>>57772844I honestly struggle to explain this because its so base level that putting it into words feels trite. And I mean that, not as like a hyperbolic insult. They could be perfect designs with flawless animation and all of the complaints would still stand.
For one its like, why you? Why do YOU get to push in your OCs? If this had been like a community project where people got to pitch ideas and submit models, and maybe vote on a couple to put in? That might actually be fun and worthwhile. But instead its like, "hey I decided we're doing fakemons, and what mons get in, and coincidentally they're all my ideas and my designs, and you have to like that or else you're a schizo angry shitposter. Now kiss the ring." Do you think it matters to people how they look, when they're just a reminder of that? Remember how last gen emome would go around and put text plates on people's builds, and it's like, ok do we get that tool? No. Do we get to remove them from our builds? No. Do I have any way to opt in or out of this? No. And that annoyed a lot of people, obviously. Same thing here.
For another thing, its just frustrating that clearly a lot of time and effort into something nobody asked for, while theres things people are screaming for that get no acknowledgement. And again, it doesnt matter how the fakemons look, in fact in this case the better they look the more frustrating it is. These fakemon are in because YOU want them to be in, and fuck everyone else. That sentiment isn't appreciated, obviously.
And also its like, some people are just opposed to fakemon in general, and now they have to live with it or not play? And that sucks. You can say like ol get over it, and fine whatever if you're alright with that then that's that, but you can't expect people to not be annoyed by that and dislike it. Acting shocked by the response is just like, really? You really don't get it? Come on.
