You're criticizing (different word here) work that other people than the original creators are posting to the forums by calling it "creepy." That is not critiquing. You also use the word "samey." What does that even mean? Do you want multiple different people to draw drastically different ideas of the same concept? Maybe they all think about it in similar ways. It's fanart of an existing idea based off of what we are being shown already. Again, "samey" is not good critique. You can't just say something is X without any explanation and call it critique.
Thank you for this explanation. Too many people think they can insult art and get away with it under the guise of "critique". Some users try very hard to paint their negative attitudes as allowable in the lense of critique or opinions, but both of these things can and should be expressed in a way that is polite to all involved.
