I agree, but I don't think that's the point the OP was trying to make. I think he's just expressing frustration that there are probably a lot of people in fandom who would be more than willing to leave constructive crit but are too afraid to do so because of the stigma against anything that isn't mindless praise.

Mm. I think the stigma is well-deserved though. If fandom in general were capable of giving great, useful writing advice and doing it in a classy way, it'd be great. But of course it's just not that way. People have different ideas of what 'concrit' actually is, and different ideas of what they really want when they ask for it, and it's nigh impossible to determine that before commenting. And that's fine. People are different. But that means a culture of 'just be nice' is the substitute.

Which means writers have to work to find good beta readers or editors. And it is on them to learn their own craft. It's possible to do that if you put the effort in. It just takes time to find the right friends or group.

DA

I agree. This is the same reason professional writers for TV and movies and shit don't read every piece of fanmail crit they get. Because it's mostly a waste of time and 99% of it is from people who don't know shit about writing, but are still sure they could do it better than the people whose actual jobs it is to write.

I dislike that people don't feel free to leave crit, but I also dislike the idea that if somebody leaves crit, it must be quality crit always and the author should read it and be thankful and keep it in mind, and if they don't they're an asshole. That's not how it works.

yeah thats what I thought OP meant.
