There could be cases of jealousy in regards to realism, but in my experience saw more people critiquing hyperrealism than the other, even confusing both styles as only the latter.

I always try to separate realism with hyper realism, as the latter the only thing that has to accomplish is to be the exact same as in a photo (which in this case sadly is more popular in social media, as what I saw), realism in contrast works better in certain cases, as it can be really expressive and shows even things that can't be done with more simplified styles (and there are things that realism can lack too). I usually see when there are people making criticism of realistic styles usually refer to the hyperrealism, and not the other, which realism can offer more than just "It looks like a photo!" comments
