However, many have stated that said screenshots feature a conversation regarding Frost not meeting project deadlines, seemingly invalidating the bullying claims. Former allies of Frost have stated that they lost support for her, believing that she's blowing the situation out of proportion and targeting Vivziepop whenever she has upcoming news about her projects. Frost also gained backlash for mentioning ex-employees irrelevant to the drama going on with her and Vivziepop.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/showtoonzfan/699186602008838144/vivziepoperin-frost-situation-update Erin Frost Situation part 1]</ref>It's been said that Erin Frost does not do well with criticism and will go to extreme lengths to target those who do so.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/showtoonzfan/699187753354657792/vivziepoperin-frost-situation-update-part-2 Erin Frost situation part 2]</ref> In May 2023, Frost returned to criticize the character of Sallie May, the sister of Millie and a widely popular character, primarily the transgender aspect of the character. It was revealed that Frost had designed Sallie May and Millie's brothers, with the intention of making one of the brothers transgender and was upset when higher-ups decided that Sallie May would be transgender instead, which [her response] didn't suit well with fans, being considered "transphobic". Frost was also heavily criticized for saying it was "disgusting" for Sallie May to be sexualized in Valentine's Day themed merch since it was seen as "trans fetishization", although every character in the Valentine's Day themed merch is sexualized. Morgana Ignis, Sallie May's VA and a transgender woman herself, voiced her opinion on Twitter and was opposing Frost's view on the character's portrayal.<ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/716804548979769344/reposting-this-for-everyone-in-the-back-thats</ref> YouTuber [[Ayy Lmao]] has covered the drama regarding Erin Frost's rants extensively on their YouTube channel. In May, they announced that Erin blocked them on Twitter despite their videos being overall neutral and informative. <ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/thecrystallinecryptid/687784734596661248/vivziepop-actually-managed-to-kill-an-artists Mentions on Tumblr]</ref> === Transphobia allegations=== Viviziepop was accused of being transphobic to Dollcreep (also known as Jo), whom she was friends with back in 2013, when she made a ''Zoophobia'' character named Jojo as a parody of him, which by today's standards would normally be seen as insensitive and offensive.<ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/post/726414642122981376/howdy-kedi-here-the-character-in-question-is Controversy regarding Vivienne and Dollcreep/Jo]</ref> She was then accused of being transphobic again in 2023, when she referred to trans men as being "ashamed" and "confused".<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/tocomplainfriend/736344848540581888?source=share Vivziepop allegedly being Transmisandrist.]</ref><ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sDWKNoqLLL3svx4NGOeJbg0eidZqNdw7YddezYIBc-g/mobilebasic An entire document of times where Vivziepop was Transmisandrist]</ref> To Vivziepop, these are some of her political views when it comes to topics like LGBT.<ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/tagged/transandrophobia More allegedly transmisandristic Vivziepop moments]</ref><ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/tagged/transphobia Tag for more proof of Vivzie's Transphobia]</ref> She also gained backfire for not crediting the voice actor of a transgender male imp from the ''Helluva Boss'' episode "Queen Bee".<ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/post/721244315875213312/another-thing-about-the-episode-i-wanted-to-talk Vivziepop allegedly not crediting the voice actor for trans male imp in "Queen Bee".]</ref> ===Alleged misrepresentation of sexual harassment=== With the characters of Stolas and Blitzø in ''Helluva Boss'', Stolas is commonly portrayed to be constantly flirting and talking dirty with Blitzø, the latter character expressing discomfort towards this. This has led to arguments over whether this counts as sexual harassment. Stolas would also have Blitzø make a deal to borrow his grimoire so Stolas could have Blitzø have sex with him, with Blitzø going with the deal reluctantly. The situation is portrayed in a light manner. This also would happen with Angel Dust and Husk, as Angel Dust would occasionally flirt with Husk in a very vulgar manner. ===Alleged improper representation of sexual assault=== In one of the episodes of ''Hazbin Hotel'', there had been some criticism about how sexual assault has been treated, as one of the characters, Husk, would tell Angel Dust that the latter character will "get over it". Even though Angel Dust has experiences with being sexually assaulted by Valentino, some people think that the phrase that Husk stated may be seen as insensitive to people who suffer from PTSD/trauma.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/onehelluvacritic/739995345879203840/its-kinda-funny-to-me-seeing-analysis-videos-of?source=share Criticism about one of Hazbin Hotel's episodes]</ref> There is a song that allegedly points Angel Dust as a "loser" for experiencing this trauma, which also gained controversy. <ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9sVoglgJjRg The "Loser, Baby" song has been deemed by some to be insulting to SA survivors]</ref><ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/suicidal-coffin-boy/740333182697832448/hazbin-hotel-criticism-my-blood-is-boiling-rn?source=share Criticism of lyrics]</ref> ===Alleged racism/Using harmful stereotypes=== With the ''Hazbin Hotel'' trading cards, some characters, including an angel character named Emily in particular, are canonically supposed to be non-white (In this case, Emily is supposed to be portrayed as a black character). Some people found it insensitive for her to make Emily have a gray skin tone instead.<ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/707627185979244544/viv-also-made-two-black-women-angels-light</ref><ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/707627185979244544/viv-also-made-two-black-women-angels-light</ref><ref>https://rootbeergoddess.tumblr.com/post/624846199502110720/so-valentino-was-recently-confirmed-to-be-black-by/ampVivzie</ref><ref>https://www.tumblr.com/navigadget/628527390053826560/just-to-show-you-how-inclusive-vivziepop-truly</ref><ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/707627185979244544/viv-also-made-two-black-women-angels-light/ampIssue</ref> In ''Hazbin Hotel'', some characters within the series were given criticism by critics, most known in particular being Vaggie, who is portrayed as a lesbian Latina woman. However, opinions were mostly negative towards Vivzie's representation of Latina characters in the show (In this case, being violent and hot-headed). ===Not taking criticism=== In November 2023, Megachan, a user on X (formally Twitter) uploaded a parody of the [[GLITCH]] animated series ''The Amazing Digital Circus''. Said parody was simply a rewrite of the first minute of the pilot, if it had been written in a similar style to Vivienne’s shows. The post quickly went viral, and soon enough, several more users begun doing parodies of other shows if Vivienne was the scriptwriter. Whilst the video itself was simply made as a parody and was not intended to Vivienne, Viv expressed heavy dislike of the numerous derivatives of the video and caused Megachan to delete it. Reuploads of it can be found on YouTube, and Megachan would reupload the video a few days after deleting it. It was found that Viveinne liked tweets of people who say that criticism is hateful.<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mitzPQqLecU&pp=ygUsV2hhdCBpZiB0aGUgYW1hemluZyBkaWdpdGFsIGNpcmN1cyB2aXZ6aWVwb3A%3D Reupload of video]</ref><ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/uniquepeanutcreatorfire/724385733494931456/here-are-some-threads-after-the-just-stop-debate?source=share Vivzie's response to criticism]</ref> She sees criticism as "bad faith". ===Alleged demonization of other cultures=== Within the ''Hazbin Hotel'' trading cards, many people were angry that Vivziepop represented Alastor using Voodoo (an African religious practice originating in Haiti). Some were not happy about the portrayal of Voodoo as being demonic and evil. <ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/tocomplainfriend/737632997897043968/hey-hear-this?source=share Mentions of Alastor controversy]</ref><ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b0_VzOqXA3o Alastor controversy]</ref> ===Allegedly supporting a user that romanticizes sexual abuse=== Vivziepop has received a lot of backlash following the initial release of '''Poison''' online, a song made for the Amazon Prime release of ''Hazbin Hotel''. In one of the posts related to the song, she makes a controversial and offensive joke. It was then revealed that Vivziepop also supported a Twitter user named ''R2ninjaturtle'', also known as "Tony Raphielle", who is an NSFW artist who has artworks of Valentino raping Angel (in the series, Valentino is the abuser, and Angel is a victim of Val), with Raphielle showing support for said ship. Raphielle also worked in/directed the scenes of Angel Dust's sexual abuse in masquerade in the episode of ''Hazbin Hotel'' in which said abuse originated, and is the episode in which '''Poison''' is used. The incident went viral to the point that even KiwiFarms was aware of it.<ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/post/739554798946467840/even-kiwi-farms-is-talking-about-it KiwiFarms also was aware that Vivziepop allegedly supports a non-con fetishist]</ref> Raphielle sexualized Valentino and Angel's relationship and Viveinne openly showed support for Raphielle. Raphielle allegedly went as far as to ask for images of screenshots of times where ''Hazbin Hotel'' and ''Helluva Boss'' characters were sexually harassed. Raphielle would cosplay as Angel Dust (the abused) and pose sexually with a Valentino (the abuser) cosplayer and admitted to changing his name to Tony to make it close to the name "Anthony" (the real name of Angel Dust). It was also said that Raphielle had sexually harassed a 15-year-old minor. Despite all these claims, Viveinne continued to show support for Raphielle, claiming he was a survivor of sexual abuse and blaming the minor for this interaction. Raphielle later admitted that he wasn't a victim of sexual abuse.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/tocomplainfriend/739456053539979264/hazbin-and-sa-hb?source=share Proof that Vivzie supports an artist who romanticizes abuse.]</ref><ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/thowawayuntilfurthernotice/739673516849381376/what-about-the-voices-of-sa-survivors-who-dont?source=share Vivziepop allegedly not listening to SA victim voices]</ref><ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BDGRceTKxE8 Video explaining Angel Dust drama]</ref>This caused Vivziepop to gain a lot of backlash due to this and Vivziepop was supposedly planning to leave Twitter and move on to a different platform because of this backlash. ===Allegedly supporting cafés with mistreated animals=== While mostly known by Instagram users, Vivziepop also had backlash for going to animal cafés in Japan, which have been heavily speculated to mistreat the animals that go there. ===Alleged toxic workplace allegations=== Although they have not been addressed, there have been some people who have said that they have dealt with some bad workplace conditions with Spindlehorse because of Vivziepop.