hell-bent means determined. You need to be determined to do something.
You can't be determined ON something.

For example, you could say "I can't get over how hell-bent people are to shit on how other people spend their time".
As it is, the meaning of the sentence is understandable, but it doesn't actually make grammatical sense.

"Hellbent" can also indicate strong intent, in which case it is appropriate to follow it with "on."

But then the on needs something following it, like 'criticising'...

Obviously, the user you replied to is an illiterate dunce from reading too much fanfic.

I will never get over how HELLBENT some people are ON how other people spend their time.

There is an on after hellbent, and they are using it correctly as a word for intent/focus.

DA

[personal profile] morieris is not using the phrase correctly; in correct usage, the word(s) after "on" indicate the desired outcome according to the subject. Examples:

1. He was hellbent on winning. (i.e. He was determined to win. Winning was his desired outcome.)

2. The Senate was hellbent on tax cuts. (i.e. The Senate was determined to achieve tax cuts. Tax cuts were their desired outcome.)
