This is an issue I see a lot. And not just with butthurt fanbois whining at me.
They swarm anyone that rates lower than 4* on any of the "popular kidz" content.
Sarcasm aside. Let me break this down.
Generally, the "argument" is that "Look how GOOD they are at drawing X!".
To which: And?
That's 100 % irrelevant. They are drawing Y in this picture.
To point out the stupidity in this "argument", this is basically pulling a "Why did you fail my son in math?! Don't you see how GOOD he is at geography?!"
Primarily in porn, this usually boils down to an artist being incompetent at female genitalia.
That's like, the go to "be useless at" pick. Hands and feet are somewhat close contenders though.
This is however also the ONLY body part in porn that the interwebs has deemed okay to be useless at.
As, you know... we don't have a single artist that draws copy paste, simplified prepubescent penises on EVERYTHING. And even if we did: They wouldn't be allowed to get away with claiming "It's my art style".
I've seen 3 websites ban people for not being able to draw horsedick "correctly". So yeah: No. It's somehow only pussy that people can get away with being completely inept at.
Trailing off aside: I do not care if someone is famous.
If they fail: They fail.
They have even LESS business failing than a unknown artist.
If I see someone new with like, 60 followers mess up. I inform them of the mess up. No fuss.
But when Mr Bigshot strolls in with 40k followers and doesn't even know what the fuck a perineum is... then yeah. I WILL tear them a new asshole. As they should have learned that 10 years ago.
I can't stress this enough: I. do. not. care. That they are SUPER good at drawing triple-tipped, knotted demon horse dicks. Or that they can draw over 100 types of dicks in a 4K, HD photo realistic style.
This current picture is of a girl. They made a sad excuse of a pussy. And their only reason for this is "Lol, I'm too lazy to learn how to draw them properly!".
Yeah, no.
No free pass. They got a shit rating, cuz they did a shit job.
It's THAT simple. They'd get the SAME rating if they did the dick just as badly.
I do not care how many followers they have. If they do a bad job. They did a bad job.
The fact 20000 people REALLY likes how they draw dicks, doesn't affect the fact that they drew the cunt incorrectly.
If a movie or game for example gets 10/10 in ALL but ex: Sound. Where it gets a 0/10.
The final score won't be 10/10, funnily enough.
Also, yes: To quickly address it. I do not rate with the median average when it comes to repeat offenders. Or the "top tier" artists. I simply have it so that: The final score cannot be higher than the lowest score.
As: That is primarily how these artist rate content. Along with how all their fans rate content. Except I include pussies into this calculation. Not exclusively penises.
To touch on a few examples: (And, to break down why "Actions speak louder than words". Unless someone can back up their claim. Their claim is useless. Especially when it contradicts their actions. Granted, benign stuff rarely requires evidence, unless something challenges that claim. Ie the classic "The more extraordinary the claim, the more extraordinary evidence is needed.". So: If they say they have a pet cat. You can prolly trust them. But, if they say they got a pet giraffe...)
1: A guy that lies about being a "lesbian artist". (As in: An artist that draws lesbians. Not a lesbian that is an artist.)
Like, 80 % of his content is exclusively male animal, female human beastiality. Or "Dude with a hyper dick, raping a woman". They do got quite a few female pinups. BUT: They ONLY know how to draw ONE female body type+pussy.
But they can draw HUNDREDS of males and penises.
He is just, completely useless at drawing lesbians at varied females.
His fans argues that "I can't judge him on that." since "LOOK at how AMAZING he is at drawing dicks!".
Now: That MIGHT have held some value if not for the, you know: Him being a self-proclaimed "professional lesbian artist"... that can't properly draw lesbians... or girls... but he is an EXPERT at drawing males so... that should give him a free pass? Context does matter.
2: A guy that made a HUGE deal about how "every single penis is unique and hand drawn!" in one of their biggest animations. Now: They couldn't come up with a SINGLE female monster for this since "Girls are hard...". Which: Fair enough. Lame excuse. But, it's porn... it doesn't even need an excuse to exclude a certain gender.
Now, where the issue here crops up is: The main female character didn't have a uniquely designed pussy... (Which on a side note: Is VERY common in porn games. Many even forget to create one. Or use a placeholder as the final design.) Which to me: Clashed heavily with the whole "Every single one is unique" bragging narrative. Like, you could put ALL that effort into making every single make unique... but couldn't bother spending more than a minute on the main girl that was gonna be in every single scene? (Again: VERY common for porn games xD)
The final strike however, was when the "obligatory other girl" showed up. (Cuz she was in the series this was based on.) And he fucking copy pasted the main girls pussy onto the ONLY other girl.
