Compassionate Critic | comment |
A person who believes, or pretends to believe that being bluntly negative in any evaluation of another person or object is for their own good, far better than using tact or encouragement. This can be a sincere thing or a thin excuse for being a Jerkass. For example, a parent who tells their kid that their attempts at art are abysmal and worthless because they want the child to go into the family business, which the parent thinks will be better for them in the long run. Or the coach who constantly insults and demeans their players in order to motivate them to do better. Or the person who's just plain unpleasant to everyone because other people won't fix their flaws unless you point them out in detail, repeatedly. If the compassionate critic's victim actually cares about their opinion and wants to earn their approval, this overlaps with "Well Done, Son" Guy. Drill Sergeant Nasty adopts this technique during the early part of training, though the competent ones will vary the routine once their troops improve. This is also a favorite tactic of the Evil Matriarch and the Stealth Mentor. If the Compassionate Critic is actually paid to give their opinions on a field of endeavor, this overlaps Straw Critic. When the critic really does mean well, this is a form of Cruel to Be Kind. It may also make them a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. A related Internet Persona is the "concern troll", who assures the group a forum is based around that he has their best interests at heart, and "you feminists would get a lot more done if you weren't always nagging about wanting equal rights" or "by being fans of shows that haven't been commercially released in your area, you anime fans are destroying the anime importation industry." In Reality TV, the compassionate critic will always offer unsolicited advice to the other contestants; act as a talebearer, keeping any minor disagreements stirred up to a high simmer; and, in shows where someone is voted out, will often spearhead at least one effort to vote out another player "for their own good". Compare and contrast the Caustic Critic, who also accentuates the negative, but isn't as concerned with the "tough love" angle. Compare/Contrast Constructive Criticism. If anyone else tries to criticize the critic's target, may lead to Hypocritical Heartwarming. |

Ranma ½: Ranma Saotome. Raised by a maniacal martial artist father who believes psychotic abuse is the only way to teach martial arts, Ranma grows up being very insulting and critical of Akane, his unwilling fiancee who also happens to be a highly insecure Tsundere. He never seems to understand the connection between referring to her as clumsy and unskilled and her subsequent hitting him in the head with a mallet or her Megaton Punch. Genma Saotome himself is one, in that his insults and jeers towards Ranma are often intended to make Ranma fight harder or train harder — essentially, he hopes that by making Ranma mad, Ranma will push himself harder just so he can rub it in Genma's face that Genma was wrong. It's probable that this is why Ranma recurrently tells Akane that she sucks at cooking and fighting; he's trying to make her get driven to improve the way Genma makes him want to improve by insulting him. |

Naruto: Umino Iruka acts this way towards Naruto in the first chapter; he reveals this is because he recognizes himself in his student and wants Naruto to do better, so he's always pushed him. Of course, after the first chapter, he's nice as can be, probably because he realized that Naruto didn't know why he acted like that and thought he was just a Jerkass. | |

Fakir from Princess Tutu speaks this way towards Mytho practically all the time, calling him an "idiot" and telling him what he can and can't do. It turns out that Mytho has had brushes with death in the past because of his heartless nature (well, his heartless nature and the whole 'jumping out of windows to save falling birds (that can fly)' thing), and Fakir believes that bossing him around is the only way to protect him. | |

Whateley Universe: Jobe Wilkins, at the Super Hero School Whateley Academy. He talks down to everyone, no matter how competent they may be. At the Whateley Weapons Fair (don't ask), most of his appearances are as he walks up to a student vendor and lambastes him or her for design flaws. Except for his last appearance at the Weapons Fair, where he demonstrates that he really knows what he's talking about. | |

In My Huntsman Academia, Weiss is blunt and critical of Izuku's Chronic Hero Syndrome and tendency to completely disregard his own well-being. She conditions him like a dog with a spray bottle and threatens him with harm when he overworks himself. Despite this, she means well and is appreciative of his leadership, despite wanting the position for herself. Izuku welcomes said criticism and tries to apply it whenever possible, but old habits die hard. | |

Max Christiansen (AKA Maximilian Dood) has been playing Fighting Games for decades and knows the mechanics inside and out, but is also a very humble and down-to-earth guy. He never dismisses a game as pure garbage, but instead gives it credit for what it does right and explains how to fix what it does wrong. As a result, companies like Capcom and Bandai Namco Entertainment offer him first looks at upcoming games because they trust he'll give players the honest truth about them, and when he offers suggestions about how they can improve games that are currently in development, they actually listen. | |

Vow of Nudity: In one story, the party is attacked by murderous illusions appearing as figures from their past, and Spectra's phantom takes a markedly different approach from those who attack the other party members. While the others belittled and blamed their victims for their own failures, Spectra's shows her the life she missed out on, criticizes the world for how it treated her and tells her she deserved better. While it still ends up stabbing her almost to death, its sympathetic attitude proves to be a hint about the true identity of the original trapmaker. | |

In ThunderCats (2011), The Lancer Tygra is one to his adoptive younger brother, Rebel Prince Lion-O, frequently criticizing his many deficiencies and his failure to conform to Thunderian Proud Warrior Race culture or their father's expectations. This stems from Tygra's deep resentment that as The Dutiful Son, he has no chance at the throne, while Lion-O, an irresponsible Cloudcuckoolander, has the necessary Royal Blood and status as The Chosen One. | |

Police Major "Bunny" Colvin from The Wire does a completely sincere and heartfelt version of this at one point with the hotheaded Segreant Carver who is under his command. Colvin goes into a speech comparing the increasingly harsh tactics used by the police to those of soldiers holding occupied territory, and expounds about how he feels young policemen, including Carver, are so focused on the game of making the right number of arrests, seizures, etc. that they forget the point of being police; protecting the neighborhood under their care. Carver himself evidently finds it to be Constructive Criticism, because we see in the following seasons that he takes Colvin's advice to heart, completely changing his style of being a cop, and becoming much more effective at the job. A part of Colvin's speech: | |

Guardian Acorn She is often hesitant about being too harsh on games she dislikes because she knows fully well the developers may be reading, and she hopes to inspire devs to improve rather than tear them down and berate them.

Zero Punctuation: Yahtzee Croshaw styles himself like this (in the vein of his inspiration, Charlie Brooker) when he takes the time to notice the endless accusations that he "just hates video games", retorting that he only rips on games because he sees "potential being squandered in mediocrity". Indeed, even with games he admittedly liked, he tends to focus more on the aspects he had a problem with, at least partly because that's what helps make his videos both entertaining and thought-provoking. | |

Ratatouille Colette gives Linguini (and by extension Remy), scathingly critical advice up to and including threatening to kill him if he doesn't keep his station clear. But all of the advice is on-point and she sincerely thanks him for taking the advice while declaring Linguini to be another member of the team by the end. Anton Ego is the most feared restaurant critic in Paris, who brutalizes any chef who, he feels, doesn't measure up. He ends up giving Remy's cooking a glowing review, even after learning a rat prepared it, showing that he really does appreciate great cooking that meets his high expectations. That he is a regular at Remy's new restaurant at the end shows that he's willing to stand by chefs that he believes to be great, even if said support means he's disgraced. |
