critic
The word "critic" can be used in two very different ways. In a professional sense, it refers to someone whose job is to analyze art or media, regardless of whether they like it or not. In a general sense, it often describes someone who finds fault or complains about something. When you call someone a "critic" in this context, it usually suggests they are being negative.

KAREN WHY IS MRS HIGGINS BEING SUCH A CRITIC ABOUT YOUR BROWNIES
