To be honest.. a lot of fans are just tired of Stolas. It’s not because he’s queer, it’s not because he’s a gay man. A lot of ‘antis’ are actually queer themselves.

It’s because he’s a rich man that has the habits of a teenager.

Well you are right on that.

I was mostly arguing that queer characters shouldn’t be not allowed to do certain things… especially when in real life, queer people do those things. It’s not always ‘edgy’, it’s that it happens and art shows what happens in reality

Honestly I don’t think the Valentino Angel haters are the same as the ones sticking around with Stolas. They wouldn’t have tolerated Blitzo’s relationship- they used to criticize it as abusive in power dynamics.

Groups are not a hive mind

Nope.

Lots of it is actually feminism because vivzie can’t write female characters to save her life.

But the show doesn’t improve him. That’s the issue.

Trust me if he actually improves, that would be BETTER. But he’s not. He’s gotten so much focus.. and he’s not.

Heck his own daughter got sick of it and ditched him.

Yeah and some of us have suicidal ideation and we can’t ever talk about it, so fiction helps us deal with it.
April 25, 2025 at 3:05 AM
Good point
April 25, 2025 at 3:00 AM
You’ve probably seen people say real life people should commit suicide. Worry about that instead.

Fictional character doing an act vs saying said act is universally cowardly

Someone said that suicide is an easy way out.

Stop sucking dick

Story first my ass 😂😂😂

I don’t think people are literally telling Viv to kill Stolas off. They’re just tired of his character getting so much screen time but not getting much growth.

It’s an indie show, not a hundred episode production. If you present an arc and don’t finish it, people will get impatient.

The show IS a cautionary tale— about your issues ruining your life. Especially on Blitzo’s end.

Their social roles are what fucks them over. Blitzo is hardly negatively affected by his queerness. Stolas is the one living a heteronormative life, but he’d be just a screwed if he dated a female imp

‘Taking the easy way out’

Wow. Just wow.

Suicide is not the easy way out. That is beyond disrespectful and ignorant.
April 25, 2025 at 2:42 AM
The show is already problematic by showing the gay man be a sex addict that neglected his daughter
April 25, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Stolas failing doesn’t mean the other characters won’t. Moxxie has gotten better, Blitzo and Stolas haven’t. If Stolas or Blitzo fails, that doesn’t mean the other can’t.

Stolas killing himself could be about self improvement— it’s the consequences of NOT improving. Done. Basic storytelling.

Helluva Boss IS edgy tho

They’re being realistic. Nihilistic at worst.

I really don’t know why your first conclusion is that. No one is trying to be cute— who the hell thinks suicide is ‘cute’? Why is that your association?
