So what you're saying is that you're going to ignore honest critique trying to help you become a better, more widely known foundry author by fixing what several people believe to be issues with your story, in preference of only listening to these five people who like the mission?

We aren't 'demanding' anything. That you think we are is sending me, a teacher with serious training in seeing these sorts of mechanisms, a clear signal that you're becoming extremely defensive. We. Are trying. To HELP.

A Renaissance Artist typically refers to a type of person who is extremely skilled and talented in a variety of arts, sciences, and humanities. This is also referred to as a Renaissance Man. Leonardo daVinci is the most famous, though Issac Asimov, Albert Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin would also fit the role.

So what are they, a conspiracy of Gallery Directors?
A professional painter paints rooms a single color.
An artist, if he's good enough, can paint hope. It's a form of communication. To say that art has no practical use in society is to both disavow everything that humans are as social creatures, and to in a broad stroke render the work of Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Van Gogh, Picasso, Clemens, Poe, Kipling, and all other authors and painters, sculptors and actors as hacks.
Incidentally, Call of Cthulu is a work of art. Your foundry mission is, arguably, a work of art.
We're trying to help you grow, to gain in skill by taking our responses to make your work better through critique.
