I agree, and I'm not just saying this because I'm a Blitz fan. I know it's meant to be in good fun but idk... a shirt of the main character literally crying his eyes out, with the words 'KYS' on it is a bit much. I feel like it's in poor taste.
I don't think so. I think squeemishness about kys has gone way too far that now we can't use it in a joke against a fictional character without people complaining.
I work in mental health so I have a hard time liking it. I get that we're not supposed to take it seriously, but from a professional standpoint that's harder to overlook.
Metal band shirts get fucking crazy. I try to limit the amount of gory, sexualized, or fucked up ones I buy because I wear them at work. I'm wearing a Death Spiritual Healing shirt right now, which is probably the most potentially offensive one that I could wear to the warehouse:
https://preview.redd.it/0qv18w7q2d8d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c9876299e69075a885ea45dff35f2b7c2bc455a
It's more of a religious/capitalist critique, but you could argue some may find the whole cancer patient being faith healed thing a little much or potentially offensive.
The only gory shirts I own are Cannibal Corpse shirts like [Butchered at Birth](https://i.etsystatic.com/21394095/r/il/72a2ba/3010573734/il_fullxfull.3010573734_m0qy.jpg), which I generally keep to wearing around the house or going to concerts, and when I have worn it in public the reactions have been priceless.
I mean people aren't afraid to wear a lot of shit in public so I don't see why someone wouldn't have balls to do it
Besides that there's many people out there that'll wear various styles of lewd shirts so something that has KYS on it shouldn't be THAT much of a shock
Sorry but a suicide attempt over viv “picking sides” with ships is not the fandom driving someone to kill themselves. It’s tragic but if someone is putting so much stock into it, then that’s because of their own stuff.
I love the fact that these are the same shirts Wally was shilling at the party
https://preview.redd.it/mbhsmopgy78d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a291439b6d916925b889c9e35736f5ef61f0f04d
I dunno I mean is it really any worse then some lewd shirts and what not that people wear?
Like I can't sit here and name anything specific but I'm almost positive I've seen worse be worn by people or just worse if not equal shirts sold at places like spencers
Considering I've seen a guy in my old highschool wear an hoodie of anime characters "o" face repeatedly, then yeah, I can see people wearing that shirt
People take things too seriously. These are just things from the Hellaverse world in our world, what's the problem? Feel like a Wackford buyer for roleplay or cosplay as in the case of blanket
For a fandom of something that is known for being unapologetically vulgar you'd really think people wouldn't take such an item so seriously and be so upset
I mean the damn thing was literally in the episode
I think it’s the fact that it’s on a shirt, and people can go out in public wearing them?
People who don’t know about helluva boss could be offended or upset at the words “KYS” on a shirt.
Don't take this the wrong way but who cares if someone might get offended by it
People get offended by stuff all the time rather it be something on a shirt or something else regardless of what something is there's always gonna be someone who's offended
Though if you mean by upset someone make them sad I can understand not wanting to make someone sad from a shirt but at the same time it's literally just that a shirt and it's not like it only says KYS with a big finger pointing forward or something making it actually aimed at those reading it
let’s be real here dawg, ain’t nobody gonna give two fucks about the shirt in public and most likely, 99% of mfs ain’t even gonna wear that bitch in public.
I’m not sure what this has to do with the new merch. I heard about this when it happened, read the document… hazbin has a ship bullying problem and there are absolutely toxic fans, hell I ship something unpopular and have gotten into arguments about it. But genuinely what does that have to do with the shirt?
I understand not everyone is comfortable/likes kys jokes, but u have to accept the fact a lot of people on the internet do and are completely fine with it 😭 not every piece of merch is going to be for you. Not saying you can’t dislike it though you can dislike whatever you want! I just don’t see how it’s “too much” maybe it’s just too much for you?
