In all locations of the internet you will find communities. There are communities centered around games, ones centered around people, and ones that are just centered on a specific topic. While these are just three examples of the infinite world that is the community, these are probably the biggest of the communities. These communities give feedback on whatever the topic but that feedback is not always nice. In every community, you will always have those people that will just never be satisfied no matter what is given. In a sense these kinds of people are just trolls whether they meant to be or not. Trolls annoy others on purpose with the objective of trying to waste time or try to have some fun. However, these never to be pleased people are not necessarily doing it on purpose as it is possible that they are genuinely just impossible to please. With that said, if the majority of a community enjoys what new things come out and then there is just these few people saying how terrible these things are, it can hurt the creator a bit. Feedback and bashing are two completely different things but when the "helpful" feedback comes in, the line between the two disappear. A large amount of people on the internet lack the self control and end up posting whatever is on their mind in that moment whether they truly meant it or it was how they wanted to word it. A shockingly large amount of rude comments and criticisms are regretted being typed almost immediately right after getting posted. So it is important to take a minute before any sort of post or reply to a comment and think whether they meant it or not. It is important to differentiate between feedback and hate.
