#but for real no one wants your grammer advice unless they specifically asked for it. it just makes people feel bad!

theres discourse of the day on twitter around someone saying people should 'expect' to be critiqued by posting fic on ao3, and that they should accept it in order to improve...

.....and like beyond the whole thing that unsolicited critique is rude af, the idea that crit from random strangers online is useful is one of the most laughable things.

Critiquing is a skill. Being able to give actually useful feedback that someone can learn from takes a whole lot of work. I feel like this ties back around to both the entitlment some people have towards fan creators' free stuff, as well as people not respecting the actual skills of editors and critics.

#and lets be real the types of people giving unsolicited critique is the last kind of person you want to be taking advice from #obviously this doesnt apply to situations like bigotry which people Should be open to listening too #but for real no one wants your grammer advice unless they specifically asked for it. it just makes people feel bad! #and if u point out 'issues' in anatomy or whatever in my art without me asking i will BITE you (and i probs already know) #the prophet speaks
