The reason why people are getting so annoyed is because they're putting forth the effort to try to help you.
What's important to always keep in mind is this:
They wouldn't be giving critique if they didn't care
Consider this: even though I've been drawing for 20+ years, I still seek out critique and openly enjoy having a different set of eyes point out flaws that I could have missed. It has to be taken into consideration that pixel art still follows the same principles that any 2D artform does, but the implementation is what sets it apart from those mediums. There are reasons why everyone is talking about hue-shifting and optimizing color palettes: because it's effective and simply looks better.
brushing off someone's critique is effectively brushing off the time that they've taken to provide an alternate viewpoint on how to improve or even things to try or think about; It's extremely rude and I would call into question: why even post if you don't want input on how to improve?
