User blog comment:Vanillq/if you could read this please that'd be great/@comment-25110166-20170727185216

I haven't been here long so idk if my opinion fits but whatever.

I agree with some users below; this is one of the better sites i've seen when it comes to comments. Some of them on poorly-written stories could be a little more constructive but like you said in the blog, these writers are probably kids who are just beginning to write. The comments I've seen on other stories and my own are all generally pretty balanced between constructive and complimentary. There are more friends egging friends on with decent/crappy stories than absolute hate, which is the better of the two I assume.

But this blog is also a great reminder to everyone who comments. I try to be careful not just here but wherever to seek what I like in the story and tell them, because comments and reviews are absolutely what keeps a person going. I was lucky enough to receive minimum hate for whatever stories I made, fanfictions or otherwise, and that was what fueled me to keep writing. Just a few years ago, I want to say 2014? I was mean. Like, I thought I was being constructive but my comments and reviews were harsh - I moved past that quickly though lol. I've seen kids bullied out of writing, art, music, anything they're just a beginner at because an adult looked down at them and scorned them. I realized that if I were in their place, I definitely wouldn't want my circa-2014 comments on my story. So this blog definitely makes some great pointers.

All in all, bullying should never be tolerated and I like how this blog addresses it. I haven't seen it much here but again I'm new so I can't speak for the whole site. It generally seems like it's held steady without much unresolved hate in nearly a decade, which is impressive. :)
