Criticism coward
A criticism coward (or criticism wimp) is an individual whose ability to handle criticism is poor.
Such usually reacts to legitimate criticism of their behaviour and/or work with one or more of the following: Neglect and ignorance, blocking, denial and distractions such as strawman arguments, weaponized logic-terminating buzzwords[note 1] and rhetoric tools such as argumentum ad hominem, gossip, slander[1] and possibly gaslighting, rather than rational and logical counter arguments and sincere civil discourse.
Other techniques commonly invoked by criticism cowards to evade criticism are red-herring, sophisms and rabulism.
Online[edit]
On online forums, communities and platforms such as Reddit, users with moderative and/or administrative powers also commonly invoke hidden policies and retroactive policy tyranny to evade valid criticism.
Notes[edit]
- ↑ Such misused weaponized criticism-terminating buzz words include “nazi”, “anti-semite”, “hater”, “troll”, “sea lion”, “whine”, and more, including variations of them.