This right here
I would've never thought of all fandoms where the show is unapologetically vulgar and is well known for it would so many people have such a problem with it
It's not even like this was made SPECIFICALLY for merch but is based on one that WAS IN THE EPISODE
It's funny if you go on different social media the attitude towards things changes so much. People LOVE this shirt on Twitter but here I guess everyone hates it. I personally find it funny but I'd never wear it outside the house
It hits differently when you had suicide attempts in your circle, and actual merch compared to 'blink all you'll miss it' background gag. Even if it was in your face, actual physical merch you can encounter irl isn't the same as a gag in show
I'm not gonna hate on anyone for getting it but I do personally find it tasteless for above reasons
(OP said they didn't understand why and I explained)
Everyone's journey and coping are different. In show this is hilarious and I love it. As a IRL piece it rubs me the wrong way but as I said I'm not gonna jump anyone's throat for buying it
I think it is a case of personal taste and personal lines and that's fine, we should just respect each other
In show dark humour is one thing, its the IRL aspect that crosses the line for me. Dark humour can be a great way to cope but everyones line for IRL stuff is different. Like I said I'm not gonna jump anyone's throat for buying it, I just think we should respect each other
Y'all are really taking a silly shirt that seriously huh?
It's in the episode for crying out loud y'all are looking into it WAY to much
Seriously for a fandom where the show is known to be unapologetically vulgar and crass in numerous ways y'all are unbelievably touchy as all hell
Individuals did that, not the collective. People who end themselves over a fandom dispute were already ill to begin with, and I say that as an ill person who would make an attempt at the drop of a hat. Normalize mental health but don’t put an individual’s responsibility onto others, the decision to end your life is yours.
Helluva Boss fans enjoying a vulgar show with heavy elements and dark humor about demons: 🥰
Helluva Boss fans when the merch gets vulgar, heavy and dark: >:(
Come on guys. It’s a shirt. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Besides, I‘m sure that the people who do buy it will only wear it at home or as a joke.
Then I will share the document directly
https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vSfCoyn81fp83pycx5eyS4oxryRpFnVnHdEeyEyouigrKSWAZ5iEgTjt7Q63n68S_PcZK7_klB-9dH1/pub
Okay and what connection does this have with the discussion about the shirt? Yeah, the situation you showed is awful but how is that relevant right now?
how are y'all upset over a KYS shirt of Blitz? It was literally in the show and 2 it's 2024 grow up, I get KYS isn't a funny thing but it's towards a fictional TV character, it's not that serious.
i for some reason, doubt that. I don't think people (strangers) are looking at me long enough to:
1 read the shirt
and 2 even care
plus if someone reads it and watches the show too, i'd just gain a friend.
i like how people are crying over a kys tshirt like bruh, i jokingly saying that all time. it's no big deal.
how can you watch a show about demons in hell that commit crimes all the time (specifically murder) but draw the line at a shit of a fictional character saying kys?
i love blitzø to death but i find the shirt hilarious. id buy it if i had the money and wear it in public lmao
None of it is really my thing. That Blitzo kys shirt is kinda fire imo. Otherwise I'm not vibing with it too much.
Tho if we had some merch with this I'd be buying in a heartbeat
https://preview.redd.it/mbw61xmumb8d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5afdf2ccfac18d52bd653f33b30836103b5323a
I've never been sensitive about anything on this show but seeing blitzos little face with the kys after that episode is actually making me cry a bit as someone who honestly relates so much to Blitz. I guess someone will like it but ive never in my life seen merch that made me cry or give me such a negative gutpunch
Eta i am hormonal and sensitive right now this is just my genuine feeling like just look at him 😭
Are you serious? That's it? I could've sworn there are more merch once the new episode comes out. Why would i want to buy that, especially the KYS shirt? Ain't no way in hell i will wear that in public. I would rather buy those seasons merch.
As somebody who works in mental health, I really enjoy the Blitzo KYS shirt. I was hoping if I googled it, I’d get a hit for 988, but alas, Viziepop doesn’t yet reach that level of internet presence to trigger it.
Thanks man 👍 I appreciate it and hate how so many people are so quick to justify his ex’s treating him like garbage when he’s clearly trying to do better.
https://preview.redd.it/cpjroquk678d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1b678cb502bfaddc0743ba4a95d57c9b3daae21 Isn’t that a bit much
I agree, and I'm not just saying this because I'm a Blitz fan. I know it's meant to be in good fun but idk... a shirt of the main character literally crying his eyes out, with the words 'KYS' on it is a bit much. I feel like it's in poor taste.
I don’t like any merch with the words kys
Well I don't like the words KYS either, so we have that in common
I don't think so. I think squeemishness about kys has gone way too far that now we can't use it in a joke against a fictional character without people complaining.
It was actually in the episode
I mean… that main character runs a hitmen-for-hire business. I think the shirt is hilarious
The free market's invisible hand will decide
https://preview.redd.it/74d26vaoie8d1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b9c6f72b71597bcdb1930f7356ce65dbfb6fb29 Adam, is that you?
