Where do you see this toxic backlash? Most of the people just politely critizited why they are unhappy with the changes because they care about this site. The word "hate" is not toxic, people genuinely dislike some of the changes and they weren't able to think of other words.

Personally, I think a lot of the comments have been quite toxic in the way that they were phrased. Even if words weren't intended as an attack initially, many of them can be read in that way - and that has an effect on the people it's being aimed at. Intentional or not, it can still be harmful. Incidentally, there could easily be backlash that the general public are not aware of (PMs, etc).

Please don't try to justify the backlash. I understand change is hard and all that stuff, but there is no excuse for the level of vile toxicity that was flung at the art team. Criticism is fine. We can work with that. The artists have already made and will continue to make adjustments in line with constructive feedback. And I will try to be better at communicating changes. But toxic hatred can be taken elsewhere. It is not welcome here.

Well said, Niet. I hope the art team knows that not everyone hates the new sprites. As I said, I, personally, think they look amazing. Y'all deserve aaaall the support~!
