There's a thing called "tact" which Koopaul properly employed in this situation. Usually if you're harsh and blunt, like most critiques here tend to be, they lack tact and end up making the original artist feel backed into a corner. That garners negative results.

Not all nice or less-harsh critiques are bad. Sometimes the confidence boost from a kinder critique will help an artist work harder to improve, so that they can continue to please or gain kind comments.

There's also the fact there's more than one person posting blunt critique in the same fashion. It's like a gang of people showing up to kick the same horse over and over again. Sometimes the horse can get stronger from a few blunt kicks, but there's a point where there's far too much of it.
