Well, there's so much in here and now I'm gonna comment on something everyone totally forgot you said cause it was way at the top of this mile long post but people who make shitty comments.... absolutely they're losers. You literally have to be a loser to post something ripping apart someone's work. Only people who don't do anything do that. People who do shit themselves simply don't post shitty-ass comments on other people's stuff.
Mmm, sort of. I'm not opposed to negative criticism, even though it hurts my ego. Even non-constructive criticism is fine, if anything it just shows a lack of refinement by the poster. Or maybe they're trying to make a statement. I am an easy target, after all.
But yes, you're right. I was actually thinking of that quote when I wrote that section. But IMO it's too overplayed on the internet so I didn't want to include it.
