Symprites Vent

Normal rules apply. I am mod Z.

No allegation without proof.

If off anon it will not be posted. Unless you request otherwise.

Name dropping is fine if it is not an allegation.

Design whinging is okay if it is mods and guest artist.

I will not always respond.

Might be because it's an IP. Ik a lot of people can be picky when it comes to IP designs depending on how much they think it fits the character. Or the whales aren't into that fandom. Otherwise I don't see why 242 hasn't been bought.

(I know this sounds like as if I'm that symp owner but I'm not lol. I'm just a nosy peasant without €385 to spare.)

This is frying me 😭

May I ask why her takes are bad tho? I'm not into tadc at all so all info on it I have from the people in symp server

Funny how Fenokey has all these people on her team, but only one does her dirty work, right?

The announcement Chai had made regarding the banner made it sound like symps wanted to keep the old one

We don't know what went on behind the scenes. There is a possibility that there was an agreement for the banners to look similar/have the same atmosphere given the fact that a lot of users did the prompt solely because they enjoyed the aesthetic of the banner. A lot of symprite users didn't migrate to aras, so I think it could have been on purpose for the pieces to look so similar in consideration to the users who didn't want to join aras (so the users didn't feel like they'd "lose" an achievement).

I feel like we shouldn't jump to conclusions when it comes to things we don't know. If Oko or the artist of the original banner says something, then that's a different story.

Fenokey is petty and immature, and I doubt she is the one in contact with Oko and the mod team there. A *few* people in symp mods are very reasonable, so it is probably them discussing things like the banner-change and so on with ara team.

I also do think we deserve a better explanation from both communities. Not down to the knitty gritty, but this situation is very much unique and affects everyone, so it frustrates me that we're often left in the dark and forced to watch petty drama when we just want to move on.

Sorry the monkeys got my internet connection when I was sending that ask </3

“…Anyway, here are my findings. Some colors are exact while others are extremely similar in hue. I would also like to point out the fact that the atmosphere of both are pretty comparable: branches in the foreground, footsteps left in the snow, snowy woodland landscape (not too terrible but Symprites COULD have picked a different Winter setting outside of a forest.), and dark colored trees/midground with a lighter pastel background.”
