“oh well it’s constructive criticism’”

Let’s talk about the phrase “oh well it’s constructive criticism” and how people use that phrase to excuse themselves when they get called out for leaving criticism on fan-works. Especially in cases when criticism of any kind is not welcome, not warranted, and not asked for.

The thing is, unless criticism is asked for, it is not constructive no matter what the original intent is. To my mind and the mind of many other creatives/artist/writers there are only a few scenarios where constructive criticism is a legitimate response to something. Number one is obviously if you have been asked for it, the creative in question has given you explicit permission to critique their work. ex: “what are you honest takes/opinions on this thing?” then it is okay to give constructive criticism as it has been explicitly requested from the creative. Number two is in an educational setting. Like literary reviews of your classmates papers, teacher feedback after an assignment, the reviews you give at the end of a semester for your teacher’s class management. Otherwise, outside of these types of things, criticism for the sake of wanting to critique is rude. It is not constructive, because it’s not asked for. 

I have had several comments over the years with the theme of “well since i read it i get to have an opinion of it, i get to share my honest take” and to that i say, no you don’t actually. Because my work is fanfiction, that you have not paid for,  you are reading for free, that was not written with you in mind, that you could have stopped reading at any point, you don’t have the right to give your unwanted ‘constructive criticism’ to me the author. That is not me being sensitive, it not me being unfair or rude, it is just the fact. I am not making anyone read my fics, if you do not like the work, then do not read it- it is okay to stop reading a fic because you cant handle the writing style, or if there are lot of errors, or whatever. Just stop reading it. I can promise you, no author wants to see “well i liked this but the the wording you used it technically incorrect” cool, calling out what you think is a technical error when you have no bases for where an author is from and you are not their beta reader or editor, is something that is rooted in classism.  It does not make you superior to correct people for the words they use. Language is not linear. 

Saying “oh well it’s ‘constructive criticism’ ” makes you look like an asshat. If someone is calling you out for leaving criticism then it likely wasn’t asked for and thus it is not constructive.

For something to be constructive it must first have been consented to. It must be given in a way that is not mean or spiteful, or filled harmful intent, delivered kindly and with care. Constructive criticism when not consented to is never going to be considered constructive no matter how nicely it’s phrased. Just because something is accessible to you, just because it is available online, does not mean that it is consenting to critique.  

Ask before commenting with criticism. Assuming someone is open to it just makes you look silly. So just ask first, if you really feel the need to have to critique. If they say no, respect that decision. 

The difference between the first two ai imagines of Tae 😭

I'd love this so much if it ever happened to me 😭

If you are a fan fic writer and you're alright with people making fan art of your fic, reblog this 💚

I need multiple profiles across all platforms just so I can put on Taehyung's pics and appreciate his beauty. I swear he is a piece of art. Layover era rocks!

It would be so much fun to watch them debate on this in one of the Run BTS episodes. I miss watching Run BTS 😭💜
