say it with me: unsolicited critique/constructive criticism is Bad. it is harmful to creators and makes you look like an ass. don’t do it.

Yes!

If someone asks you to throw a bucket of water on them? They have a good reason for this. Maybe they’re hot. Maybe they like water. Maybe they want to know what it feels like. They’re probably outside, wearing clothes that can get wet, ready to be wet.

If someone is randomly walking down the street, not prepared to get a bucket of water dumped on them, then doing so is FUCKING RUDE. They came outside their house, yes. They walked in the possible line of your water, yes. But that doesn’t mean they’re prepared for or desiring water suddenly dumped on them without warning!!

Don’t be a jerk. Treat negative criticism the same way.
