Hot Take Thread

As I've gotten older, I prefer fewer and fewer super "perfume-y" and "flowery" scents. With a few exceptions like "cherry blossom," I prefer "cleaner" and "neutral" smells now like "sea breeze" for deodorant, shampoo, hand soap, lotion, body soap, etc.

I never cared for "perfume-y" scents and flowery scents can be a little overwhelming. I like those cleaner and neutral smells as well.
I used to be really into smells that were, in a way, artificial sugar. Vanilla, birthday cake, etc. Not a big fan of them now, they just make me feel a little sick from how overwhelmingly sweet they smell.

Oh boy, I can’t speak for Hazbin since I only saw the first half of S1, but i can say Helluva Boss’ writing is just godawful, especially in S2. They completely abort arcs and throw away potential for compelling stories in favor of some toxic ship, they kill off potentially interesting characters just for shock value (not just any background character ofc, those are fine, I’m saying characters as significant as like, Chazwick Thurman.), and clearly seem to prioritize jokes at the expense of the storyline and pacing, which is NOT something you should prioritize at all in storytelling. Jokes are all well and good, but not at the cost of those. 

But the biggest problem is easily the fan base, for reasons I’ve explained to death on this forum. Vivziepop herself can seldom handle criticism, let alone her fan base, and they’re basically enabling her to continue this way because they can’t bring themselves to say “okay, this episode could have been better” in a constructive way. They would rather just act like every episode is some flawless masterpiece and frame anyone who thinks otherwise as some toxic hater out to get Vivziepop. 

In the future, when this shows all done, I feel like people will look back on it and it won’t age well at all, with the problems I’m pointing out now becoming a lot more noticeable. 

I seriously pray the majority of people defending the show and acting like criticism = death threats and the like aren’t over 15, only because the alternative is much scarier.

Amen to that! Just trying to type basic words on a phone is a NIGHTMARE for me, plus the screen is bigger, I can categorize stuff more easily, do multiple screens easier, use a mouse for precision, etc.
