I really relate to mumbo sometimes - his video “I hate everything I create” really hits home and I think it’s true for a lot of artists. There are so many incredible artists on this platform and sometimes it’s really hard not to nitpick everything I do and compare it to everything else, and to want to force myself to make better stuff before I can show it, even though visual arts is by no means anything more than a hobby for me. It’s kind of ironic cause when I hear other artists talk like that I think they’re being ridiculous - just like mumbo, cause how could anything mumbo makes be bad right? He’s an incredible creator and cinematographer and it seems insane to think that HE wouldn’t think so, but then again I overthink everything I make, even if it’s only for me. Idk. I keep trying to create just for myself, and to make myself happy and not worry about perfection - but I guess it’s a step in every creative process to get over that fear and comparison.

"Alastor may very likely be a wendigo."
Wow. Cool! I had a strong feeling he was. That makes him a thousand times scarier.
"That means Vivzie clearly is racist bc it's cultural appropriation."
Uuuuuuuugh!!
Girl, the wendigo HAS been a pop culture figure for years, if not decades. It is a fact it's not limited to Algonquian or First Nations anymore since ages. Vivzie is very, very, very, very, very very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very FAR from being the first to put a wendigo in a fictional work and far from being the last. Because it is a fucking POP CULTURE figure.
So how the fuck is it suddenly "appropriation"? And how the fuck can you call s/o racist with that one thing (Alastor being a wendigo)?
Also, that may not be the socialist or leftist usual line, (you may call me a fascist or a racist too if that makes you feel so good to be paranoid and see racism everywhere) but I think that "cultural appropriation" concept is pure bullshit:
Cultures, even very different cultures always have crossed paths, blended in and mixed with each other, learned and picked legends from each other. The way it happens isn't always right or just or even logical, it's just natural and human. It's how humans function! In North America and everywhere else in the world!
Or do you mean every people should stay away from their neighbor and never have any interaction with a people different from them? Or any interest in learning new things? If I had followed that mindset, I would be ignorant as fuck AND actually and fully racist. Because racism comes when you don't know shit about people different from you, does it not?
Rather, see that so-called "cultural appropriation" as a opportunity for non-Native American people to learn more about Native American cultures. Or is cultural diversity "cultural appropriation" too??
And bitch, if Vivziepop really was racist against Native Americans, do really think she would have used one of their most popular legends to create her most popular and charismatic villain? Also, if she had no idea what a wendigo is, I may have agreed with you, but she clearly knows what a wendigo is, she educated herself on the subject!
Unlike you, who NEVER educated yourself about her!
And I can't believe I've just explained all that while it's all fucking OBVIOUS and commonly known! How old are you? Five? (tho I bet there are five-years-olds who're more educated and thoughtful than you)
If you're a minor, you shouldn't even watch Hazbin Hotel in the first place.
