** We seem to have a somewhat answer after the events of "Oops" The Seven Deadly Sins would wreck anyone who tries, barring possibly another Sin, so they can get away with much more, being that there is nobody really above them to actually "punish" them, also their power comes from the Sin they embody, so public opinion doesn't really matter to them, whereas Stolas, while powerful, was given most of his power, and if it follows the lore correctly has at least 72 other demons who would like to take advantage to gain Stolas holdings, rather than 6 demons with their own domains that can't be taken away easily.

* How exactly did Blitzo expect to get away with taking grimoire? If he had managed to sneak in and steal it, it's reasonable to believe that he wouldn't be found. However, not only is he caught, but gives Stolas' his real name and spends an entire night in Stolas' room before absconding out the window. Who did he think Stolas was going to suspect when he discovered the grimoire missing?

** Humans in this universe have an extraordinary ability to miss the point and make shallow moral judgments while ignoring anything that might complicate the matter (e.g., Martha is a hero because she survived a murder attempt - even though she was fucking someone else's husband at the time). "Influencer commits incest with his sister" is a fast headline that drums up lots of outrage; thinking about the fact that the siblings are also children would require a level of nuance and reflection (like understanding that this kind of behaviour in kids typically means they've been badly mistreated by one or more adults), so the humans just don't bother.

** Stella doesn't love Stolas and doesn't give a crap if he loves her either. She's not heartbroken because Blitzo alienated her from Stolas's affections; she's royally (no pun intended) pissed off because he is, as she put it in "Looloo Land", a goddamn embarrassment. Being unable to keep her husband from cheating already causes her to lose face, especially since it's implied that in the eyes of the demon aristocracy, Stolas is kind of a weenie who should be grateful to have a smoking hot wife in the first place. The fact that he's off chasing after an imp instead of a social equal just makes it all the more humiliating for her. Also, she hates that she's lost most of her power over him. It's got a vibe like the boss who's always threatening to fire you but is enraged when you quit.

**** She still wants him dead. It's just that since "The Harvest Moon Festival", Stolas has done things to piss her off even more [[labelnote:such as]]go out in public with Blitzo on an obvious date, where he was seen and publicly humiliated by Asmodeus himself, and kick Stella out of the palace while telling the movers to feel free to break her stuff [[/labelnote]]. So now she wants him to die slowly and painfully.

*** Speaking of which, hasn't anyone else noticed that sexual talk in front of your underage child is classified as a form of sexual abuse in itself? In this case it's out of dumbness, not malice, but it's still not cool.

** Assuming the question here is, "Why is he doing that?" A lot of Stolas's behaviour can be summed up in three words: bird's got issues. One of them is that, probably from growing up very isolated and being pushed into an ArrangedMarriage at a young age, he missed out on some of the socialization around how to behave when you're in an adult relationship. In some ways he acts a lot like a teenager with their first sexual partner: he thinks he's being a lot more subtle than he is, he talks about it in situations that aren't appropriate, etc. The thing is that it's a lot creepier when it's a guy in his thirties with a teenage child of his own around than when it's a hormone-crazed high schooler.



** He was on a power trip after standing up to his abusive ex-wife and he forgot about his plans with Octavia. This is why she was convinced that he hated Stella more than he loved her until Loona assured her it wasn't the case.

** Well, there's that one client at Ozzie's who bought four, Fizz's whacko stalker who seems to have bought at least one, and somebody in the crowd at the show
who's using one right there. So, at least three?

** That "rundown theme park" is in the Greed ring, while most sex bots are sold in Lust ring. We don't know the exchange rates for money between the rings (or if even there is one), but it can be assumed that Greed ring is more affluent than Lust ring.
** Considering even demons seem to be terrified of clowns, how many people ''want'' a sexbot clown?

Lust.
** Also, profit margins. You build a few crappy animatronics that get replaced less than once a decade, and once you've made enough in ticket sales to pay for them, your costs are practically zero (you only gotta look at the Loo Loo Band to know management's not spending much on maintenance). Meanwhile, in manufacturing, you have to pay at least the cost for materials and labour for every unit you sell.
