Very adorable image, but I would suggest to revise it. =) I am sorry to be pedantic, but a simple flip for the reflections doesn't look very good. What I would suggest is to either use a bit of transform or redraw specific single bits (like paws) to match real version and reflection, and then to blend out the reflection, so that not the entirety of all characters is visible. Also adding some simple shine to the ice and it should look a lot more convincing without causing too much work.
If you call sensical feedback to some artwork brainrot, than you are completely lost. It's bad enough, that people either don't comment at all, or just leave the same 5-word appreciation comment without ever saying something of value. I am one of the very few, who are still actually leaving constructive feedback on other people's works. If you don't understand artist talk, why even leave a pointless reply?
If anybody thinks this, no matter if viewers are artists, they are ignorant dumbasses. I am a knowledgeable artist myself and I would love constructive criticism, but barely anybody write something these days. I try to do a better job than all those people, simply going fav and run. And knowing this artist a little bit, I don't think she'd have an ignorant stance.
While I do know, there are many artists out there sitting on a high horse. Whenever somebody shows this ugly face, I immediately stop watching. If an artist think, he's above this, then simply stay silent, but going like "how dare you question my artistic perfection", my only response could be "what is wrong with you".
Artists going against constructive criticism is already idiotic enough, but when watchers demand to shut up? That is beyond ridiculous and probably some very unhealthy fanboy-ism. Everybody can be ignorant for themselfes if they so desire, but demanding others to follow the same ignorant lead, I would simply say.... fuck off.

Alright, it's very probably your grammar. I think that's what some people are talking about when they describe something as brain-rot. Sure, it could be writing that is coherent grammatically but barely sane sounding, like retooling your argument that any unsolicited critiquing is acceptable into a thing that is easier to read, but I'm still going to hazard that 
JCPCoydog112 was being literal with the word "read" and was not referring to the subject matter.
But it was a bit of a terse, unhelpful response on their part. I would humbly offer some suggestions of my own. I imagine you will appreciatively receive them. A quick disclaimer: I am not a professional and none of my advice here or anything I write in this comment section should be taken seriously. I am, by all accounts, a well read idiot. I may be more critical of cadence and phrasing and may project my general tastes, as opposed to getting into the technicalities.

Some readers would appreciate it if you started with "This is a" or "I think this is a" before the first word, and instead of a comma, let's try an exclamation point. It's always nice to start out with a quick compliment that conveys enthusiasm for something that's been newly published. It also ends the compliment and separates it from our critiquing, which we'll be easing into. Let's start with "If I may make a few suggestions" or "Just wanted to share a few things I was noticing." Really you can just get creative with it. Next, let's end our proposition with a colon or semicolon. Honestly I enjoy using either one, but remember to capitalize your first word after a colon and to not capitalize your first word after a semicolon. The semicolon has a more natural, conversational tone, much like a comma but with more emphasis on the subject. The colon is more abrupt and strong, like a German personality.
There's no need to apologize for being a prolix pendant! We all like to share. So, let's try "I felt that an inversion of the images serving as the reflections in the ice was somewhat of a disservice to the characters. But I know you were perhaps just saving time, so this is merely my opinion, of course. Was just curious if at any point you considered hand-drawing in the reflections? Sometimes we go back to works we've completed and we may add something to them that better achieves what we set out to do."
There! Hopefully this helps. Personally I had no problem reading your original comment. You sound like you might be Mexican or French Canadian, or maybe from some country in Europe, and that English is not your first language. Regardless of that, your writing voice is serviceable. I give it a B+.

Your feedback is very appreciated and I will keep it in mind. I am honest that sometimes, my comments have been too harsh, even though well intended and it threw people off. I think that's simply a trait that I have. Sometimes I am crazy considerate, and sometimes a thought might have so much pressure behind it, that it shoots out in a blunt fashion and might not sound very nice to somebody.
The other guy is German just like me, so there is a chance, his emphasis was on how my statement read, but come on, it is not that messy, that the phrasing of my argument could be considered brainrot. So either way, the reply was rude and not helpful. And frankly, 80% of all internet comments are far harder to read, because people just keep slamming these keyboards without any punctuation.
Would I have known, how much people would lean in on this, I would have taken a bit more time to phrase it better. But comments usually don't really get replies, and I am sure the artist, who that message was directed to, very much understands, what I wanted to say. Maybe even being aware of it in the first place and she wanted to keep the workload low, but as a dedicated artist myself, I feel like it's very important to give this kind of feedback, no matter what twisted fanboy might have an issue with it. Because this artist is easily able to do a lot more than shown in this picture, so such feedback is not necessarily about trying to improve their abilities, but only to remind them, how images feel from a viewer's perspective. Because that is something that gets harder and harder as an artist, when nobody ever cares to mention these things. I never really get meaningful comments, which is a shame. But since I would want to get them, I am giving them to others too. Simple as that.

If you were just being sarcastic, I am sorry. I couldn't tell though, so it sounded honest to me. And it really annoys me, when people go like "I didn't ask for this, so you are not supposed to say anything". It's a stupid mentality, so yeah to make it very clear: If you were making fun, I do apologize. If you meant what you said, so did I.
The reflections thing is what I've long found so weird. I've seen so many times a reflection done wrong or totally lazy (in comparison to the overall quality) - particularly from the master artists with great skills of perspective, anatomy and so on. Is it a curse or something.
And what are the reactions to this comment.

I dunno what was going on here, I am just trying to be honest and helpful, and some fanboys seem to have an issue with that..... Haven't experienced it for the first time.
I am pretty sure, this artist here isn't lazy, but that this project was just intended to be finished in a timely manner. Because the background is also not the most detailed one (though it's still a very lovely kind of simplicity). And fully drawing several characters in an additional angle, that is also very tricky, isn't always feasable. That is why I made these suggestions.
I personally, whenever I go for a motive with reflections, I draw the reflection. Because as a perfectionist, it either has to look right, or I am not gonna bother with investing the time at all.
