I see your point.

Some people are defensive and whiny. But I also see alittle of another side of the coin. Some people don't get that how they say something is just as important as what they say.

I was asked by someone to be a beta for their OC. Their OC at first, was a total Sue with a badly written rape and dead parents as backstory.

But I helped them by being honest but kind in my honesty telling them "hey, is there a reason you're adding this...you really should be careful about how you do that". I showed her a few GOOD sue litmus tests and told her what to avoid and be careful about with her character and WHY. She completely turned her story around into something with potential.

I gave her a reason to sit down and listen to me. A lot of reviewers nowadays forget that. Some I've seen seem to act like they're OWED an audience and the writer HAS to do everything they say or "you can't take criticism" ( hell I once saw someone suggest a new outfit for someone's super heroine outfit because the old one was "boring" . The OC's outfit was actually decent and was made understated as it was so as not to outshine the canon protagonist (IIRC) But when the creator explained this in her reason why she didn't want to change it, it was touted as an example of her 'not being able to take criticism)

So yes. Some people need to be less sensitive. But critics need to also be smart about how they say things and not be fucking demanding. Try being creative with your critique, and showing things from the canon to advise them on how the character might act. But just remember that the way you say something goes a long way in how they will react.

You get more flies with honey than vinegar.

and if you approach someone with passive aggressive hostility or with the idea that your word is LAW by default than you're never going to know who would respond nicely if you were friendly and who is really just an oversensitive brat.

Sorry if it seems like I'm assuming things but, I'm just going by my experiences and what I've witnessed in fandom.
