>>3799497Yeah, the overuse of the term became a bit of a running joke in places like twitter because JP artists would use it even for some of their best terms, especially since it's really just the western fandom that is weirdly anal about such things.
It's still somewhat understandable in my eyes though. These are stressful times for many people, and while you nee to be able to take a healthy dose of criticism and especially be able to instantly differentiate between constructive and not-so-constructive criticism if you want to be a successful artist, sometimes people just don't want to have to deal with that. It's what's stopped me from wanting to learn to draw, since people online are, in my experience, generally very vile and elitist, and I just don't have the capacity to deal with that very well when I'm already the kind of person that struggles to enjoy something without already being good at it.
