My Response to TOXIC Feedback
First and foremost, I'd like to call out my own actions in this. I've made my mistakes too and I'm willing to step up and take the blame for what I've done wrong, however, the Mine Imator Community has been in a spiral of negative feedback, neglecting criticism and egoism and I want to address this.
We are all just trying out best and trying to create art, animations and express ourselves through the medium and all the negative attitude towards each other is really obsolete and unnecassary. I really want to see the community thriving and helping each other, being proud for each other's achievements and just be a friendly and supportive community of all the animators.
We all have goals and dreams and we're all learning to grow and become better slowly. Everybody makes mistakes, which is only natural.
Mistakes shouldn't be taken as penalties and criticism shouldn't be taken as an attack. Aggressive feedback causes defensive attitude and defensive attitude causes aggressive feedback. We don't need any of this and frankly, it's toxic and demotivating. We all need to take a step forwards, resolve the conflicts and try again with a more positive attitude.
I'm pretty sure that everybody's intentions are good, it's just the bad approach, that shines a bad light onto everybody.
Let's be friends and let's support each other and interract in a more kind and healthy way. We're all trying to be good and we're all trying to do good, let's not forget that.
