a little upset with the chiyo change tbh. i didn't realize or know chiyo was going to undergo a COMPLETE remodel/rework but seeing erissa is just ... man. i understand where people were coming from with their criticisms on chiyo's design but it feels even more backhanded that they just straight up made her (afaik) white.

erissa doesn't have much ... personality? to her design? it's an alright design by her lonesome, but it doesn't signify chaos to any degree. this is just a tiktok influencer to me. and she doesn't seem like an actual child anymore. chiyo was fun in the regards that she's clearly meant to be a rambunctious tweenager and could be seen as such, but now this is just. Ambiguous Older Teen/Young Adult to me.

i don't agree with their solution to chiyo criticism being "oh let's just not make her japanese!" because her being japanese wasn't . the problem? so.

i showed my friends the new design and we all came to the collective agreement she doesn't look like a dark rider or chaotic at all this is a quirky tiktok fashion influencer

#bailey’s babbles.#sso #chiyo sso #erissa sso #ssoblr #star stable online #i STILL can't find if they ever released that damn blogpost talking about erissa in depth #and villains / bad guys can be people of color too. the solution isn't to just make them white #treat them with better tact but that's like if people criticized jay or sabine sso would go hey starfam! we hear you. we're going to be #reworking them to fit your standards. and then they just became white girls again #chiyo looked like how i did growing up and i thought that was awesome but they could've just remade her outfit or something #idk. i'm not vibing with erissa as of yet. chiyo solos to me #people are free to disagree or talk to me on this btw i'd love to hear other opinions on this
