@husky_dl@BONEYBOMBER Exactly all these new characters seem to have buzzword backstories with no substance other than a gimmick. I saw this as a hardline ratking LOVER
@husky_dl@BONEYBOMBER it makes me kinda frustrated a lot of people are just dying on a hill defending valve for not fleshing her out, people who will pull headcannons from dialog and think that its a story. Valve shouldnt be able to get away with giving us characters with no story.
@husky_dl@BONEYBOMBER Exactly. Solomon has a similar issue but hes so naturally charismatic in his writtibg and how fleshed out his personality is with other characters namely seven and baba that you kinda forget he has like no backstory
@Wafffeling i mostly hate how everyone is trying to deflect actual criticism with Phobic/ism slinging, like a lot of people dont hate her, we are mad she didnt get the lore she deserves. shes half baked and deserves better lore
@MukuroFucker i feel like that is a huge issue with solomon as he kinda just does that with no explanation, but hes not considered shallow or half baked cuz he has a lot of natural charisma and his dialog gives him so much life like his dialog with Seven
@KasaiKaiser like Make her a graffiti artist whos struggling to feel like her art is valid compared to more "Professional" art, her family forcing her to go to blackmore academy to learn "Real Art," joining the ritual to just get her families approval or be happy in her own art, idk man
@KasaiKaiser i feel like shes a bit half baked, i dont hate her im more mad she didnt get the proper lore she should have gotten, i think people defending this are not seeing valve could have kept the idea of her being more down to earth while still giving her so much more lore to work with
@husky_dl@BONEYBOMBER again it feels very safe which is the main issue, i think everyone was expecting her to be a bait and switch that she was gonna have some insane backstory about monsters and spirits, so having her be very normal feels like a tease. hopefully valve drops some bombshell lore
@ontgotic People are trying to defend her by showing how shallow her current writing is, if all your defense is headcannon based on singular text dialogs than she needs a better/more fleshed out story
@husky_dl@BONEYBOMBER Violet deserved better, shes ripe for a very engaging story about being in an unfamiliar place and trying to mix ones thoughts of home with their new home, the pressure of being an artist and the conformity thats expected in a lot of schooling. She shoild have had more
@ToughCrate I just wish she had more occult in her backstory or design. Like Solomon fucking flies, like i was thinking before she released that her lore would be some monkeys paw lr deal with a devil thing to explain her magic paints
@ivydeadlock Her lore leaves a lot to be desired
She has no conflict with others really outside small oerty stuff like her convi with ratking. Danny is so fun because everyone hates his bones. Violet is very meh imo because everyone generally is ok with her. Im hoping thatll change
@Sandosaur I hate how all discourse about her is just stamped with "racist and sexust" remark. You only proving our point when you can only defend a character with ad hominem instead of with their lore