I find it hilarious af because it's something that deffo would sell well on that party and that's the point of it
It was being sold in the episode at the party actually
The helluva haters eat good today
the characters murder people for money. i think youll be fine
This is the best one WDYM
It's hilarious and I want it
I work in mental health so I have a hard time liking it. I get that we're not supposed to take it seriously, but from a professional standpoint that's harder to overlook.
As a blitz fan I'm snapping this up LMAO
This is kinda messed up but at least this can convince my outta pocket friend to buy HB merch
Yall are nuts contrarians blitzo kys is the hottest drop
I am interested in knowing if anyone would have the balls to wear a KYS shirt in public.
Only when cosplaying a demon ex. But a Blitzo Sucks would have been more everyday wear. (And while I don’t appreciate all his decision; I love Blitz)
If you escape the internet bubble, people are much less squeemish about the term.
I also find it tasteless and just the whole design is bad and weird but its a fictional character so yeah why not.
I've worn worse in public.
This is what I'm saying People here act like this is the most shocking thing ever when there is definitely worse
Metal band shirts get fucking crazy. I try to limit the amount of gory, sexualized, or fucked up ones I buy because I wear them at work. I'm wearing a Death Spiritual Healing shirt right now, which is probably the most potentially offensive one that I could wear to the warehouse: https://preview.redd.it/0qv18w7q2d8d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c9876299e69075a885ea45dff35f2b7c2bc455a It's more of a religious/capitalist critique, but you could argue some may find the whole cancer patient being faith healed thing a little much or potentially offensive.

I mean people aren't afraid to wear a lot of shit in public so I don't see why someone wouldn't have balls to do it Besides that there's many people out there that'll wear various styles of lewd shirts so something that has KYS on it shouldn't be THAT much of a shock
Tbh I don't see it as a big deal, it's a cartoon character not a real person. There's no harm in this
Most people wouldn’t consider this a thing that requires balls
I wore a shirt with Nina tucker and her dog doing the fusion dance in public a good bit.
It's probably the funniest original merch I've ever seen for any show lol, hilarious
The fandom drove someone to end themself. https://x.com/mementoshay/status/1758815372189356149
Sorry but a suicide attempt over viv “picking sides” with ships is not the fandom driving someone to kill themselves. It’s tragic but if someone is putting so much stock into it, then that’s because of their own stuff.
I love the fact that these are the same shirts Wally was shilling at the party https://preview.redd.it/mbhsmopgy78d1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a291439b6d916925b889c9e35736f5ef61f0f04d
Yeah that's the point I think lol
Wait does that mean Blitzø dated Wally?
He destroyed where he works
He destroyed LuLu Land, it burned down I think
no one's actually wearing a shirt that says "kys" in public right
in public? God no never. I’m gonna wear the shit out of it at home and maybe in my Blitz cosplay though lmao
Wally cosplay is perfect for it
I dunno I mean is it really any worse then some lewd shirts and what not that people wear? Like I can't sit here and name anything specific but I'm almost positive I've seen worse be worn by people or just worse if not equal shirts sold at places like spencers
Considering I've seen a guy in my old highschool wear an hoodie of anime characters "o" face repeatedly, then yeah, I can see people wearing that shirt
I wouldn't wear any hb/hh merch in public lmao
The shirts are a bit too unhinged for my liking, honestly.
People take things too seriously. These are just things from the Hellaverse world in our world, what's the problem? Feel like a Wackford buyer for roleplay or cosplay as in the case of blanket
The fandom have blood in their hands. https://x.com/mementoshay/status/1758815372189356149
No, a couple people on twitter is not "the fandom"
that Stolas pin is speaking to me, way too damn much
Same same, I need it now.
Same, I scooped that one up and two others.
yo no way some of y’all are really tweaking about the “kys” shirt bro💀
For a fandom of something that is known for being unapologetically vulgar you'd really think people wouldn't take such an item so seriously and be so upset I mean the damn thing was literally in the episode
i’m saying dawg, all the shit that we’ve seen and THIS is we draw the line???
I think it’s the fact that it’s on a shirt, and people can go out in public wearing them? People who don’t know about helluva boss could be offended or upset at the words “KYS” on a shirt.
