We already have similar character reboots that were renamed to avoid a repeat of bad blood with fans. When Ninjara was rebooted, she was renamed (whose name literally just means "fox" in Greek), and Ninjara still wasn't even as divisive as Venus was (I don't even dislike Ninjara, but a lot of fans did). When the Super NES game TMNT Tournament Fighters was being developed, Aska was originally meant to be Mitsu, but they renamed her character after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III was so poorly-received. And I can't speak for anyone else about this particular case, but while I could never really stand any version of the Punk Frogs, I have no similar reservations against Toad Baron and his frog minions&mdash;I really like them, and I've told Sophie herself (who created them) how much more I like them than the Punk Frogs.

That's kind of the point of why I said she needs a reboot. Also you do know fanbases do this kind of stuff all the time, right? Thats why its called Rule34 and some fans even genderbended them. Also you can't just abandon it becuase it's reputation stays.
