I'm not dismissing her concerns- I'm commenting on the character of the writer of a critique who is basing their critique off of less than a fifth of the material of an entire piece.
That kind of reaction screams oversensitivity to me in a bad way- It's like someone looking at one of my digital art pieces, and then posting up a rant that critiques the hell out of the skull in the lower left corner, yet fails to mention any other significant detail of the piece at all. They consciously chose to go off on their trigger issue, rather than looking at any other part of the piece as a whole.
And yes, I'll admit hypocrisy was a lousy word to use- I was short on time getting out the door, and wanted to make sure I at least got the comment posted, as so many of my posts have been getting dumped by the wayside lately due to me being too busy with stuff around here instead of online. "Short-sightedness" might have been a better choice to go with. Or perhaps "rampant idiocy." Were this critique based on anything other than trigger issues like sexism or racism, that'd be the reaction it would receive, and in my mind likely deserves.