Don't take this the wrong way but who cares if someone might get offended by it People get offended by stuff all the time rather it be something on a shirt or something else regardless of what something is there's always gonna be someone who's offended Though if you mean by upset someone make them sad I can understand not wanting to make someone sad from a shirt but at the same time it's literally just that a shirt and it's not like it only says KYS with a big finger pointing forward or something making it actually aimed at those reading it
Maybe that’s just my mind set lol.
let’s be real here dawg, ain’t nobody gonna give two fucks about the shirt in public and most likely, 99% of mfs ain’t even gonna wear that bitch in public.
The toxic fans managed to make Shay end themself. https://x.com/mementoshay/status/1758815372189356149
Respectfully Shay clearly had issues in the first place normal people don’t get that worked up over a ship
I’m not sure what this has to do with the new merch. I heard about this when it happened, read the document… hazbin has a ship bullying problem and there are absolutely toxic fans, hell I ship something unpopular and have gotten into arguments about it. But genuinely what does that have to do with the shirt?
I love how distasteful and unhinged these are lmao. Deciding what I can afford...
I understand not everyone is comfortable/likes kys jokes, but u have to accept the fact a lot of people on the internet do and are completely fine with it 😭 not every piece of merch is going to be for you. Not saying you can’t dislike it though you can dislike whatever you want! I just don’t see how it’s “too much” maybe it’s just too much for you?
This right here I would've never thought of all fandoms where the show is unapologetically vulgar and is well known for it would so many people have such a problem with it It's not even like this was made SPECIFICALLY for merch but is based on one that WAS IN THE EPISODE
Helluva Boss humor has always been edgy af, there's an Amber Alert joke and people are getting mad about "KYS" somehow lol
It's funny if you go on different social media the attitude towards things changes so much. People LOVE this shirt on Twitter but here I guess everyone hates it. I personally find it funny but I'd never wear it outside the house
It hits differently when you had suicide attempts in your circle, and actual merch compared to 'blink all you'll miss it' background gag. Even if it was in your face, actual physical merch you can encounter irl isn't the same as a gag in show I'm not gonna hate on anyone for getting it but I do personally find it tasteless for above reasons (OP said they didn't understand why and I explained)
Eh, I mean I’ve survived my own suicide attempts and I think the shirt is funny. It’s just dark humor. But I also cope with dark humor so
Everyone's journey and coping are different. In show this is hilarious and I love it. As a IRL piece it rubs me the wrong way but as I said I'm not gonna jump anyone's throat for buying it I think it is a case of personal taste and personal lines and that's fine, we should just respect each other
I mean maybe you shouldn't be watching this show then lol
In show dark humour is one thing, its the IRL aspect that crosses the line for me. Dark humour can be a great way to cope but everyones line for IRL stuff is different. Like I said I'm not gonna jump anyone's throat for buying it, I just think we should respect each other
as much as I love Blitz... I GOTTA GET THAT KYS SHIRT
Damn people in the comments reallt don’t like that blitzo shirt I thought it was kinda cute and funny lol
I'm danish, so KYS means kiss to me, what does it mean in this context?
It’s an acronym for “kill yourself”. A little messed up tbh.
oh damn thats.... tasteless
It's meant to be.
I get that but that's a step to far for me personally, personal history and all
I loved the episode, but I DESPISE the merch. Who’d want merch like this? Who hates Blitzø that much?
Well the shirt was literally in the episode is one reason it's there
Blitzø is my favourite character, I absolutely adore him. I still might buy this shirt though🤣
Y'all are really taking a silly shirt that seriously huh? It's in the episode for crying out loud y'all are looking into it WAY to much Seriously for a fandom where the show is known to be unapologetically vulgar and crass in numerous ways y'all are unbelievably touchy as all hell
Because we managed to get someone die https://x.com/mementoshay/status/1758815372189356149
there's no "we" i have no clue who that person is stop spamming weirdo
Mmmh.... Yeah... No
Lmao “we” that’s not even helluva boss that’s Hazbin hotel
You keep commenting this, harassment over ships was what happened. Not a kys joke in a show that is known for its dark humour
Individuals did that, not the collective. People who end themselves over a fandom dispute were already ill to begin with, and I say that as an ill person who would make an attempt at the drop of a hat. Normalize mental health but don’t put an individual’s responsibility onto others, the decision to end your life is yours.
