In a way, Im glad that this particular drawing is getting attention. Its encompasses everything wrong with tumblr art.
1. Wonky faces
2. Changing a character's canon race
3. Making a pretty character look ugly
4. Making a character look like a racist sterotype
5. Big fat red tumblr nose
6. And huge mouths for no reason
He's more of a white knight in a way for whatever side he'll stay put on. Not to mention he loves to challenge you to video games if you disagree with him and blocks ya for doing so for shaming Tumblr culture.
If any artist of any kind gets mad/sad when someone shits on whatever they made, then they shouldn't put what they make online for the public to see and critique. It really is that simple and doesn't matter if it's drawings, music, whatever.
Pointing out that it's blatantly racist isn't a nitpick, and tumblrinas throw utter shit fits about much less. Also now that she's been told it's racist as fuck, if she keeps doing it, she is a racist.
While I do agree on that's exactly how these people think, I don't think you can consider a tweet to your, god knows how many, followers with the text "tumblr was a mistake" a viable critique.
As for the rest: going back to my stand up comedian analogy, the worst thing you can do when you get up on stage is argue with hecklers. Because when you argue, not only does it come at the expense of your own routine and the audience who came to listen to you perform, but it draws more attention to the actual heckler, you give them the advantage because they now know they're getting under your skin, and will likely encourage more to join in. It's much for productive for you and your audience to either ignore what the heckler is saying, or better yet, to take what the heckler is saying and make something out of it. It's also important to note that hecklers aren't just assholes (they can be, but not necessarily) but rather they are often a symptom that your routine isn't keeping your audience's attention as well as it should - either your delivery is poor/too slow, or your punchlines are weak, or your stage presence needs work, etc. - and that you should go back and see for yourself where things could be better.
But this sort of attitude being passed around isn't that randy's on the internet making heckling tweets shouldn't matter outside of maybe getting a feel for your audience, it's that those tweets shouldn't even exist. Especially when people who complain that it's not a real criticism unless it's put in the form of a compliment sandwich that lists at least 3 things someone liked about the art, are also the same people who will so smugly say "it's not my job to educate you" when throwing around allegations of shit like racism/sexim/whatever "ism" of the day, which are way more serious than "your art's ugly." That shit is transparently not about wanting "viable" critiques but rather an attempt to shut people down because the average joe can't articulate why they think your art is ugly.
It's like all these dumbasses forget the age old saying "don't feed the trolls" and decided to that rolling around in honey and then running around kicking beehives was the best course of action against memes and internet comments.
Okay, I've been looking at the Psycho Jenny tweet for like five minutes trying to figure out what OP's problem is. Horikoshi just... drew her a little cuter? It's not like he gave her giant tits or anything.
Edit: looked into it. OP is buttmad because Hori made Jenny's thighs thicker. Nevermind that Devilman is full of sex and nudity, and that we literally see Jenny's tits in canon at one point.
Also god bless the bottom guy's response. Semper fi, buddy.
(just give me the off-topic rating lol) but I'm just stating my thoughts as someone who used to be on tumblr (for the lulz). It's a community where if your characters or interpretations are "white, thin, straight" you're shunned (because equality, lul) and more "diverse" art is praised as Godly. A lot of this SJW art is just art made by teens who want to be included and praised by their peers... or maybe they're just afraid of people flaming them for being "racist" because they drew canonically Japanese characters their skin color and NOT ambiguously brown. SJWs don't want to hear this, but racial bending is NOT equality and it will not contribute to equality especially in the case of anime characters. If anything, racial bending just gives the artist a white savior complex even though those characters were originally Japanese.
The logic behind this art is astounding. Just draw for yourself, not for a community of teens who are stuck in a state of neo-progressiveness.
I don't watch much of Ok Ko but tumblr loose their shit over the female characters designs especially to Enid. They bitch about how it's sexual that Enid have a curvy body type for a black teen and its ""pedophilia"", even though she looks 18-19 with a full time job. Also complains her outfit is to inappropriate for a teenager. Here's a kicker, there's a character named Rad that have a buff muscle body type for a teen and wears the same outfit as Enid. Tumblr don't care about Rad design because he's a fucking male character. So tumblr only redesign the hell out of Enid to make her look ugly, fat, and look like a man to feel better about their own unattractive bodies.
If you take criticism of your art so seriously that you engage in self harm, you probably aren't ready to share your art with the public yet. Also, you need to see a therapist.
Unless you draw problematic content like gender bends, lolis/shotas, women with huge tits, futa, traps, etc you deserve all making fun of you and death treats

Have...none of them see how black women's bodies can be? Hint hint, I've seen 15 year old black girls with full ass curves. AND they dress like Enid. What happened to dressing however you want with no repercussions?
I forgot. That only works when it isn't a male who drew it.
