"realism" doesn't really play a huge part in contest judging....and very few people model for contests.
The hostility comes into play when other people don't conform to your perception of "realism" and you are so weak willed that you see that as an attack upon yourself. You buy XXX new kit and you are delirious about it...."whoo hoo!!"
You fondle the plastic bits for a while, then biddy-bop over to the ol' HyperScale to express your happiness....only to find that some guy has gotten there ahead of you....and isn't as impressed with your new kit as you are....in fact, he sorta hates it looks like.
How can that be? I mean, he's "bashing" something that has brought joy and light into your life. You now feel less joyful....and somebody has to pay for that, so off we go...
Or, one guy just can't figure out how so many people can be swooning over this model that has accentuated panel lines and faded paint....it looks like a demented caricature of an airplane....NO airplane ever looked like that! You can't even SEE panel lines on the real thing more than 2 feet away.....so off we go...
