That "Fire Yoshi-P" signature is really icing on that shit-cake.


Honestly, most people have zero idea what constructive criticism even looks like let alone how to give it. It's a learned skill to both examine anything from that angle and to verbalize it. You can still sound like a dick when you do it correctly, too.

So you get people that are so unhappy and unable to get it out of their system that just vomit negativity. I've fallen down that far, too.
