Love the toxic ears motif on this one. And the expression. I've got no problem with both colors proposed in V2 and V3.

Much prefer this design over the first ASPD bunny, the sort of "creepy" look of V1 feels like it pushes some potentially harmful stereotypes, I like this one being more similar to other bunnies more. I do agree with other comments that "unkindness" isn't exactly the best term, something like "low empathy"/"struggles with empathy" might be better.

I feel like the expression and constrained heart are perfect, although rather than "unkindness" I would say "difficulty with empathy". I think an important element of ASPD is how stigmatized it is. I have had multiple therapists simply drop me after learning that I have ASPD, which I have not heard of for any other neurodivergence. Either something like stigmata on the hands to represent how stigmatized (get it?) it is, or a mask of some sort to represent hiding / masking it. A slightly darker green, like deep forest green would be nice but I see nothing wrong with the current color scheme.

I think it will be matching disconection with antisocial personality. Maybe give him a thing that will be imagination or feeling like he is in himself. Also it could be great to make gray one, because green looks…dirty.

I think it would make sense to highlight the masking aspect of ASPD. While it is a very different condition than Autism, one similarity is that many people with ASPD often have to put on their own sort of mask to interact with other people and blend in with everyone else, to avoid getting in trouble, even when they don't feel like everyone else on the inside.
I think regarding the heart, unkindness is probably not the best way to put it. Some people with ASPD I've read from and talked to describe more of an emptiness or hollowness, which makes it difficult for them to form deep connections or relationships with other people, because they struggle to feel it inside.
I like Kenny's idea of the stitches though to represent recklessness, and Juno's idea for colors.

The muted expression is great however there should be something to better depict the traumatic background and criminogenic history of people with ASPD and the condition as a whole given those are key factors of sociopathy. Currently the bunny better captures cleckly’s psychopathy which also falls under ASPD but the majority of people with ASPD aren’t psychopaths so emotions are present behind the muted expression albeit blunted. This anxiety tends to present itself through callouses, aggression, glibness, and impulsiveness when untreated. I’m not creative enough for artistic suggestions. Depicting those features somehow would better capture the disorder though.

Favorite thing about this design so far is the expression,, it really speaks to us personally. However the usage of “unkindness” is slightly disheartening…
I"d say a colour that represents negative emotions more would fit more than green,, maybe red or purple? Maybe even stitching on random places to symbolize our reckless tendencies…Don"t know tho. Really excited to see where this goes tho! We still have faith in this :-)

I don’t like the colors nor the symbolism. People with aspd aren’t all harsh monsters.. it’s color scheme reminds me of a sewer or something lol

couldn't agree more with the previous two comments. i don't have aspd myself, but my partner has aspd and it kind of disheartens me that this is the way this disorder is portrayed. i think the guarded heart is a great start, but rather have it relate to the bunny guarding itself from others out of fear rather than "unkindness." like its a great start for improvement over the previous iteration, but i feel like still more can be done to consider the internal world of those with aspd too rather than portray it as a mean nasty disorder where the sufferer has no redeeming qualities.

I and a lot of people find this a really harsh representation of people with ASPD. please reconsider using words like "toxic" and "manipulation" to describe people with personality disorders, a lot of us are incredibly dissapointed and disgusted by this.
people with personality disorders are not inherintly "abusers" or "devoid of emotion", this is a really harmful stereotype, the causes of our actions and personality are due to trauma. it would be better to do a repressentation of an external view and an internal view of someone with aspd, they are NOT inherently evil.
