Again, more pathologizing. You can't simply refute my point that the show promotes degeneracy, so you have to infer that I secretly like the show on some deeper level and can't bring myself to admit it. Its almost like how people would argue that Fred Phelps and WBC were secretly into the practices they preached against simply because they opposed them on, well, you know, an actual authentic reading of their own doctrine.
Well anyways, that's neither here nor there. Let's address your major points:
The conflation of heresy/false idols with the demonic is not a problem with Christians, it is rather only a problem for a culture/world which deems Christianity as inconvenient, like this one does. Just as homoeroticism is explicitly forbidden in The Bible, so too is the worship of other idols. Now if you're argument was "don't apply Christian theology to works which are explicitly Anti-Christian or of a different faith system", I'd more or less not see any issue. But you seem to argue that Christians themselves are delusional for condemning works which explicitly advocate for the love of flesh (My Panda my Choice) with Satanism. However, that could just be a misread of your comment on my part.
"You like Helluva Boss because its edgy" That's pretty astute of you. I would've never guessed that as someone who's in its purported age demographic would be more aware of its existence or even go so far as to watch every episode.
As for "of course its promoting Satanism its about demons", well that doesn't refute my point either. Its almost like we've had other cartoon shows which feature morally repugnant protagonists that don't try to excuse their behavior despite focusing on them. Clearly that Jhonen Vasquez guy is a genocidal warlord, he made INVADER ZIM!!!!
As for Helluva Boss, the criticism is fairly self-evident: the murder-demons are not just the focus, they are more or less placed as the "moral center", in your own words. There is nothing redeemable about adultery or being a weak pushover with an overbearing wife. Contrast that with the antagonists, who are shown to be that much more virtuous in every regard. The Cherubs, Martha's family, Stella and Striker all exhibit virtuous qualities which allude our protagonists. It might not be an issue if the takeaway of the audience was just "they're all terrible people", however that doesn't seem to be the case.
