Can I ask what you think of Viv's apology for her former support of sh0e and Blaire? I found this in the archives, and it's from 2018:
Two years ago I was in the worst place in my entire life, it was a very intense political time for our country as well and I was finding comfort in hearing perspectives from all sides because I wanted to really see all sides to create my own opinions, I don’t believe in living in a bubble and I feel to make a stronger argument for your own opinions you must attempt to understand the opposing side so you can properly try to combat it, and I also admired the fact that two women were owning their own beliefs and speaking their mind-even if I disagreed at the time that was just very admirable to me AS a woman. I had only ever seen certain bits of content from them and thought they were pretty so I doodled them. .... I have nothing but love, respect and support for the trans community, a good number of the Hazbin team is trans, the idea I’d ever invalidate them as people is abhorrent to me. I am the daughter of a Salvadoran immigrant and damn proud of it, most of my personal heroes are poc. I find things like BF in this day and age awful and I don’t condone it even for edgy jokes, that’s not something I personally find funny.
This is an add-on to the apology from 2019 when the images of her fan art started circulating:
I despise that people care more about a fictional character then an actual human being. If you are someone who feels it’s ok to accuse someone of being the worst thing a human being CAN BE without checking dates or acknowledging context, or ignoring that there are literally only a small selection of examples over the course of …what 12 years I’ve been online?? You are earning a block from me. Because I value myself more then to allow anyone who entertains that bullshit near me in this life.
whew
im gonna be immensely honest, right
the path i'm trying to follow with the projects i work on is going to put me in a position where i very well may be at a level of recognition - maybe not fame, but recognition - where things i say and do will be scrutinized to the utmost level. however, i believe - knowing my own integrity and self-worth - that my opinions on these people will not become hypocritical. i will not be outed for the same things these people are being outed for, or anything similar, because i feel so passionately against them that i would not stoop to such a length, such a damning low.
so, with that, i'd like to say that i do not care about her apology. i do not care about any form of remorse she may have. i wholeheartedly, with every inch of skin, muscle and bone marrow i'm made of, despise this woman. i do. i could not explain to you why. i'm sure that it's irrational, and i'm sure that i'm wrong, and i know good, good and well it's parasocial in the worst way, but with the passion of gods and devils dead i cannot feel anything but rage knowing that i share a planet with vivienne medrano.
we muddle through.
