Granted. But at the end of the day, no one has to like an artist to like their work, and no one is above criticism.

That's what he doesn't understand, and that's what makes MY metaphorical-closed-circulatory-system boil, personally.

paraphrasing a quote i like that sorta relates
"criticism isnt a personal attack; you gotta distance your art/output from yourself"

@EightyNine: To slightly change the subject, no one is above criticism, but almost none of the criticism you'll find on the internet is helpful or constructive.

It's usually either a thumbs up or a doodle of a pooping butt, and that's pretty much it.

Took the intentions I was going to spread and swiped them from my mouth.