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/HelluvaBoss/comments/vjcnqz/this_isnt_a_one_time_thing/ Allegations of toxic workplace conditions.]</ref> However, this caused Vivziepop to take legal action against former employees that speak bad about her by claiming that they were spreading "confidential information". <ref>[https://cinemaphile.com/vivziepop-is-literally-taking-legal-action-against-former-employees-that-speak-bad-about-her-by-claiming-it-is-confidential-information-314221/ Vivziepop allegedly silencing workplace victims]</ref> Her response to said allegations were seen as unfavorable. <ref>[https://twitter.com/VivziePop/status/1599911794319183872?lang=en Her response to people she sees as "bad faith".]</ref> Vivziepop would even go as far as to mock other projects<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YiUrjNjU04Q Vivziepop mocking projects]</ref> and got accused for underpaying her employees for the sake of favoritism.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SoftFurSunlight/status/1743431950952714417?s=20 Accuation that Vivziepop underpays her employees]</ref><ref>https://www.tumblr.com/showtoonzfan/687818969240010752/ex-spindle-employee-here-i-can-confirm-everything?source=share</ref><ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/717891718253576192</ref> ===Alleged art stealing=== During plans of designs for Cherri Bomb, a character in ''Hazbin Hotel'', she was said to have traced the design from another artist and never gave credit for the idea. It is also noted that said artist allegedly didn't want Vivziepop to copy the entire thing.<ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/717896569833291776/stopvivziepop-spread-the-word</ref> She was also accused of stealing art from a fan for the ''Helluva Boss'' Live Autograph account profile pic (in which Viveinne allegedly stole art from a fan by the name of "NinjaHaku21"). Vivienne would give an apology, supposedly trying to avoid the tracing allegations before saying for said artist to “get the fuck over [themselves]”. Vivziepop would admit that she traced things that were “homage and memes” and allegedly not crediting the artist, supposedly justifying this by saying that "every animator under the sun does it, so it’s okay". She also gained some backlash for supposedly not crediting the right artist for the song "Just Look My Way" (the artist of the song is Paranoid DJ, whom she ''did'' credit in the end of the music video).<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XrZ2vqVPTFM&pp=ygUSZGogcGFyYW5vaWQgc3RvbGFz Original song]</ref> <ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rATbtwj1qls&pp=ygUSZGogcGFyYW5vaWQgc3RvbGFz The song as shown in the series]</ref> ===Blaire White=== It was also mentioned that Vivziepop supported Blaire White, who is a controversial right-wing trans figure known for her views on transgender people and the current state of the LGBT community. Blaire White has been accused of racism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, and bigotry throughout her career. Viviziepop's support for this person has gained her heavy backlash.<ref>https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/post/717896569833291776/stopvivziepop-spread-the-word</ref> ===Allegedly toxic behavior=== She has been accused of being passive-aggressive and an "immature jerk", apparently blocking people whom she sees as against her and bullying people who used to work with her/were her friends. Aside from Blaire White, Vivziepop has also been shown to follow a few other controversial figures, such as Spazkidin3d (a Twitter NSFW artist who creates NSFW of characters from iconic franchises, like ''Pokémon'', ''Steven Universe'', ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', and Nintendo [including Mario]), who is widely regarded as an unlikeable person. <ref>[https://nbapprentice.tumblr.com/post/188710651875/triggering-content-vivziepop Proof that Vivziepop follows bad people]</ref><ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/tagged/vivziepop%20archive "Vivziepop being awful moments" Archive]</ref> <ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/tagged/vivziepop%20fandom Vivziepop's fans are not any better]</ref><ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/post/732291052458917888/hey-just-thought-id-let-you-know-i-once-left-a VA of Sallie May supporting Vivziepop's alleged transphobia]</ref><ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/post/735862938140901376/howdy-just-here-to-send-some-more-info-today Vivzie's younger sister trying to defend Vivziepop]</ref><ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/tagged/vivziepop More evidence that Vivziepop is not the best person to support]</ref><ref>[https://chaifootsteps.tumblr.com/tagged/vivziepop%20critical More moments of Vivziepop being a nasty person can be seen here]</ref><ref>[https://woomycritiques543.tumblr.com/ A blog with more evidence of what Vivziepop did]</ref><ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BO0qzx_KvXOnTk8cIhomN0QVHaG66aw4UsjnIXDEGkM/mobilebasic Another document calling out Vivzie's BS.]</ref><ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a6f3t9ApySw Video of evidence explaining some of the bad things Vivziepop has done]</ref><ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/masonic-critical More Examples (1)]</ref><ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/tired-hellowl More examples (2)]</ref><ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/angellic-critique More examples (3)]</ref> She has liked several tweets referring to people as sub-human, allegedly underpaying her animation crew for their work, and burning bridges with other artists/friends.
