Can someone explain hate watching to me?
My mind cannot comprehend watching a show, getting into the characters and lore, just to be a snarky bytch and criticize it 24/7.
Like.... then don't watch it? Just walk away? Why are you clogging Fandom spaces just to whine and gripe about something no one is forcing you to watch?
Like, what?!
My theory is that Helluva Boss is so successful because of how polarizing it is.
It's hardly the first of its kind but I find that the show's popularity and general like interesting when contrasted with the high volume of YouTube video essays that (some being in good faith to be fair) who pick it apart from meager plot holes to the messages it may or may not be sending. I think this contributes to the show's success:
-You have fans of the show who've been here since day one who are either enjoying where the show's going or have commited to some sunk cost fallacy of "One day it will be entirely to my tastes, I just know it."
-You have Video Essayists who are keen to make their low opinions known about Stolas/Blitzo, the show's pacing and character writing. Their audience takes Helluva for hot garbage while fans will step up to object for the sake of their faves.
-This either leads to avoiding the show to avoid the fandom or becoming curious about the show that's been hyped as hot garbage. However, you find that it's either good actually or your hot garbage.
I also think it relates to a Tumblr post I found here that relates to how some writers are afraid of their audiences or making them mad: https://matt0044.tumblr.com/post/778507231345999872
Vivzie is anything but afraid. She stick to her guns and the direction of her stories without compromising it to please XYZ YouTuber be they decent or scummy. And that vibe, I think, keeps people from just walking away from it.
It's not like some live action remake slop that we whinge and toss aside until the next one comes to whine about. You can tell that Vivianne and her team put their all into this without some corporate overseer sticking their hand in where it shouldn't be.
And it's especially not afraid of being problematic or messy. I think... that's why I like it at least. And I think that's why its hard to put down for certain hate-watchers.
Anyone else felt this way?
why the FUCK was there a twin peaks ref in riverdale
i do not understand people who insist on paying money to hate watch something. like going to the theater to see something that you know is made by someone who is evil and bad or you know that movie has a really awful message that shouldnt be supported etcetc. like you just supported that media. you just gave it money. it doesnt matter whether you liked the movie or not, you just supported it regardless and the makers count you as engagement.
it still doesnt make sense when you watch it on a subscription service you already pay for. yeah you pay for it anyways but the analytics for the show or movie wont count you as any different than the people who loved it. if media was only ever consumed by people who hate it, media would still be made and profited on. those motherfuckers who made the show that was so bad and should never have been made are gonna see that they got a ton of views and thus that content is profitable. other people who make shows will also see that that type of content is profitable.
youtubers and other kinds of content creators who are infamous and awful and are widely hated often keep making content, not just because they still have fans who support them, but also because people who hate them still give them attention and viewership.
if youre gonna hate watch something so that you can "form a full opinion on it" or whatever other excuse you have, Pirate That Shit.

i’m determined to finish feud since i’m more than halfway done with it, but i’ve been zoning out so often i never have any idea what’s going on anymore. is this mortal trial an illusion? an alternate dimension? how is his body still in the heavenly realm? is this even the same timeline? why does he like her? why does anyone like him? someone please explain because i’m not going back to rewatch.
yes, criticizing something doesn’t mean you don’t like it and yes you can be critical of something you love, but at a certain point you really gotta ask yourself; do you actually like the thing that your being critical of? Are you sure that you’re actually enjoying that show or that book or that movie or that game? Or has the more and more criticisms you picked out from that piece of media tainted your enjoyment of said piece of media?
this isn’t a “don’t you dare criticize the things you enjoy, you’ll never enjoy them again when you do” post, this is a “you can be critical of the things you enjoy post but recognize that at some point your love for the thing your criticizing may have been poisoned, and now at this point your simply following that thing just to critique it.”
I'm having so much fun hatewatching hazbin hotel. There's so much irony poisoning, it's so good to see the world kinda shit on the show and collectively touch grass.
HOWEVER Nifty doesn't engage in any irony poisoned behavior. I'm shocked that I like the "lol so random" character most, but she's the most consistent and sincere character on the show.
