No hard evidence or official statements show that Vivienne Medrano (VivziePop) is transphobic.
Critics on social media have occasionally accused her of past insensitivity or holding bias toward transmasculine people, pointing to old internet drama or character designs.
These claims mostly rely on unverified rumors, old callout posts, or controversial interpretations of her edgy web content rather than concrete statements or actions from Medrano.
Medrano, who identifies as queer (asexual), includes prominent LGBTQ+ and transgender characters in her shows Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.
She specifically cast transgender voice actors for trans characters (such as Sallie May in Helluva Boss) and maintains close professional and personal relationships within the indie animation community with openly trans creators.
Opinions are mixed, with some criticizing certain elements of her writing or handling of character stereotypes, while others point out that the transphobic label is an unfounded internet myth or exaggeration.
