I think mostly the toxicity comes from how Viv handles her own criticism and it's just a bunch of people going Monkey See Monkey do, because if their IDOLLLLL doesn't like certian things then we don't either!
Its a form of trying to please a figure that isn't aware of their existence. I mean many people in the past purchased shit from their idols that they see wore it. (My Mom knows pretty much a bunch of really famous dudes, she's friends with King Bach on insta. Thats a nice flex imo.)
But the thing is, with Viv's behavior this will lead into dire consequences. I always said that the best thing for a fandom creator to do is not be terminally engaged with their fandom, but be transparent with them to a healthy extent. Lay down the rules.
The main reason what Viv is doing is training her auidence to eventually turn on her. Because by her complying with everything the mob is doing that shows everyone she is a living, breathing, doormat waiting to be walked on.
Also, the talks of her making mistakes are stupid. And if you all watched my second and final video on the matter (and are concerned about my meltdown.) I'm just saying she did more than make mistakes. She did not atone for the mistakes she did and in order for me to clarify she made a mistake she had to address it, I don't understand why people can be content in what Viv does when she barely addresses anything (Has any Critic seen the long ass post where she actually addressed everything on her tumblr? Some friend of mine sent it awhile back, he was wildly defensive of the show.)
But like, imho if Viv wants to regain any self respect, I feel like she should stop denying and dodging responsibility because the internet never forgets.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
But jokes aside and being serious, yeah, that's the thing I've been noticing, Viv is actively encouraging behaviors that can and will backfire against her eventually, it's just a matter of when.
I mean, fanaticism has a bad history behind for a reason, it's the same thing that got John Lennon killed a lot of years ago and it's the proof that keeping an unhealthy amount of fanaticism over something is harmful, both for the individual and the creator, and Viv is doing nothing but adding gasoline to the already huge dumpster fire that's her standom, unaware of the consequences, or being clearly aware of them, but believing she's above them when in reality, she's just playing with fire irresponsibly.
No amount of canonization of fan theories, design stealing and credit theft will change the fact that Viv is dangerously close to make her fandom turn against her, it happened once when Full Moon got delayed, and it can happen again in no time.

I don't know what's funnier: the fact that demons apparently only have a very vague understanding of what goats are despite how heavily associated they are with satanic rituals and Imps even sharing traits with them (horns and hooves), or the fact that, in spite of that, the slang term still managed to make its way to Hell.

They say, when you're looking for assistance
It's smart to pick the path of least resistance.
Others say, that in your needy hour
There's no substitute for pure ANGELIC POWER!
