Myth 18: “Who Is Saying Constructive Criticism Is a Hater”

A Case Study

People post their cage setups and chameleons in specialist groups. 

They ask for help. 

They ask for assessment.

So, specialists come. 

They say their opinion.

 And then they focus on things that need to be redone.

As a rule, they first say what is wrong. 

Then they say why it is wrong. 

Then they say how to fix it—what to do.

And then the snowflakes come. 

They've been hiding backstage, but now they feel brave. 

They accuse the people giving advice of being "haters." 

They offer vague, useless feedback that helps no one.

 And sometimes, they even verbally attack the experts—calling them names, twisting their intentions, and claiming they're being "negative."

But let's be honest: Who is actually being negative and rude?

• The expert who gives structured, informed advice?

• Or the person who insults them for it?

• The one who deletes good advice and replaces it with harmful nonsense?

• The one who says "everything is fine" when it clearly isn't?

These snowflakes do not serve the community. They do exactly what they criticize—only worse. They silence truth. They sabotage learning. And sometimes, they cause real harm… even death.

Wake up, snowflakes.

To those seeking advice: Understand that criticism is for the good of your chameleon. And for your good too.

Because when your chameleon is healthy, you'll be happy. When we stay silent out of fear of being called "haters," Your chameleon will suffer. Your chameleon may die. And you will be devastated.

If that's what the snowflake wanted, Then that's not a kind person. That's a harmful one.

So let's be clear: Constructive criticism is not hate. It's care. It's responsibility. It's love—for the animal, and for the keeper.

If you can't handle that, Then step aside. This space is for truth, growth, and the well-being of living creatures. Not for ego protection.
