... I weirdly also would be on board with this. Might be therapeutic (or is the word cathartic?) for Rick and I'm sure even with the intent to offend he'd make it entertaining

Playing tricks on representatives of posters who annoy him? Sounds therapeutic and I hope never to see a poet(!)GameCobra wrote:Too mean.Dissension wrote:Oh, man, I love it. Please, please, Rick, make Hatepets! a thing

Blasphemy for those that call it.
Whether it rhymes
ahead of his times
This poster knows he's done it.

And then people would realize who these "representatives" really are and opens a massive can of worms we'd rather not deal with.

Are you even supposed to have feelings about something like that, though? I would have just pegged it to 'person usually has nothing important to say' and not cared.So, given that, how am I supposed to feel when I see a particular commenter come in day after day with very little to say about the thing I intended them to feel?
Nothing. As long as it's there to be seen by people more intelligent than them, it shouldn't matter what else they want to say about it.But what am I supposed to do THEN, even when I see such comments and subsequently do my best to address concerns, only to have it blow over their heads like there's nothing to notice? Or that the effort I put is in fine but now there's all these other things to complain about?
Well, you certainly won't succeed if your goal is to appease everyone. That simply isn't a thing that can happen.The only thing I can possibly conclude, in attempting to receive criticism graciously, is that I absolutely cannot do anything right no matter what I try. And it's really hard to sit down in front of a blank screen and figure out what to do next when the feeling is that failure is inevitable.
Does this happen a lot? I'd expect it to be more of a troll thing than an actual criticism.[...] or that they pointed out an art mistake by saying "did you change the style again" as though that DOESN'T obviously sound like a passive-aggressively smug way of saying "you suck and I noticed".
So, not actually a solution, either. I'd like to offer an alternative here, but my methods don't often pair well with having feelings.The only real solution is to remove myself from the comments entirely, at which point I get NO feedback, I get to feel like I'm not making this for anyone who appreciates it, and I get the additional anxiety all the time wondering if I'm actually making something that anyone really appreciates.

Not to sound like I don't understand your points Fish, but why are you replying to all this stuff like this? It doesn't make you look like you want your criticism to lead to people changing due to it, it seems like criticism just for the sake of criticizing.Fish Preferred wrote:I don't get it.rickgriffin wrote:No, the real reason is that I'm terrified of disappointing people.

I'd subscribe to Lucretia's channel anytime!!
EDIT : I've just read Rick's post...
I've said it before and I'll say it again: criticism is easy, but the art is not.

Like what, exactly? In fact, what did I even criticise there, aside from an unreachably lofty goal that I'm not even sure anyone has?Gameb18oy wrote:Not to sound like I don't understand your points Fish, but why are you replying to all this stuff like this?

Re: 2018/10/08 - Talking To The Camera
Yes, you are in fact criticizing a goal that Rick is not trying to achieve. Since that seems to be your main point, people are making the assumption that you are misunderstanding Rick's point and are trying to help you understand. If you approached Rick's points more like he was taking a sensible middle stance, people might actually engage with your points better

But, see; I'm not here to challenge his points. I'm trying to see if there is a solution to the social anxeity he described.Obbl wrote:Yes, you are in fact criticizing a goal that Rick is not trying to achieve.

Re: 2018/10/08 - Talking To The Camera
For most people, social anxieties just take years and years of living with them and getting adjusted to how they influence you, sometimes combined with a little help from professionals. Mostly there's no sudden epiphany, just slow progress. And often if someone is talking candidly about their anxieties, any insights you think you might have are already well understood by that person and they hear your same insights from several individuals every single time they bring it up. So the best response is usually just to sympathize/empathize and trust that they are doing the best they can
