vivziepop truly is the girlbossing, gaslighting, gatekeeper of indie anomation. this is like, the third time i can think of when there's public information about some shit that makes viv look bad, (ralphs/tony twitter where he called himself a whoreyboard artist as his twitter handle and accidentally sexually harassed a 15 year old, the livestream from viv and the two other art/animation leads for these shows that's lost media now, because she admitted things like not being able to draw anymore, hating octavia, or even more damning, not having enough money to pay velvet, one of the few female villians we have so far, to sing in the finale of her female led show,) and then without warning, it's purged. to hide her mistakes or the mistakes made by people she's associated with who make her look bad, because it's easier for her to lie to make herself look better then to admit the truth and take accountability, because that would imply she did anything wrong to begin with.

am i going crazy? does anyone remember anything about nichole b shipping rick and morty? or am i just screaming into the void rn? i don't wanna be known as a "source? bro trust me" anon :(

As Anon mentioned up above, Nicole B (Nicolebsicrete) was a visual developer for Helluva Boss season 1 and season 2 along with working on the Hazbin Hotel pilot.

Raphielle’s interaction(s) with the minor and being called out:

Vivziepop defending Raphielle:

Vivziepop’s response to said minor and defending Raphielle:

Seriously, her stans give her the bare minimum praise for everything even though she then backtracks for other stuff like merchandise. The biggest case is Raphielle which Vivziepop has liked and supported tons of stuff like that really rapey music video, non-con comics, and emphasizing Angel's bondage to Valentino.

And again she even praised her work and allows Raphielle on her team, so the idea that she handles the idea of having a rapist on her show at all is just bs. Again I don't think she could handle another sexual assaulter if she's just going to use them for merchandise but then again when you are trying to say that the Demon of lust would care about consent but are willing to allow a human sinner be more depraved then your logic worldbuilding is bs.

Thanks for sending this to me! Honestly, I know the majority of the critics and antis dislike him but I will admit Raphielle’s perspective is interesting.

Here are some notes I made while watching the video:

- Raphielle ships ValAngel but not in a “I want them to be happily ever after” but he likes the dynamic.

- Raphielle grew up with a conservative mother who controlled them for majority of his life.

- Raphielle didn’t know the user he interacted with was 15 years old. According to Raph, he allegedly checked their profile and there was no age.

2 months later, another user dug the conversation and informed Raph that user is 15. Raphielle clicked on the profile and the age was there. Raphielle panicked and immediately apologized.

- Raphielle (in the interview) detracts their apology because the user (the 15 year old) blew it up into this big thing.

- Raphielle deleted Twitter because he realized there are a bunch of minors in this fandom who have no business being here.

- Raph acknowledges how his content and the things he enjoys is triggering. He apologizes and mentions how he doesn’t want to be a problem for people.

- Raphielle says that you cater your own experience and create your own internet experience. And says to block and mute him.

- Raph says that it’s not his job to vet every single person who follows them. It’s the parents’ job to watch their kid(s).

- Raph says that ValAngel people are the nicest people he met because they are open and understanding.

- Raph loves the kink community.

- Angel Dust positively changed Raph’s life (when he cosplayed Angel) and realized this what was holding them back. Raph loved how unapologetically Angel Dust is.

- Raphielle’s first assignment was “Addict.”

- Raphielle took pole dancing classes because of Angel Dust.

- Raphielle helped design the “Poison” outfit.

- Raphielle has no contribution to what actually happens in the show.

- Raph practices BDSM for a while (before Hazbin).

- Raph says that CNC and rape fetish is the same thing unless you specifically love a scene where it starts out opening with the two characters being like “tehee let’s do this” then they go into the crazy scene that they are role playing out and then by the end you see the aftercare and stuff.

- Raphielle expresses he is a bottom.

- According to Raph, everyone in the project has consented to creating this non consensual scene. Raph did let the interviewer know that designers, animators, etc can put down what kind of scenes they are uncomfortable working on.

- Someone chooses to watch it beyond the warning (Raph is aware that there wasn’t a warning and is glad they added it), but once you see that warning and see what this is about- Raphielle acknowledges the Hazbin haters are fully aware of Angel’s story from Addict. And you the viewer decide to watch it, you are consenting to watching the thing.

That logic makes no sense. From what I’ve gathered, Raphielle made their ValAngel Red Smoke comic about 4 years ago in own their free time.

Probably like 1-2 people would debunk it. People are understandably more focused on Vivziepop and her dramas. This video is the closest thing we are getting to someone talking about rape and CNC in the Hazbin Hotel fandom.

The outfit looks nice. His hair really does look like Angel Dust (yes, I’m aware Raphielle is practically heavily influenced and inspired by Angel Dust).
