That's a pretty cowardly way to view things.
"Don't speak your opinion because people might take offense to it."
In that case, you may as well not participate in anything at all, because people might take offense to your very presence. People do shit like that.

uhh
i guess i should have specified the grounds upon which concrit isn't necessary
for me, fanfic is one of them
bc a lot of fic writers have this complex

i mean

generally speaking, people will take offense to anything
(for example, people may be offended by your attempt at not trying to offend them)

so i guess what i'm saying is yes!!! i am for free speech
god bless america and all that

Not giving unsolicited critic on another person work is different than not speaking your mind about your opinions in general.

You might think a strangers outfit looks bad, but it's not cowardly to keep that you yourself.

Nah. If someone writes a fic that insults me (ie, is misogynist) then I'm going to say something. I don't care if they want criticism or not, they put it in public then it's open season.

Also, your strangers clothing outfit is a bad analogy. Writing fic is more like being a socialite going to a club like Paris Hilton, then her choice of fashion is up for public scrutiny and criticism (good or bad) because she's putting herself out there as a fashion diva.

Finally, if a person doesn't want feedback, all they have to do is turn off that option. They will still be talked about if they write something that is really good or really really really, bad, but it won't be in their metaphorical backyard.

Finally - most fic that gets posted is mediocre, nobody cares enough to comment at all. Hell most people don't even comment if they like the fic. If you get long concrit (exception being if your fic is offensive) then it's a compliment because your fic stood out enough from the samey-sea of crap fic mediocrity to somebody else, enough so, that they took time out of their life to bother.

Point out things at are offensive is an separate issue from the idea of leaving concrit in general.

You are also missing my point. My point wasn't that you shouldn't give concrit if you want to. My point was that it's not cowardly to choose not. It's still not cowardly to chose not to comment on Paris Hilton hypothetical ugly outfit.

Not every site has the option of turning off feedback.

Just because you think of it as a complement doesn't mean everyone else does or that they are even required to do so. I don't agree with people getting upset when they receive concrit, but if they don't want it, they don't want it and not everyone wants to waist their time giving someone something they might not want.

It's like you're trying to be obtuse. They're saying there's no point giving concrit where it's unsolicited because more likely than not, it'll offend someone who didn't ask for it. That's just true. You're not pressed to give concrit to anyone who never asked for it so it's not like an opinion you MUST voice.
