Insults are NOT Critiques

okay.
1st stamp, so it sucks.
Yes, I actually DO have an issue with insults being used as Critiques, it does not help the artist, it only puts them down and makes them feel terrible.
There are living breathing people on the other side of that screen, start acting like it.

Some examples of what I or my friends have recieved:
"What...?"

And when my friends dog died, she did art to keep him in memory and said she hoped he was in heaven, and someone actually came onto her deviation and told her, and I QUOTE.
"You can not take material positions to Heaven, and dogs can not go to Heaven... they do not have souls."

and also to me when I asked them to stop harassing her, because her dog just died:

"I understand how painful losing a pet can be, but the pain of eternal torment in Hell is infinitely worse.

Are you saved, Arceus-sama?"

~How is ANYONE going to hell for grieving over a lost pet?


I've also had one person come onto a creepypasta of mine and call it a cookie-cutter theme (which it wasn't, it was similar to one I had written long ago, but the differences were extreme)
That person then proceeded to call everyone who liked the deviation
"A furry or eeveelution fag"

hm. Ended up insulting a lot of my friends, so needless to say they were blocked

Other instances I've seen:

Dear gog.
Just yesterday some lovely young lady had a picture of her cosplay, which yes, needed minonr improvement in the fit and the mask.

Quite a few of the comments I saw insulted her and called her many rude things (to say the least).
This is not in any way a Critique. It was flaming

I've also seen someone (Who I know for a fact was just flaming for fun, but called himself an "Art Appreciator") go on a picture of someone who was actually quite pretty and his supposed "Critique" was:

"Your ugly"

This was neither a critique, nor helpful to the artist.
This was just blatant flaming.

When you see something you don't like, you have several options:
1. Don't comment, leave silently. no trouble made.
2. Comment rudely, there will be lots of trouble.
3. If it's good, but needs improvement sandwhich it (one good, one bad, good again- it works)

So please enjoy the stamp, I'm sure lots of people agree with this.
