Scale. Nitpicking is a type of criticism, but a very superficial one. Nitpicks are done because you enjoy complaining where as (good) criticism is usually done out of desire to see improvement. This usually reflected in how substantial it is, since nitpicks are a bunch of minor unrelated things where as good crit tackles a persistent issue.

So you think that people who criticize Ariana Grande are only doing so because they like complaining, and also that they wouldn't complain about her if she was was a man?

People would still complain, but it'd be nowhere near as intense or persistent if she were a man. Additionally, most of it has to do with her appearance, which automatically would be de-emphasized.

But the question still has to be whether the criticism is legitimate or not. Sure, she wouldn't be criticized as much if she was a man, because we let male celebrities get away with insane amounts of bullshit. Chris Brown still has a career, etc. But that doesn't mean that the criticism is illegitimate, or that it wouldn't be worth making if she was a man.

And I don't think the criticism is nitpicking, I think it's substantive, or at least there's substance present. I think it's pretty chickenshit to act like your work is beyond criticism, for one thing.

Then why all focus on her, when there's much more terrible people in the industry? Is it because she's less threatening and more accessible than the Chris Browns and Roman Polanskis of entertainment?

Again, I don't think that makes the criticism wrong

I guess, that's where we differ, because I think most of the criticism towards is so nitpicky, it's not worth bringing up, despite some truth.
