Lecture from a Noob! *Yay*

You're completely missing the point.

You're saying that criticism isn't useful if the sprite looks passable. And that's fine and dandy, but have you considered that some people are getting involved in this not only to sprite their favorite characters, but to improve their current skill?

It doesn't matter if it looks passable to you or anybody else if the spriter is actually looking to improve in their work in every way possible.

Whether or not a sprite is good is not dependent on just the shading and the usability. It's dependent on structure, color palettes, emotion, and depth. If something looks off, we're going to crit it, because that's what we're supposed to do.

Whereas you keep making the "pointless crit" argument, ignoring when people are saying that there is no such thing as pointless crit. And then when people try to further their points, you just shoot it down and act like you magically don't care anymore. You're not actually seeing our angle for it-- you're just dismissing what we're saying in the hopes that this will just blow over magically.

And that's why people are still angry about it. :/
