“The future of hell belongs to the VEEs!”

First of all, I don't want to shame anyone for liking any of these characters. Hell, I even do myself! This is not a personal attack on people who don't see any problems with them—just my personal opinion!

Let's talk about vees. Yeah, these vees we ALL LOVE: Valentino, Vox, and Velvette, respectively. Our beloved pron industry, television, and fashion industry, which are supposed to represent countless problems and crimes that people who set up this system commit. Let's see how, in my subjective, biased opinion, these three handle this task.

Vox is... huh, Tumblr sggxy man... yeah... he's got a beef with Alastor... hmm, did I mention he's sggxy? So yeah, that's definitely a character that exist. He fucks with Val a lot, but if his head wasn’t a literal TV, I don't think it would be that easy to figure out that he is THE television as a whole. He looks more like a random television host who really hates radio... or really wants Alastor. It's up to the free interpretation of the viewer. The problem of disingenuous advertising, corruption, and straight-up disinformation on TV is elegantly skipped. I think those are too heavy topics for an 18+ not for kids series.

Valentino, also known as the worst design downgrade in history, is just a criminally underwritten character, especially for a topic as serious as the porn industry. He is just a huge spit in the face to every victim of the porn empire. I hope minimal people of this kind are going to watch Hazbin Hotel. And, by the way, did you know he's a fucking moth? BECAUSE HE IS, BRO. HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A MOTH! How did they possibly mess up the design that badly? What's up with the stripes on his coat? And as if purposefully, the ugliest of the three feathers is left on his noticeably smaller hat. I understand the concept of simplifying design to make it animatable, but Viv, for some reason, decided to make him a fucking highlighter marker rather than a slightly threatening, charismatic moth.

Velvette, Velvette, Velvette... where do I even begin with you? The fact that Velvette is on a day-to-day basis chilling with the porn industry and TV empire... and I know, I know (Hazbin fans' favorite word alert), that Velvette is CANONICALLY an ageless demonic being or whatever the fuck Vivienne said on her stream. But I haven't been on her single stream; however, I watched the show in its entirety, and that's what I know. Every time Velvette is on screen, she acts like a 14-year-old at best.

I would like to ask you to take a look at this fuckass Jacks vs Skibidi Toilet rap battle.

This looks like a conversation between mother and daughter at a family dinner.

The fact that she is not the tallest didn’t help either. Her appearance and her attitude just rub me the wrong way, and I have a hard time taking her as an adult, if I'm being completely honest. Soooo, as we already found out, Velvette symbolizes the fashion industry, an empire that dictates to people all across the world what to wear, what beauty products to use, and why, specifically, they are ugly, unfuckable, and therefore don't deserve to be loved. And Velvette is the face of this system. A woman of color who acts 14... is the root of the industry that affects women the most... Is a woman... It just comes off as victim-blaming and creepy to me. Vivienne Morano actually said, “So, have you considered that you are the problem?” to a weman who had suffered from toxic beauty standards. And intentional or not, it's just not the best message to put in your work, especially if it’s supposed to promote support for women's rights.
