Art or products should never be about the artist's or maker's personality or work ethic. It's about the end product -- whether it's good or not. Empathetic bullshit like "knowing what effort was put in" shouldn't cloud someone's creative and artistic judgement. If it's shit, it's shit and Oanst has been saying that. Yes, it's respectable if the person put great effort into their work, but in the real world if your end product is bad then won't move ahead any farther.
And personally, I think Oanst is in a perfectly fine position to be shouting these things. I talk with him regularly and I can tell you he knows his shit when it comes to giving accurate critique about someone's work. From my own perspective, his critique is somewhat black and white, but that's certainly better than giving diluded feedback dosed up on friendly bullshit like I've seen many people in Fan Corner give.
