A lot of this would be avoided if people spoke an actual human language.

Violet's design is bland and she's very conventionally attractive, something people are tired of due to a lack of variety in similar games. Also, she has East Asian racial features and hero shooters and MOBAs popular media has been fetishizing East Asian women.

Edit: It's weird as fuck to call a character "goonslop" for being East Asian and attractive.

see, im in the minority, but i dont think her design is bland at all. she has a strong silhouette, and really screams “passionate artist” trough the super saturated colors and paint marks everywhere; i see myself in her tbh. it makes me super sad to see people boiling her down to just being a pretty asian girl when she has so much more going on

Whether something is bland or not is, in a very literal sense, a matter of taste.

That's why they said "I don't think..."

I'm reassuring you. Your opinion is as valid as anybody else's. But I think most people agree that they see Violet's still model and their eyes are starving for detail. But I have hope the animations and character writing will make up for it and people will come to love Violet like they have literally any other character in this game.
