#i dont even a diehard hazbin fan i just thought it was ok but its so fucking annoying to see people say this shit

I genuinely don't mean to be That Person and I do think everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion and nothing should be exempt from criticism but I think everyone criticizing hazbin hotel over the designs is honestly a little mean? Yes, all the characters are stick thin, that's bad and there should be more variety. Yes, the designs are cluttered, not good for an animated show by regular animation standards.

But criticizing the style as something to grow out of in your teenage years? Saying how ridiculous the facial expressions are, or the palette?? Who cares about the general style tbh??

You probably have friends or peers who have similar styles and similar design preferences who are going to see you say all of that and think less of what they do because of it. Vivzie isnt going to see your mean post calling it an edgy art style but your peers are. And honestly ESPECIALLY any younger artists and teenagers that draw like that are going to take the hit.

I'm not eloquent enough to make a better more nuanced post I do think there's a point to be made about how people on this site defend all art styles and want to be supportive of artists and "cringe culture is dead" but the second something is unpopular enough they start riffing vitriolically on how it looks instead of the things actually worth criticizing (of which there are many).

#thunderclap #making this unrebloggable because if this escapes containment its gonna attract so many undesirables #i have reblogged one or two of the jokes that i felt were silly enough but this week i have seen a LOT of posts #that just rag on the art style #and honestly!! who the hell caressssssssss. every single fucking animated show in recent years looks the exact same #they all use the same style the same colors same vibes. hazbin; despite its faults; is actually visually fresh and new #YES even if its visually a fucking mess!!!! it matters a lot that its different looking in a landscape of samey animation! #i dont even a diehard hazbin fan i just thought it was ok but its so fucking annoying to see people say this shit
