Digital Circus Was Balls Enough To Answer A Question About Redemption: Not Everyone Can Be Redeemed And Some Self-Destruct And Become Worse
I Think TADAC with Jax showed that nope you can't redeem everyone and some people are a lost cause. And that's a hard pill to swallow. Redemption is something that is long and hard to recognize but the outcome is worth it and you will be a better person. But some people are so stuck in their toxic ways that they rather destroy themselves than change. And that's why Jax ultimately abstracted and it's something that Viv will probably be ballsey enough to do which is actually kill off a significant character with flaws who is very toxic but ultimately chooses to stay a pos. The closest could be Alastor but we know she is very protective of her favorites and won't ever think to actually make go through serious self-reflection on his behavior to improve or make a point he doesn't want to get better and Charlie's views are naive to keep someone like him tied with her. And most of all Jax unlike so many in the Hazbin series blames himself for how he is rather than try to shift blame. Hazbin's biggest sympathy card is use sad backstory to justify character and think that's a ticket to redemption, but in contrast TADAC says no a sad backstory doesn't shield you from being a pos who hurts others around them. When you continue to treat others like shit and push them away then you will undoubtably lead down a dark path like Jax ultimate fate was. People can't be saved if they don't put in the effort and that's the point that Hazbin misses which is putting in effort.
