Quill only draws the same 5 body types and it’s rlly funny to me…we’ve got:
• Girl with an extreme hourglass
• Fat girl
• Buff guy
• Buff girl
• Guy built like a girl
save for maybe like 3 outliers
And people say that Vivziepop's character designs are not unique 💀
Which, I do sort of agree that maybe Viv should've made the main characters have unique shapes and sizes not just the backgrounds...
I think Quill should try draw unique body types, like, this guide on printrest could help both them and Vivzie
Am I the only one who's starting to see a pattern of most of more masculine-presenting OCs of Idolo's being either hyperviolent aggressors or being on the ass-end of jokes, usually of the "lol, they're stupid/inept" sort?
There's Powers and Luvart plus their entire dynamic, the beetle husbands in Bugtopia regularly beat/degrade the crap out of eachother as kinky play, a farmer guy in the same comic is apparently too stupid to tell the sex and species of the animals he's herding, it's constantly made a point of how ignorant Sera is at sexuality and intimacy compared to her very fem wife, and all three jokes involving Adam are him being made uncomfortable.
There are more examples I believe, that's just from immediate memory. Sera especially never gets to have a cute "gotcha" or "win" moment with Lili, she's either dependent on her for affirmations or is the punchline of her sex jokes.
For an artist who complains about other artists not doing diversity "right", they pretty easily default to using the same stereotypes and tropes they berate others for utilizing.
literally all I did was search Idolos username and immediately this is the first result-
I love how viv-antis always default to calling anybody who defends her "dickriders". It's constantly unsolicited sexual degradation with these people.
I'm reminded of the art Dollcreep made of her over the sparkldog debacle, poking fun at the idea of Viv being intersex/amab when no, she's cis IRL.
Like, in my opinion it's fine to criticize the crazy/toxic fans who harass people for simply making a video that was a light jab at Vivzie and it was obviously made as a joke and NOT as a way to disrespect her work.
But straight up attacking or insulting the fans when they haven't insult you first is just scummy behavior.. also, I think I need to point this out and address the elephant in the room.
Idol.
That video is NOT a criticism video, it's a literal video made as a joke and it has no valid criticism in it what so ever..
Fine, I’ll repost it. Back by popular demand. 🫡
Like, did Mega explain how Vivziepop could fix Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel? No.
Did he point out the problem with the show? Nope.
All he did was made a video that parody's Helluva Boss, Idol if you seriously think that's how you critic a series, webcomic ect ect by insulting, being rude or making shitposts made to poke a jab at the series you don't like... then PLEASE PLEASE don't even criticize it or if you are gonna criticize it, use actual genniue critic's criticisms as reference.
I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone were to take Bugtopia and did a similar thing to what MegaChan did and call it "critcism" now would you?
There's honestly a lot of conflicting messaging within Idolo's main content. One minute there's mature comics full of illusions/mentions of sex and kinky play or stepsiblings sharing sex toys... the next it's a bunch of kids at school, in a treehouse or playing princess. This tonal whiplash is far more egregious in Bugtopia.
These varying elements can all coexist of course, nor should artists be restricted to "just this or that", my issue is Idolo puts these altogether in ways that come off inorganic/awkward. I like Panty and Stocking as well as Bluey, that doesn't mean I think it's appropriate to show both all at once to the whole family.
Ironically, I'd say Helluva managed to put such elements together with far more tact. There's cuter flashbacks of character's childhoods as example, and still a lot of surrounding context that reminds the viewer it's an adult show like Paimon calling Stolas a bitch for crying. That passive abuse/neglect would not fly in most soft and safe children's media, however adults who had to deal with that growing up can identify with it.
