"Oh."

will rb with more if found.

or is hazbin creators/vas/animators/storyboardwrs/whatever else goes into shows mostly just tied to every other single terrible thing theyve done and the people they associate but haven't explicitly been racist

trying to finish readjusting my notes for my white friends who are in shitball fandoms to try and show them to stop and I can't find in my own notes if I lost racist hazbin stuff or if it didnt exist and I had a bad dream

There is an account that has collected Viziepop receipts on X/Twitter (and a few other accounts on Tumblr here too); I'll link it here and hopefully it helps.

MY HAZBIN HOTEL REWRITE HELL HAPPIEST HOTEL.

ALISTAIR!

So for this design, I really wanted to lean into both the dear aspect and the vintage one. He’s the kind of guy that stuck in his ways and doesn’t want to really move on so it makes sense that he looks like he was ripped out of a silent film. It also makes him really stand out from everyone else since he’s pretty monochromatic which also gives visible evidence to the audience that he’s meant to be important.

I also wanted to show more of his black features like giving him a short puffy kind of Afro style I find it very disrespectful and harmful that Alistair‘s original design has no features very obviously was changed to be black after Vivian got in trouble for using sacred images from voodoo I find it really gross that instead of just not doing it in the first place or inventing something like a unique magic system she decided to just race swap him and escape everything. I don’t hate her but I think it’s very irresponsible and offensive to both people who practice voodoo and for his historical and cultural representation of black and Creole people in Louisiana during Jim Crow law.

Also in my version he’s no longer killed because someone has took him for a deer. Instead it’s way more symbolic that Alistair for most of his life felt like a helpless prey creature. Someone that could easily be hurt by scarier things and as a part of his own complicated psychology and trauma response led him acting and gaining the power of the wolf becoming the predator.

Yeah, if you’re seriously defending this, please go ahead and block me.

The fact that this person wasn’t asked to leave by the con staff makes it that much worse.

“Oh, but it wasn’t blackface because they were cosplaying as a fictional demon.”

Alastor’s skin complexion isn’t that dark in the show and other Alastor cosplayers have never done blackface when cosplaying as the character.

This person was just looking for an excuse to act like a racist dumbass in a public setting.

Normalizing this shit is just going to encourage more racist cosplayers to attempt a similar stunt. And I’m frankly getting sick and tired of racism and bigotry being normalized in nerd spaces.
