An article from a sex worker (both porn and selling sex in-person) about the sex work themes in Hazbin Hotel and the handling of Angel Dust as a character. If you've ever had criticism about the depiction of Angel Dust, or you've ever dismissed it, I think this is worth a read.
I get deep into the discourse here. Trigger warnings are included at the start of the article, relating to discussion of SA and "non-con" kink scenes within Hazbin Hotel itself.
Regardless of your thoughts on a fictional character from a cartoon, actual sex workers are frequently the victims of real assault and criminalization and censorship, and for too many people their only references for our needs and experiences are the characters they see in the media they consume. I hope that controversy around Angel Dust prompts at least some people to learn about the cause for the full decriminalization of sex work.
Remember that SWers can feel both empowered and exploited within their work. Oftentimes, we're depicted as being either one or the other, but that does not reflect reality for many of us.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
