judgemental
Quick to condemn
Judgemental means inclined to make harsh or critical evaluations of others, often based on limited information or rigid standards: She's so judgemental about how other people raise their kids.
The word typically carries negative connotations—being judgemental suggests unfair criticism rather than thoughtful assessment.
Also spelled judgmental.
