I’m glad you brought this up because this is something that’s been bothering me too.
I’m a magnet for negative comments simply because I make pinup artwork depicting women with disproportionate breasts. I’m very proud of the work that I do and I completely understand that it’s not for all tastes. I’ve had plenty of people give my images low ratings because of the subject matter and I believe that’s completely unfair. That would be the same thing as me seeing a render of 2 men holding hands and saying “Your work sucks because I’m not gay!” Of course I’m above that.
If I have any actual criticism about an image that I feel is worth the artist’s attention, I’m very respectful about it. “I think doing this or changing that would really do your piece some justice.”
I’m all for giving the artist the ability to remove derogatory comments, but in a way that would defeat the purpose of even having a rating system in the galleries.
These jackasses just need to keep their political/religious/sexual/self-gratifying opinions to themselves and focus on the goddamned artwork.
AND DON’T DO DRUGS!
