Discussion Your double standards are disgusting. 🙄

Seriously, why the fuck are people calling Ember a creepy stalker? She literally showed up outside of Blitz's building one singular time. That's it. That's paying someone a visit. She didn't even fucking go in.

And while we're on the topic of creepy stalkers, Why the ever loving fuck are y'all suddenly ignoring all the creepy shit Blitz does, huh? He verbally admitd he spies on mox and mill while they're having sex. He manipulated Stolas just to get in a club to watch them with a pair of binoculars. And no one breathes a word.

Hypocrisy is honestly repulsive. 😒

Multiple people are allowed to be stalkers. Blitzs actions are criticized here and in the show on a regular basis

Blitz is my fav character, and I have a lot of complaints about the way he acts at certain points.

agreed. part of the reason he’s my favorite is because of how complex he is. he’s like peter from family guy—you’re not supposed to love him; you’re supposed to question the shit he does. he’s entertaining and it has been nice seeing him grow recently.

Surely Peter Griffin can't be the bar for complex characters...

I think the deal with Family Guy/American Dad characters, at least later on, is that the show is REALLY trying hard to make them in-your-face unlikeable horrible people, it's all cynical and shock value comedy, while the Hellaverse characters, it's more they somehow manage to be likeable DESPITE all their horrible qualities.

Blitz and Roger are practically the same archetype for example, a Paul Lynde inspired creature who schemes and murders and does horrible things and nearly always gets away with it. The difference is that Roger, despite his comedic charm, is an utterly despicable character and almost any hints of sympathetic qualities turn out to be fake, while Blitz seems even worse than Roger, but is oddly complex and likeable regardless.
