No one "hates" anybody for stretching quickly. That would be so ridiculous! I think a lot of people just assume that correcting someone is a negative thing, or that the person giving the advice thinks they're superior or something. I don't know... The only thing I actually have a problem with is when people are like "Well I stretched three sizes every other day and my ears are perfect so you're stupid!" and then go tell everyone else they'll be fine if they do the same thing. Because I know for a fact that that's not true... I couldn't even stretch from 1G to 0G after three months so yeah, everyone's totally different.
Anyway, your lobes look nice. You're lucky you didn't have any problems!

I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH. My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
I think it's safe to say I "hate" people that are irresponsible with stretching. It gives it a bad name and just makes it look stupid and reckless. Then they go on and tell everyone they know "how to stretch"
Although from what I can see, your ears do look fine. Just like everything else though, you don't know the entire truth until it's naked.
I know what you mean, the stubborn ones who just won't take advice and try to go as big as possible as quick as they can are pretty annoying and frustrating. I just think it's silly when people think giving advice on stretching means you're attacking somebody as a person.
Before I started stretching I planned on piercing my own ears and ordering a set of steel pinchers from 14G-2G and using those every couple weeks. But then people gave me advice and I learned. Everybody has to start somewhere!
Anyway, I'll stop rambling.

Yay thanks;)
And trust me my ear naked is a smooth perfect hole, without any tissue scar or pain when i stretch, the most pain I feel is like a little sting for 2 seconds that feels amazing hahah.
my friends are also surprised
The reason I stretched faster than usual is because my ears seriously heal fucking quiiiiick, I've been smarter about stretching after 00 I'm only stretching every 2-3 weeks with steel single flares and tape (not black tape the actual tape you're supposed to use that doesn't have adhesive)
and I don't give people dumb advice like others I actually tell them to take their time but if they feel like they're ready to go up then they can.
