I didn't.

I provided insight on the eyes because that was the trait which others were specifically taking note of, and i decided to throw in my two cents.

I'm not being a douche, i am being brutally honest in my perspective. I do that.

I don't pull punches because i might hurt someones feelings, i tell it like it is.

Got a problem with that? i don't care. I am doing what i always do, and what i have been doing for well over a year now.
 * Deep sigh* Alright,

I've reached the point where I've run out of energy and am able to clearly reflect upon what has been said thus far.

Looking back upon your review I still find it overtly blunt, but I see that you were trying to be helpful. As I have said before I agree and understand your points, but the way you opened your criticism snagged me the wrong way and I may have gotten a tad defensive. I apologize for my transgressions and would like to ask for your forgiveness. I appreciate your criticism, but I just don't agree with your blunt style.

Another thing that may have influenced my backlash was the term "snowflake" as I feel terms like that can severely limit what one does with a character out of fear that they will upset the masses. Yes, I know that can sound a bit pretentious, and I know these terms exist for a reason because if they didn't we'd have a WHOOOOOOOOLE bunch of shit characters polluting the internet like Chinese smog. But I really feel like small traits like this can really deter one from trying new things and that was my intention with the differently colored sclera.

I knew not everyone would like it because it was something experimental that didn't properly fit into the canon, and yes admittedly it does make the character a bit of a snowflake, not entirely a snowflake, just a bit of one. I was trying to use these things as character traits to support how a rounded character acted and physically represent a number of thematic elements. You have every right to criticize me for it and I will try and remember that you are just a blunt critic and I shouldn't take your advice nearly as harshly as I did in the future.

... Also the lack of capitalization in that first critique made me want to throw my keyboard through a god damn window. Anyways, I'd like to put this behind us. Alright by you?
