The critic has no need to lay things off nicely. He just needs to point out the problems and If he wants to he can explain how to fix it, but he has no need to make the artist feel good about himself.

Mizu wasn't even mean. Like holy shit. He just pointed flaws and how to approach the problem. Like nothing else, SecretName just went on trying to prove Mizu he didn't need to, and that's the whole debate, mizu telling him how he should approach it and SecretName saying no I don't(or I already do it when it wasn't what mizu meant).
Sifter wrote:Mizu, you're not better than him, to begin with, and you're treating him like a stickpagian filled with hot air. If he didn't feel convinced, that's his problem and you should leave it there. But it's also Secret's fault for taking you seriously from the first place.
Being good has nothing to do with CC. Like why do you even bring that up. SecretName just needs to learn how to deal with CC (either take it or not, not trying to prove the critic wrong)
This just tires me cause you're treating Mizu like if he was being completely mean when all he did was try to make SecretName realize he has a lot to work on and explain how he should approach it.
