It's the internet people WILL be harsh it's just how it is. You just need to learn to either accept what's wrong and use it to get better or ignore them. Don't act like a child and snap back, that wont do you any good.
This is extremely important if you ever want to get a job doing art. You wont last long if you snap at your boss
You can't expect to get nice comments all your life after all!
Sorry it's just such a pet peeve of mine. I've been seeing more and more people I watch act like children when it comes to this and I lose respect for them when I see it.
I hate seeing that. Especially towards people who were polite.
I hate seeing that plus artists that think they're the best thing since sliced bread.
Yeah, but there's a difference between asking for crits and wanting to know how you can improve or someone walking up to you and telling you that it sucks--especially if there is nothing substantive to it. If someone came up to me and said "Your art is terrible" then I will definitely snap back. Even if they came up and said, "Your anatomy is terrible." I'd still snap back because there is absolutely nothing needed or whatever to that. That's not criticism. That's being a jerk--especially if I didn't particularly want criticism.
If someone came up to me and was like, "Hey, your leg anatomy could use a bit of work. Here's how you could fix it, here's a few tutorials, and have a website," Then I will be a lot less upset and a lot more willing to communicate, whether or not I asked for a criticism. Because they're not trying to tear me down, they're trying to help me. So tl;dr when giving criticism make damn sure it's suggestions and helpful as opposed to "wow you suck and this sucks" because you will get flak.
