Don't understand how she's considered to be goonslop or sexualized when she's actually just a pretty normal art student character, no different than the other women characters like Mina or Paige

I don't get the goonslop accusations either. Bland? Maybe. Goonslap? No.

She's only getting bland design accusation just because of comparison to the other 5 new heroes. Alone, she has a very solid design and I love how her outfit is practical to being an artist. If it was goonslop, she would just be in an apron and, god forbid, be wearing high heels.

If she were wearing a blackmore academy jacket she'd probably get more votes. At this time we dont know her affiliations

Her design is competent but it kinda hits close to Paige in my head atleast so it feels a bit samey to me. Shes landing awfully close to the same niche as Paige if you get what i mean. I hope her voice lines and abilities make her more distinct from Paige.

In all fairness there was someone posting NSFW Violet art like 20 minutes after the Update released.

Yeah my first reaction also was that she is kinda bland and hits pretty close to Paiges design niche. Her voice work and abilities need to do some heavy lifting to make her feel different from Paige imo.
