This shouldn’t be a hot take but I’ve seen it brought up a million times on reddit so I’m gonna process my thoughts about it over here.

Lots of people are excited to see just how bad the hotel residents are. I’m talking about the people in the hard either/or camps of “Hell has to be bad-bad because it would suck if just self-destructive behavior means permanent torture” and “x character has to have done worse things because the fandom infantilizes them.” To use the prime example: Angel Dust.

His mob background seems to inspire the assumption that he killed people in the living world, a notion probably fueled by the fact that he gets so much glee out of killing sinners on screen. I’m just gonna float real quick— do people really think every single mafioso killed people?

Cut because I’m gonna rant.

He was the don’s son for fuck’s same, and reportedly not the only or even the eldest one. I’m highly dubious to think he was doing more than robberies, cons, and maybe taking part in some beatdowns. He probably knew how to use a variety of weapons he was taught growing up, but why everyone assumes he killed anyone — let alone on purpose — seems like a misunderstanding of the scope of “jobs” within organized crime.

Anyway my actual point is that saying everyone in Hell must have done specifically deplorable things is missing the point of our cast’s stated, actively explored sins: gluttony and greed.

You don’t have to kill people to hurt others or ruin other people’s lives. We don’t know what Angel’s Family was in; it could’ve been drugs (and maybe he partook of their own supply), arms (likely, would at least lend MORE credence to assuming he’s killed living world people), gambling (laws around that were messy and exploitable in the first half of the 20th century and gambling dens were more common during & after Prohibition), racketeering (classic)…

I think some it is people being frustrated at characters getting woobified (i.e. Alastor, Angel), but expecting everyone’s crimes to suddenly be a hundred times worse than what has already been presented is sort-of missing the point of things. “If He’ll is forever, then Heaven must be a lie” absolutely applies here: maybe greed and gluttony are bad enough to warrant some punishment, but not permanent torture, and something in the afterlife system is broken to keep filling Hell with people whose sins don’t match that severity.

Personally, i think it’s a hundred times more compelling to see people with “lesser” sins than murder seek help and see the damage their actual sins HAVE done. I would rather see a The Good Place-style problem, where life getting so complicated meant suddenly most people were doing so-called unforgivable things because life really wasn’t leaving them with other choices like it might have thousands of years ago. I bet thousands of years ago sinners really WERE usually Very Very Very Bad, but as the turnover of billions of lives and industrialism and [frankly] the stranglehold of colonialism and capitalism moved along, people were more likely to be “quantifiably” Bad.

I don’t think Angel or Husk or even Sir Pentious had to be killers to land in Hell. I think being angry people woobie Angel is a fucking terrible reason to hope he was “worse” than drug addicted and self-destructive, just like saying Angel having been a mafioso is a really weak reason to assume he killed people.

Anyway I’m also hung up on the fact that there’s a Heaven Embassy at all if there was never supposed to be redemption. Seems like a bizarre and unnecessary thing for Heaven to do — put a massive front lobby and a SIGN-IN sheet in a building that suspiciously reminds of a train station or waiting area — if all they were ever planning to do was Exterminations. Convinced somebody lied to the High Seraphim about the severity of any “uprising” even though we obviously have two contradictory understandings of how the Exterminations started/were permitted anyway and that’s 100% on purpose for plot reasons.

Also alarmed by one take I saw by Vivziepop haters. Someone was like “lol no one knowing what gets you into heaven makes no sense it’s bad writing” and weirdly the response being “its just vivziepop’s excuse to woobify hell” and that’s a mess of what the actual fuck on so many levels. Mostly the “I really think media literacy has tanked if y’all not liking or understanding the way forward with a very reasonable and FULLY EXPLORABLE plot point like that means bad writing” and a little bit the “literally how are those points related and buddy what fucking ‘woobified’ hell are you seeing???”
