just letting you guys know the transphobia was allowed before in both the reddit and discords btw and then they got in trouble with riot dismissing mods opinions altogether. meanwhile jaycemains is fagging out
you know vikmains is run by reactionaries too bc they KNOW the problem was the homophobia but they still phrase it as 'no misandry. no hate towards any group of people' like motherfucker why are you changing the subject you KNOW what the issue was
The way the (unsure) smile faded from my face during the first few hours of the end of arcane when everyone on Reddit was reacting :( I was conflicted because the Viktor design looked great but I knew he had his fans that would be disappointed
And then 70% of them were being transphobic assholes
I still feel bad for the genuine Viktor fans that lost their machine fella but also I hope everyone on that Reddit Seethes when they see fanart of them making out lol
seeing this as someone who's only interacted with the tv show side of the fandom is killing me, like i actually laughed out loud seeing that they had to ban bigotry from the viktor subreddit bc im firmly on the side of the fandom where everyone just wants viktor to fuck jayce with a hexstrap LMFAO
No literally every single post on Twitter too about Viktor underneath influencers / reviewers like Dumbs and Nickey who were neutral / positive / even talked about the surrounding issues in Viktor main spaces, it’s all blatant transphobia & homophobia.
And also surprisingly but not really ableism. Got someone in league game going “Viktor looks anorexic now. What happened?” And I’m like. Bro was terminally ill. He just wore armor and enhancements before to hide it. I also can’t stand these people trying to hijack fan posts about the
“Glorious re-vertolution” and making this whole movement just sound so vile & transphobic. Once again, that one really annoying Viktor main who’s made himself the speaker for Viktor mains on Twitter, under EVERY post, spamming it, and
vikmains put so many fascistparticles in the air everyone else stopped taking them seriously or even wanting to please them like. you guys are so fucking stupid in ways that havent even been studied yet
It makes it understandable that riot did NOT want to touch that r/space with a 10 foot pole. Thankfully they listened in some areas with darkening colors, highlighting accents, and returning DS Viktor’s mask; I’d be ok with a traditional skin too! But oh my god. Every single Viktor
RIGHT like this is fucking crazy. Saying you’re “very left leaning” and then accusing people of “pushing an agenda” because you think a character is “a fem twink now” is INSANE. And this is just ONE of the posts from people who “definitely aren’t homophobic” on that sub.
