probably not the best example. The writing turned to shit because it didn't have a real fleshed out plan beyond edge and hype. The fanbase became toxic, divided and cringe. The show is not long for this world.

Being a fan of a person is cringe. Doubly so if you dont know that person. That whole hazbin thing spun into celebrity worship. Their Broadway style show looked like a bronycon gathering.

although there is probably a sizable crossover, I unironically believe that Bronies are less cringe than Hazbin fans.

Bronies are generally positive and cheeful.

Hazbin fans are like max edgelords, lol-so-random-cheeze, im-14-and-this-is-deep, emo bullshit....

I can agree with that, at least MLP is wholesome for the most part.

Right.

And MLP is made and targeted for children. That some adults enjoy it too, that's fine. The show doesn't target them as an audience.

Hazbin however (and Helluva Boss)..... are supposed to be shows "for adults". And yet all of the writing, all of the humor, and most importantly all of the advertising and merch seems to be targeted directly AT tweens and teens. The shows creators are aware of and directly target their material to the younger audience. When they show up and ComicCons and stuff like that, their panels are "ALL AGES"..... for an adult show, why are your events filled with kids?

Isn't it fun how every new thing these days ends up being some predatory practice? Ffs.
