need to pick apart what the problems are with art. Im not gonna sit here and criticize the animation, voice talent, or otherwise cuz I donβt really see any issue with those things
ADDENDUM: Giving the show a full watchthrough, including a second pass at the episode, I think this song was MEANT to be the point I gave, with "being who you are" meaning "stop masking your real self behind your more sexually-driven persona," meaning
Of course thereβs still a cost, but that comes with buying any number of currency or anything. Like itβs not like thereβs some βremove adsβ button or smth, u can spend like 5 bucks on diamonds and get the other stuff just as a bonus and a thanks for supporting the game
This image is up there in one of the funniest honestly because of how time and time again it proves itself to be accurate. Woody Woodpecker summoning the entire country of brazil to defend him is a documented and well known phenomenon and that rules
So I donβt really care all that deeply if someone still likes the show, there are aspects about it that required a lot of work and appreciating that work, to me, is justified. Still, be smart about it, and know it has flaws (and dont financially support things u dont agree with)
I think the craziest thing bbb was able to pull off was making me look forward to rares and epics post anniversary year. The quality of variants after then has consistently been top notch and just as exciting to me as entirely new monsters
I love Xβrt so much, I love how perfectly it encapsulates that βcreepy gross kookyβ type of visuals MSM is most known for. Its sound is so WEIRD but in the BEST way, this weird garbly growling really compliments yooreekβs parts well, and also makes for a fun transition part

If only there was a way to get milk that didnt waste all this perfectly good cow. Oh well *I wring a chickenβs neck in order to pop it open and get its eggs out from inside of it*
Ok so this is 110% teasing mirror fire/magical islands. The ground has the exact same adjustments that mirror islands get (hue shifted to be purple, saturation adjustments) and itβs being teased alongside a workshop wave (which uses mirror islands to function)
And also I go into most games expecting to need to buy them, they need to keep the lights on somehow and Iβd rather spend 5 bucks to play a game I really do like by developers I trust than be given popups for 50 subscription services and gold passes constantly always
I know what I said before about documents, but this is kind of an important thing for me to post. All I ask is that everyone who reads this treats the topic with respect and empathy to those involved - including mantis herself.
Ok let me lose my mind for a second
THE MIRROR TIMELINE IS A TIMELINE WHERE ZARROΓβS EXPERIMENTS START WAY EARLIER AND THE WORKSHOP ETHEREALS ARE ABLE TO ESCAPE
I think people gloss over how cool it is that floot fly, mimic, and pongping were all brought back out of being unused concepts, like a game company going into its scrapped content to repurpose it for something new is always super cool to see and I donβt get to see it often
Ok so magical nexus is the single best song in series history hands down right? Like literally every song that was previously in S now gets put in A, itβs that transcendent of literally anything the series has put out before
βWe had a good thing, boy! We had the chicken man, we had a lab, it all ran like clockwork, son! Boyβs gotta mouth like a cannon, always shootinβ it off. Youβre like a stick of dynamite, son. Canβt resist blowing it up! I say-I say, your pride and ego got the better of you, son!
New batch of seasonal concepts! Carnaval and Autism Awareness Month, u know the deal inspos in thread critique appreciated

I think people are kinda unnecessarily mean to mpg sometimes? When you have that many eyes on you sometimes uβll do things that are embarrassing and awkward, but judging off how Iβve seen him act when dealing with serious topics outside of the public eye heβs still a good person
in case you can't tell, I find this stuff Really cool... there's two other languages in msm of varying importance that will likely never be translated. I wanna know how to read aramonic LET ME PLEASE
Question for my singing monsters fans, what are the limits of the bone element? Do you think a design must include literal bones on it, or can it simply be based on the undead in general? Do dinosaurs count since theyβre primarily found via fossils? What about exoskeletons?
We may be in the middle of Echoes of Eco, but Punkleton has arrived in the Monster World to bring a lil' bit of Spook to your dayπ!Β
Punkleton Rare Punkleton, and Epic Punkleton are available for a limited time to buy or breed!
Come hang out with the Monster-Handlers on MSM Live! You won't want to miss this one! We've even got a special guest lined upπ
Tomorrow, March 6 at 5 PM ET. Only on our YouTube channelπΊ
Honestly. Whatβs stopping us from just making a new MSM wiki aside from just the work. Like, clearly the fandom mods donβt wanna move, but do we even need it?
Adblockers are essential for browsing the internet at this point, one of the main reasons I despise fandom wikis. It isnβt much better than this lol, and the fact sites like this exist and arenβt a form of parody is baffling

Hey!! Iβm back on here, feeling a bit better. Easing into a teeny bit of a rebrand. Exclaim itself will stay largely the same, but I want the channel to be a project I run instead of a representation of me. Iβm Melody, not Exclaim, Exclaim is the youtube channel.
Adult hornacle is pretty pirate lady im good with this
Rare whiz bang is SO funny cuz I was so confident in cotton candy trans flag whiz bang and then BOOM elton john jumpscare. I like this it is funny
Saying this here as I made an announcement in fissure too. I WILL block people who I find out are still fans of mantisgirl. She has hurt me and the people I care about deeply and for the sake of my mental health I do not want her having any ties to me. I hope you understand.

Whatβs crazy is fwoot was never even playable in the original game. It showed up in backgrounds and stuff but never had a 3d model. Wasnβt in playground either, and its only msm appearance is in dof as a prismatic.
Crystal Quad prediction! Crystal, in addition to its themes of time and such I go over on Handlerβs Hideout, also has running themes of wisdom and intelligence. So the quad uses its mirror mask to refract its vision across timespace and see multiple worlds at once!
Ok guys im just gonna say it. One day, dipster island will happen. I donβt know when, I donβt know how, but it is a certainty in my mind. Moreso than mimic island honestly. Screenshot, bookmark, whatever this tweet. It will happen I am telling you.
@momomomoonpie
Husk trying to show he can relate to angel dust, and trying to say that we all have rough spots or whatever, but it ends up just veering into the complete wrong take to have
Do u think during every meeting at kelloggβs they go βthat toucan displeases meβ¦β and brainstorm a new avian beast to sell their accursed loops