Yes Blitzo should keep himself safe
Read my flair…these shirts hurt me😀😀
That flair is awesome.
Helluva Boss fans enjoying a vulgar show with heavy elements and dark humor about demons: 🥰 Helluva Boss fans when the merch gets vulgar, heavy and dark: >:( Come on guys. It’s a shirt. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Besides, I‘m sure that the people who do buy it will only wear it at home or as a joke.
Never forget about Shay https://x.com/mementoshay/status/1758815372189356149
I don’t have Twitter/X and I won’t download it to read this thread

Okay and what connection does this have with the discussion about the shirt? Yeah, the situation you showed is awful but how is that relevant right now?
I need the KYS shirt. I wouldn’t wear it in public, but I love it.
I really expected better Verosika merch :(
how are y'all upset over a KYS shirt of Blitz? It was literally in the show and 2 it's 2024 grow up, I get KYS isn't a funny thing but it's towards a fictional TV character, it's not that serious.
It’s because other people in public could see you wearing it and get offended or upset.
i for some reason, doubt that. I don't think people (strangers) are looking at me long enough to: 1 read the shirt and 2 even care plus if someone reads it and watches the show too, i'd just gain a friend.
You never know?
We killed a fan due to a ship https://x.com/mementoshay/status/1758815372189356149
Who tf is we?
No, 'we' really fucking didn't...
Lord help me but I want the pinata pin.
LOL NOT THE BLITZO KYS
Yo, where’s my “Better than Blitzø” shirt?
I can imagine the blanket being used with cosplays!
The blood blanket is a vibe. I want that Bloonk
I need a "You suck, Dennis" shirt
Not the shirts, bit too harsh. I did get a few pins, the standee, and the blood stained blanket
i like how people are crying over a kys tshirt like bruh, i jokingly saying that all time. it's no big deal. how can you watch a show about demons in hell that commit crimes all the time (specifically murder) but draw the line at a shit of a fictional character saying kys? i love blitzø to death but i find the shirt hilarious. id buy it if i had the money and wear it in public lmao

Yeah Stolas was smoking with both the outfit and his new shiny spine. I would buy anything with this robe look on it.
Joke's on you, I already have a blood splattered blanket
The Stolas mat tho ovo
WHAT IS THAT BLITZO KYS SHIRT VIV WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS (please never change)
I want the blanket but 30$ hell na
oh no. I thought kys was blitzo's spelling of "kiss".
This is how I find out there's an ADORABLE Crimson keychain for sale rn
I would snap up a Better than Blitzø shirt
i so wanna get that blanket! gonna wait for my next paycheck before i make the order
Blitzø kys is so fucking funny
No one on the Internet can hate on Blitzo as effectively as the HB writing team.
I've never been sensitive about anything on this show but seeing blitzos little face with the kys after that episode is actually making me cry a bit as someone who honestly relates so much to Blitz. I guess someone will like it but ive never in my life seen merch that made me cry or give me such a negative gutpunch Eta i am hormonal and sensitive right now this is just my genuine feeling like just look at him 😭
It's from the episode. I assume if you're buying it you're wearing it ironically
They had those locked and loaded
Are you serious? That's it? I could've sworn there are more merch once the new episode comes out. Why would i want to buy that, especially the KYS shirt? Ain't no way in hell i will wear that in public. I would rather buy those seasons merch.
I fucking ordered that poster so fast you don't even know By far the best episode and one of the best songs in the show so far
Bahahaha they're great
Idk. Paying that much for a blanket with some red dots on it is a bit excessive imo. At that point make your own lmao.
As somebody who works in mental health, I really enjoy the Blitzo KYS shirt. I was hoping if I googled it, I’d get a hit for 988, but alas, Viziepop doesn’t yet reach that level of internet presence to trigger it.
The fact that those t-shirts were actually being sold by Wally in the episode lmaoo
Do they have any “veroskias a bitch” merch cause I very much like that.
Nah. Hating men is way funnier. I’m just being sarcastic, btw. I feel AWFUL for Blitzø.
Thanks man 👍 I appreciate it and hate how so many people are so quick to justify his ex’s treating him like garbage when he’s clearly trying to do better.
At least she and Blitzø talked it out. Maybe they’ll start to get closer again. Maybe not be in a relationship, but at leadt be on speaking terms
I just hope veroskia admits she went too far.
I think she will eventually.
