Your AAing needs improvement, i suggest you seek a tutorial. The ones by St0ven should really help. Quite alot of dollers don't know what AAing is, or just won't use it. Well, why don't you step ahead of the crowd and make something more than just a clothing stickon.
You must realise you seem to be talking about those who do not take up most of the main active members here. You're talking about the n00bs we find very hard to moderate. We do tell people to expand on why they think something sucks. If you find a bad comment, don't blame the entire website and it's members, report the comment! That's why we call ourselves a community.
If you don't like PJ's critisism, you can't go wrong with Pixelopolis'. The critisism you'll get there is top notch.
when i was like, 10, i used to get offended at comments that gave no objection or meaning. why? because i was young and niave. Now, i don't care because there is no point in it. people will always say what they want to say, and you have no power to "open their eyes" or make a difference.
when i started off at pixel art i truly sucked. i had no idea how to shade or the effects of light. since joining several communities just like pixeljoint, i have learned multitudes. i learned from the people who said my work sucked. people don't have to be nice when critiquing you work. it's not their job. mean or not, you need to listen.
so then, about your piece:
OMG KAWAII~~ xD ^_^
Bye!
Three Quotes: 
On Pixel Art: "The price one pays for pursuing any profession, or calling, is an intimate knowledge of it's ugly side". James Baldwin, American author (1924-1987)
On Individual(s) Art: "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those that wander are lost". J.R.R.Tolkien (eternal)
On Critique: "Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish". Anne Bradstreet, American poet (1612-1672)
I'm quite offended at your untrue and ignorant description of Pixel Joint. Everyday I, and everyone else here, comment on pieces of pixel art in a way that will help the artist improve the piece and their skill and therefore sometimes a comment will consist of more than just "omg this is so cool". It seems like you can't get your head around the fact that the best comment is one which is insightful and not just complimentary. So often I try to help an artist by giving them advice on how to improve a piece; I could just go and do something else with my time instead because it doesn't befenit myself to spend 15 minutes pouring over/editing someone elses pixel-art in an attempt to help them improve their understand of pixel art. But I do it anyway, because I like to see others improve, and so does everyone else here at Pixel Joint. In fact I'm going to work on an animation by Neatpuppy which will probably take 30 minutes to a couple of hours; and people do this kind of stuff on PJ all the time, so you can see how what you've said about us is massively ignorant and it upsets me when someone develops the blinded/skewed view which you now have.
As for the doll issue; I just think that the intrinsic qualities of pixel art are totally lost on, not all, but most dollists. For example, I'm looking at the text on this piece right now and I would bet my arms and legs that it was typed in using an automated text function. It's reasons like this which I think cause such a rift between pixel-artists and dollists.
I don't mean to anger you with anthing I've said, I am just surprised that you have formed this view of Pixel Joint.
Btw, I laughed so hard when I read you saying "gosh darn it"
"Now obviously I dont mean all of you, and I know that at least a handfull (and probably more!) of you do not apply to this. In fact its probably a minority that does.But it is the minority that makes up the main bulk of this community"
First, if its a minority, why make such a fuss?
Second, since when is a minority the main bulk of anywhere?
And also, have you ever posted in the WIP forum or seen the C+C given there? That and the Joint forum is like the heart and the center of the good C+C, the galeries are to display complete and "polished" work, and even there people gets good critisism to edit the work later. I don't understand why do you say "poor critiqueing skills" when often a thread lasts a lot of pages of pure c+c.
When people here say this is not pixelart, it's because tools were used for the shading or it's just a color reduced photo. I think either you are making a storm in a glass of water, or as ThereIsNoCure sayd, you just wanted attention :/
I'd like to point out in what should be my last comment on this situation that:
This rant was insulting. I'll quote. "My word you guys are dense."
It offered poor critiques, which seemed "VERY closed minded", failed to follow the guidelines: "if you dont have something nice to say, dont say anything at all.". It also was overly negative without any suggestions for improvement, simply statements of that which is wrong. Last time I checked, that was poor C&C.
You've put me in a bad mood, and I'm a reasonable guy to work with. I very much don't appreciate an attack on something I hold dear, especially when it is for the most part unfair and potentially fueled by issues outside those mentioned. Personal issues got you down? Try not to spit fire at a group of people that will throw it right back. Just aint wise, hon.
If you care to further discuss, feel free to email me at Gregorio_Beek@hotmail.com. I kinda want to see how you see things. I hate having a one-sided view.
We bicker about what is pixelart because there is no set definition, and we have have different minds. I know you are use to a bunch of midless zombie dollers who only do 1/3 of the work required, but we do all the work here.
So don't let the virtual door hit you in your big virtual ass on the way out... Much love, Ensellitis
P.s. You need to dither that dress more, and AA that text. I give it a 4/9
This ain't a utopian society, but neither is it a hellhole. People give their opinions, and what more could an artist ask for? I mean, is not the idea of art to please people visually? If that is the case, then it shouldn't matter who says what, as long as they're saying what they believe to be true.
I'll agree with you that some comments are complete shit, but call them out when you recieve them. Ask for an elaborated criticism. Don't whine that everyone sucks at C&C, because that ain't the case, and if you truly believe it is, you're sadly mistaken.
You're welcome to leave; I'd not known of your existence before this, but don't bring the house down with you, or even make an attempt to. Stay around and improve it with your presence or haul out and stay out without vandalizing the walls on your exit.
Emo. "I am aware that this will probably get alot of nasty comments" : such expectations lead me to believe the attention may play a role in this piece and your leaving. Go out with a bang atleast, not a doll. How anticlimatic.

Omgwtfboonkthxbye! to express my anger.
Now then; you posted this 6 months after you joined. This meaning the community wasn't that bad, I wouldn't stick around THAT long. Hell, if PJ-members acted the way you describe them I wouldn't even bother staying here for a week.
Nextly, not all pieces get viewed by everyone when you post them in the gallery, it's hard to see all without some that escape the eye. This means not all of the more expierences people can critisize your work if there is anything to critisize, so you'll end up getting comments from 10-year olds that still watch Pokémon. 'lollol dat sux big tim' - 'i dont liek it1'.
If this is not the case and you are critisized by the 'right' people you just can't stand critism. I read all comments of the pieces I view and I've never seen one of them missbehave.Ok, they might get a little rougher time by time but they're still friendly ('I think your lineart sucks dude, you might want to... I do like the idea. Keep it up.')
"Poor critism"?! I've looked your your gallery just now. They all have plenty of comments so I'd say the less critism you get the better.
I feel much better now.
