Because "overall ugly" is not a constructive comment. They may not like it, that's okay, not a reason to shit on the app
what? ... not liking an app is the most appropriate reason to shit on an app.
It's the cause, not an excuse
you don't need an excuse to shit on anything.
What a useless debate. Anyway they were asking why I was "condescending", well if you shit on a voluntary work, just because it's not at your taste, you are a shit person
voluntary work doesn't make you immune to criticism and no you're not a shit person for criticizing any work.
I'd say you're a shit person if you can't handle criticism though.
Constructive criticism is different than talking shit. Still a useless debate
Nice strawman btw
talking shit is a completely different thing. and where's the strawman? it feels like you don't know what words mean.
"And no you're not a shit person for critizing any work" is the strawman
it's not though
It is since I criticized only non-constructive criticizing and not critizing in general
I disagree. "It's ugly" is valid criticism. It has the same value as "needs better/more appealing graphics". You're just annoyed it wasn't sugar coded. In fact I'd argue the former is more valuable than the latter because it doesn't beat around the bush and more importantly it points to a problem rather than the solution.
As a designer I find that most often customers don't hit the mark by trying to design the thing themselves, telling me exactly what they want, essentially trying to do my job for me. Hearing the customer's problems with it to figure out a solution on my own as a designer is better a vast majority of the time.
"I don't like it" is bad. "I think it looks awful" is better. "I hate the colors" is best. I don't really care about wording, I care about the information I get.
I don't give a shit if I'm a shit person for "shitting" on voluntary work. That is how progress is made. Sorry if it bursts your bubble.
Besides, you speak as if I only typed "overall ugly" and left it there. As you can see, I gave more reasons. And all those are valid reasons.
I couldn't care less about you giving no shit about being a shit person for shitting on voluntary work. You could just have put the constructive criticism. Putting valid reasons doesn't justify throwing in an invalid one
Yeah that's constructive criticism. "Your app is ugly, UI is laggy, the design is inconsistent" What else do you want? Drop code snippets? You clearly do give a shit judging by how triggered you got.
And how is calling it ugly an invalid reason? The app looks ugly.
