Speaking as one who has been a member of many art communities, it’s all about delivery. “This art is bad” isn’t helpful to anyone because it doesn’t explain why. In that way, that particular comment would be bad because it’s so vague it’s pretty much useless. What part of the drawing looks like it needs improving? The face, legs, arms, does the background look off? Even that is more useful than “it’s bad”.
In any given crowd, there are also always some people who cannot criticize a thing without also insulting it (rule 0). It’s entirely possible to strongly criticize a thing while being very civil.