That amount of lazy is inexcusable to me. And then: Like his flop of an attempt of a lesbian animation... he just has the other girl fucked by the random males since again: "Girls hard :<" and the cherry on top was the sad squirt attempt. Which, for someone who prides himself on doing cumshots...
3: A guy that made a game about a "time travelling lesbian out to save her lesbian girlfriend".
And the game contains 0 unique pussy models. (But dozens of unique males+dicks) 0 female minigames. (But 10+ male ones) And out of 200+ scenes. It contains ~4 % lesbian content. And it's riddled with lies and false advertisement.
Like: I don't give a FUCK about "how amazing the scene about the gay man with a GIANT DICK is.".
The girl on girl content is crap. Only TWO scene are even finished. (Up from ONE a year ago.)
And I'm using "finished", as every. single. male. scene. has a climax. (Narrative story scenes obviously get a pass. But talking about sex scenes.)
It gets a crap rating, because it's a crap lesbian game. Which is what it advertises itself as.
Heck, even IF it advertised itself as a game where you control a female PC, but change into a male MC for the majority of sex scenes. And that it's a maledom, female abuse game... I'd STILL rate it badly due to how awful the lesbian scenes are. (Or like that other game that claimed to have lesbian content... but didn't release a single scene for 3-4 years... then launched the sequel to that game... while still having 0 lesbians in the first game... but claiming it DID have lesbians... and it also never finished the female models because the artist was too lazy to do so... But hey: If sticking a dick through skin works for lazy 3D animators! /S) Granted: I wouldn't rate it AS badly. But we are talking going from 1/5 to 2/5. As: If you cannot deliver something. Don't promise it. It's that simple.
Well, to wrap this up: I do not think being lazy or incompetent should grant someone a free pass. Not even if famous.
Especially not simply because "they are not completely awful with this other thing!".
To make a bad Iron Chef comparison: If a guy walks in with a perfectly sauteed dish... and a slab or RAW chicken on the side. Do you think Gordon would just go "Well... it IS raw. But... have you SEEN the craftmanship on the sautéing?"?
I'm no Gordon. But I don't let that shit slide either. If someone wants credit for the work: DO THE WORK. Not point at something else and go "But, but! I did this OTHER work really well!". They're NOT getting 5 stars just because they draw 5 star dicks. They get what they deserve. They wouldn't get 5 stars if the dick looked as bad as the pussy. So, why should they get a special exception?
And to be clear: If someone uses a blurred picture as a background instead of drawing one: That's often fine. As said: Context matters. But when they come in here trying to use PS5 dick graphics with a N64 pussy: Get outa here!
And as it bears repeating: A preference is NOT an art style. It's a preference. Generally to be lazy.
In order to make it an art style, to quote a Disney animator: "In order to make something your style. You MUST understand the anatomy of it. So you know what you change in order to make it yours.". A LACK of anatomy, is quite the opposite of that. Never learning how to do it, doesn't count. Nor does mismatching styles.
I know fans will keep being butthurt that their senpai isn't being given special treatment.
But I'm beyond caring. I give artists the same respect they treat others with. If that's not enough for some people: How about they go tell the artist to shape up instead of being angy at the critics for hurting their feewings? /S
And yes: I AM aware some of my reviews are unfair. Even by my own standards. But those are done on days where I've run into the same shit over and over and over and over again. I know that isn't a good enough reason. But hey: We're only human. And I do try to rectify those reviews within a week.

Who you talkin to dude
Kattlarv
A ton of people, actually.
A LOT of the more famous people in several fandoms are too lazy to put effort into X. Yet, as said: Demands a free pass because "I am really good at drawing Y."
It's not uncommon for people to put 4+ hours into a penis. Then spend ~2 minutes on a vulva. And demands equal praise for it. And that is as said: In addition to barely knowing how to draw 1 vulva. While knowing 50+ penises.
Heck. With lesser known artists. If you point out ex: That they drew a vulva upside down. Most of them go "Oh thanks! I didn't notice.". Whereas the famous fucks pull out the "It'S mY aRt StYLe!"
