Message: [QUOTE="Sonic Boomer, post: 127547, member: 320928"] There's a difference between taking any and all criticism, bowing your head down and thanking everyone who roasts you and being a spineless person and a person like me who gladly takes criticism he believes he can apply or benefit from and does so in an honest, direct way. But I've seen "criticism" trolling over the years on the internet, basically it's always the same song and dance. Someone who creates something shares it with a community, they get feedback and all goes well. Then someone comes in with a more rude approach right out of the gate and when the creator/artist what have you calls that person out on their attitude or implies their suggestions don't work for them the person who came in with the rude attitude instantly plays the "you can't take criticism" card sometimes swaying the entire community if they're gullible their way, but usually people see right through those folks. For example in this topic alone I took a lot of what was suggested to me and will be implementing it gradually in future videos. So just because I disagree with you and voice my disagreement, especially on how you worded your post it doesn't mean I don't take criticism, it means I'm experienced enough to not only filter the right criticism but also call people out when they're being rude and offering criticism just for the sake of being rude. I'm a fairly successful illustrator despite being visually impaired.

To this day, I have yet to find a client who doesn't respect this attitude I have towards my work. People often think that creative folk should be pawns of the public, that we have to humbly accept everything, bow our heads down and constantly humbly thank the abusers dishing out criticism left and right or accepting any and all criticism and implementing it in our work thus losing our identity in the process. But that's not how you do art, that's how people who are in it for the money or success do art or people who can't find the confidence to be themselves do art. And sadistic people who love being in control often gaslight and guilt trip artists when they don't humbly accept any and all criticism they throw at them because they WANT to be in control over what the artist does and enjoy seeing artists and creators struggle trying to implement any and all criticism thrown at them. Plenty of people offered advice and criticism in the topic, but I was very polite to them because they were polite as well about it. However you came in already expecting I'd disagree and you were just waiting for the right moment to play the "doesn't accept criticism" card. This isn't my first rodeo, son, I've seen many people like you over the course of my career and I've never fallen for their games. Bottom line guys, my point is, you want to learn not only to filer out criticism, but also who it comes from and how it is delivered to you. If you have the courage and ability it's a good idea to stand up to it and stand up for your work. Understand what applies to you, what can improve your work without it completely changing the spirit of what you are doing unless of course you are ok with wanting to try something completely new and different which is ok too.
