I don't get why Viv stans think that someone redesigning a one character is a personal attack
It's just a redesign drawing, it won't kill ya😭
Redesigning characters from the Hellaverse is a cardinal SIN in this fandom. Fans think all redesigns are done in bad faith or with spite. Some (like myself) do redesigns to fit their art style, for variety, or adding their personal headcanons to the design. Even if someone did a redesign to say, "Fuck you Viv", who cares? As long as they are not tagging Viv in their post "saying, "I'm better character designer than you!" and acting like an asshole.
Usually, I censor usernames, but Vilya's art is very cool and neat, everyone should check them out. She hit the nail on the head when it comes to the fandom being anti-redesigns. I never seen a fandom act like this before. Redesigns are huge very popular thing in the MLP and Sonic fandom and I never heard of fandom discourse over redesigns (minus the racists who get bitchy when an artist gave a character dark skin as a human but that is a whole different topic).
I ate up every single Charlie, Adam, and Lucifer redesign I see, and I love watching redesigns videos. Like look at Vilya's. I cannot wait for the final result because I already love him, I'm his biggest fan. This Alastor redesign by Martycesar came across my feed and holy shit it is fantastic. Doing redesigns allows artists to be creative and sometimes thing out the box.
The stans is why I'm scared of posting my redesigns on sites like twitter (left the site anyways lmaooo) and the HH/HB server that is run by a HH/HB critic (FriedRat). I'm worried to death that my redesigns will be absolutely tored a part by these psychos like holy shit, I even seen people threatening to harm someone for simply just redesigning Angel dust or Alastor. The worst I have gotten was someone blocking me but before they did, they said "Don't fix something that doesn't NEED to be fixed" because I posted an Alastor redesign/edit, this one. All I did was basically gave him deer ears, better antlers, a deer tail (because I want to give justice to those who wanted him to have one), deer snout and I made him more black coded since the original design was lacking it despite Viv saying that he is mixed :|
I understand if someone is being spiteful and trying to be all like "My design is WAYYYYYYYyYyyyYYYYYYY cooler than Vivziepop xD", then yeah, I understand why the stans would be piss off by that (ofc, that doesn't justify harassing the person and shit). But if it's someone who is just literally doing it for fun or show how they would've design the characters, I don't see a problem???
Fans are beyond overprotective of Alastor and Angel's design.
Fans need to get to understand that redesigns do not equally 'fixing'. You cannot fix something that always been made, fans are acting like someone is reanimating the entire show with their redesigns.
