Go To

1* CrossesTheLineTwice:
2** Her Strange Fruit Salad in the Charles Lynch Inn from her review of ''Sunset Heights''.
3** Her crossover with [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], which she wrote, not only is your average "Hagan-reviews-a-Christian-Movie" hijinx, but also has Spoony not only being misogynistic towards her but also using slurs with gay abandon.
4** The fact that a review of a film called ''Gayniggers From Out of Space'' even got posted on the site is probably down to this. Even Diamanda was amazed they let her do it.
5* DesignatedHero:
6** Points out the protagonists in ''Series/BoneKickers'' are responsible for numerous murders and break many laws while getting away scot free.
7** She also sarcastically says "our hero" during ''Emmanuelle 4'' when Emmanuelle breaks into a man's house and begins to masturbate over his sleeping body.
8--->'''Diamanda''': At least when [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] did it it was funny.
9** Repeatedly calls out both the DesignatedHero and DesignatedVillain in ''Harlem rides the range''
10%%* GeniusBonus: "Obscure Austrian far right politics; I went there."
11* HarsherInHindsight:
12** Her comparison of Spoony to the lead of ''Schizophreniac The Whore Mangler'' takes on slightly different connotations when you consider the events that cost Spoony his job at Website/ChannelAwesome.
13** Her blog post calling out Reviewtopia for exploiting a drunk girl at Magfest 2013 becomes a lot worse in 2018 when it came to light that [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]], who was fired for sexually assaulting someone at this event, was the one who escorted her back to her room.
14* HoYay:
15** [[CrosscastRole Aleister D. Homelessb'sterrd]] and Basil P. Remmington.
16** Teddy, Diamanda's minion in charge of music, seems to have a thing for [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]].
17* HilariousInHindsight:
18** She says in a review that she watches ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and supports Stannis. [[spoiler: Considering he had his daughter burned alive as a sacrifice, this ends up making it hilarious considering Hagan's sociopathic nature.]]
19** In her ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' review she says the circus strongman is a bit of a dick who'd totally be gay if the film was made today. Fast forward to Dell from ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''...
20** Alistair's boyfriend's name being Basil is hilarious considering the Doctor jokingly saying his name is Basil in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E8TheZygonInversion The Zygon Inversion]]".
21** Her montage of men saying 'yes I'm stupid' includes (at the time a gag) a pre-coming-out WebVideo/JesuOtaku
22* JerkassWoobie: [[CatchPhrase "I'm Diamanda Hagan]] ... and [[SelfInflictedHell I have to live with that every day."]]
23* TearJerker:
24** Her departure from Website/ChannelAwesome on March 25, 2018.
25** The description for her re-uploaded versions of any videos featuring [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]]:
26-->''Because of what came to light in April 2018 I've removed comments, the only reasons the video is still here at all is because that'd be like denying I made it. If you watch I hope you enjoy it so the sum total of human happiness can be increased a bit. I, however, never want to see it ever again. Any ads you get aren't benefiting me, I don't want that money''.
27*** Even worse - in the description for ''Zombeak'' she names Justin as her favourite collaborator to work with. ''[[BrokenPedestal Ouch]]''.
28* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: When reviewing ''Siege'', she complains about how the movie started off with the cinematic gold of would-be fascists holding a gay bar at gunpoint, only for the customers to revolt... only to turn into a stock "home invasion" thriller, with the lone survivor of the gay bar unconscious for a good chunk of the remaining movie.
29* TheWoobie:
30** You know how Diamanda is a loud outspoken megalomaniac who routinely abuses her faceless minions in gruesome ways? Well Nina is nothing like that. And it just makes you want to hug her...
31** Linkara feels this way about Ada in ''Zsazsa Zaturrnah''. Her father tries to drown her for being transgender, her niece constantly misgenders her, and her boyfriend breaks up with her because his family doesn't approve of her being gay/transgender/a different religion (and right after she gave him a lot of money to help support his schooling, too).
32* ViewerGenderConfusion: A lot of people who first see her, and a lot of commenters on TGWTG - the majority of whom are horribly insulting about it - can't immediately tell if Diamanda is a man or a ButchLesbian. For the record, she's the latter. This was lampshaded in her review of ''Film/ProjectMillion'', which she starred in.
