micro-criticism

also: micro-criticism, microcriticism, micro-criticize, micro-criticized

1: A statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

2: Criticising someone by using a different person as an example. Not necessarily intentional.

3: Intentionally criticising a person covertly, in an easily deniable way, as the actual subject being criticized is not referenced directly, but is only hinted at through situational context. A technique sometimes used in "gaslighting".
"My mother's story about a former friend was a pretext to micro-critize my life's choices."

"He made a micro-criticism when he said to me that he hates that other person's pants, while I was wearing the same kind.

"When I confronted her for insinuating I was fat, she got defensive and said I misunderstood, she was talking about other people, not me. I felt bad for getting mad, but we were talking about me in the first place. Was it a micro-criticism, or am I overly sensitive?"

constructive criticism

When an individual gives critisism of a piece of work in a way, which directly describe the part of the work they found inadequate or unpleasant usually backed up with arguments/their reasoning for why they found it so.

This form of critisism is often meant as a genuine help for the original creator of the work to improve in the future, though it is up to the person receiving the critisism to reflect on and see if they agree with it.

An individual who becomes enraged when receiving constructive criticism is reffered to as a "Dick"
Boy I sure am happy that someone gave me constructive criticism that I can use to reflect on my work and improve on it in the future, instead of just saying "bro this shit is fucking ass".

I should be very thankful they took the time to actually write constructive criticism that might help me gain a different perspective and see flaws in my own work, which I might have overlooked due to personal bias for my own work, instead of writing "bro this shit is fucking ass".

I really am lucky to not have my head so high up my own ass, that I am able to look at this constructive criticism and gain some valuable insight that I would not have been able to if they just wrote "BRO THIS SHIT IS FUCKING ASS".

Ayn Rand's criticism of altruism

As someone who has cited this on so many occasions that it's IN MY PREDICTIVE TEXT... Why do you think it would logically follow that I wouldn't wnat credit or money?
Hym "Seriously! I've cite Ayn Rand's criticism of altruism so many time it's in my predictive text! That's what makes it something-something non-sequitur guys! Try literally anything other than Uno Reverse and Something-Something Non-sequitur ONE TIME! It's a literal coin toss."
