Some very good advice in this video on how to handle criticism. In particular, how to handle it when someone suggests your work has elements which are offensive.
That particular bit of advice begins at 12:10, in case my timestamp doesn’t work. But to sum up:
- Assume that the critic has the best of intentions
- Don’t become defensive or lash out
- Be open to hearing what they have to say
- Acknowledge any hurt that may have occurred
- Resolve to be more conscientious going forward
And I think most importantly — criticism of your work is not a personal attack.
