Knives hurt you and bandages help heal you. Let's make knife and bandage biomes!
See the logic there?

As much as I like bananas, the Confection already uses bananas with the Banana Splitter, Iscreamer, Bananawarp Peels, and Bananawarp Rod.
Ouch..Banana biome? ...
Think about the themes of all the other biome pairs: Light and Dark, Order and Chaos, and Life and Death. I love those ideas personally and think they fit the game very well, whereas a food biome is just a bit... ridiculous, in my opinion. I can say that I would make my own source mod to remove it if they added a world type of "Banana vs. Sweets"

I still love the idea, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't feel like something that would fit in vanilla Terraria to me. I'd love it as something more akin to a larger surface mushroom biome, and I'd absolutely use it as a mod. Also, I only said I'd get rid of it if the evil were bananas
.Your logic is that a biome as an opposite is fine if it is contradictory to some part of the "good" biome in any, frankly ridiculous way. I proposed a biome and an alt using the same logic.

Corruption should stay with Hallow, they fit more together

The decision to make a Cookies & Cream biome involved more than just me liking cookies and icecream (doesn't just about everyone?), but I looked at the Hallow and saw it as a dreamy world full of pixies, unicorns, and trees that reminded me of the ones from the many stories of Dr. Seuss. At first glance it may seem like a "good," safe biome, but soon enough the player finds out that everything there wants to murderize them.
The Hallow is a deceptive biome, just as its painting calls it "The Land of Deceiving Looks" if I remember correctly. Taking this concept, I thought what else could follow the dreaminess of the Hallow? Candy Land was an obvious choice, as it also can be a land of deception (and if you ask me, makes more sense than the Hallow.) The Hallow attacks you.. just because, but the Confection enemies attacking you is somewhat symbolic of how sweets may look appealing but can be harmful for your health (HP).
The Candy Land idea has been suggested before, so I felt instead I should try a Cookies & Cream biome, as it is also a land of sweets but a little more original, as well as having more theme as Candy land is open to EVERYTHING sweet and being more generic, I think. Limiting myself to just Cookies & Cream still let me have a few things to work with: icecream, cream, cookies, icecream toppings, cherries, and bananas. I did use a few more candy-themed ideas like Sweety Gummies, Gummy Worms, and Rock Candy, but I have plans to see about turning these closer to the Cookies & Cream idea.
I feel the Confection follows the Hallow's concept a little more closely than the Cyber for the above reasons. I have nothing against @Zoomo 's Cyber, just it's not really a deceiving world is all. I could see it easily working as another Corruption alternate, especially seeing how it's a biome lacking in color, as opposed to the Hallow's colorful rainbows. I can just imagine some kind of vents acting as chasms that lead down to protected hard drives that are shadow orbs or something. The Cyber could be thought as a computer virus that wants to consume all. That's just how I see it though, working better as a Corruption alt than a Hallow alt.
That's how I came up with the Confection. It was much more than what I'd find as an interesting biome, but something that resembles the Hallow without being the Hallow. I see both the Corruption and Crimson being nightmarish places, with the Hallow and Confection being more dreamy (though also nightmarish). I hope those who find this biome ridiculous can understand my thought process and possibly change their minds to support, but if not, I understand.

I do like the idea of a pollution biome! Though I feel, when pitted against the Confection, the Crimson makes more sense than a pollution biome. I mean, Trash vs Icecream? Argh, I really like the theme, I just don't feel it quite fits.. though what 'light' biome would? Wait.. call me crazy but I just thought about the Cyber, as it's a land of order and clean things and everything being uniform.. which sounds like the exact opposite of a pollution biome, with disorder, dirty things, and everything a complete mess. Dirty vs Clean rather than Chaos vs Order (where I don't really see the Crimson being Chaos). Maybe I'm thinking a little too deep into this..

Agh, you get the picture. Whatever Nausicaä's Sea of Decay is.
Maybe Pollution vs. Confection could be junk vs. junk food, I dunno.

Dentist Biome vs. Ice Cream Biome :Kappa:
I kid. But don't get rid of the gummis, as those could very well be considered toppings, even the gummi worms. Only the rock candy is a bit off-theme, since you don't see that as a topping, but it does make for some very cool visual theming for items and such, so I'd say just keep it anyway. Or theme it after ice; maybe they occur where the Confection hybridizes with the snow/ice biome? And they're sort of like the little chunks of ice you occasionally get inside ice cream?
I'm not sure. But I really like their associated wings and I'd be sad to see the idea get canned. :c

This to me is love at first sight. I really have a sweet tooth, I like pies, cookies, cakes and pretty much any other sweet thing on the planet. This is no exception, though I can't actually eat it because it's digital and inside of a computer screen. This suggestion is sweet (ha ha ha) and yummy. Makes my mouth water.
That's pretty much it and to quote JonTron, I say Tenouttaten. 5 stars 4 stars A+! What I'm trying to say is support. Just needed that little garnish to that last part of the message. I'm done now.
