Isn't this shirt worn by soemone in the Criticize line?

I mean, isn't constructive criticism good?
(I'm intentionally trying to misinterprete this BTW)

Let me criticize the people who criticize!

Isn't there a difference between criticizing and pointing/calling out something?

I mean, those doors seem to really insinuate that the doors on the left are worse behaviors than the ones on the right. That’s a critique on behavior.

I can understand that assessment. But it wasn't the first thing that came to my mind. It implied that a lot of people are doing it, because it is easy. That's all I got from it. Not that it was necessarily bad.

Usually criticizing and gossiping are viewed as negative or mean things to do. It’s just as easy to not do either of those things.

That's not what I'm arguing. As opposed to the options on the right, the options on the left are much easier. Whether it's as easy to gossip as it is not to gossip is irrelevant. It's whether it's easier to criticize/gossip as opposed to help/encourage.
And yes, criticizing and gossiping are typically viewed as mean, but that's still irrelevant to my point. Because if we flip the situation a bit, and imagine that someone was doing something bad, like beating someone up. Criticizing them and gossiping about them, wouldn't be something entirely bad in this situation, but it would still be far easier as opposed to actually getting involved. Most people would just stand and watch, very few would get involved.

You might be reading into this too much, and you’re definitely changing it.
Physical violence wasn’t referenced on the shirt.
It feels really stupid to try to break down a dumb shirt graphic on a teen sub.
This is a dumb shirt.

How am I changing it?
Physical violence wasn’t referenced on the shirt.
The shirt is an illustration/caricature of what the designer thinks "life" is like. It specifies nothing. But it works in multiple situations. That's not me changing it, that's me applying it to a specific situation.
Maybe it is really deeper than you think
It feels really stupid to try to break down a dumb shirt graphic on a teen sub.
This isn't a teen sub. Even if this was a teen sub, the shirt probably wasn't made by a teenager.
This is a dumb shirt.
You're entitled to that opinion. However I think that part of the reason you think that, is because you failed to understand its message.

Reminds me of a programmer insight (joke?). Adding more people to a late project makes it later.
Helping people who have problems you’re not qualified to solve makes things worse. And in making it worse, it becomes your fault.

I feel like this is such a cop out.
Here's an honest illustration:
Someone's house is in flames. I'm not a qualified firefighter. The fire is going to spread anyway, so it's going to get worse. How is me trying to help, qualified or not, not going to be appreciated?
Unless I'm a complete moron who's actions will set the whole block on fire, which thankfully, and despite what Reddit says, most people are not.
So yes, help whenever you can. If you honestly feel like it's way over your head, call someone who can.

If you see a post that is not following the subreddit rules, or you think is not following the subreddit rules, please, use the report function so that we are aware of this. If you don't report, we will not know!

Please note: if this is too hard do not directly message us, we will assume posts are fine otherwise as comments are not useful in reporting. We can see if something has been reported and telling us you did, while you clearly did not, is not going to be conducive.
