What is toxic positivity and what are some examples of it?
In: 71
It comes in many shapes, sizes, and examples, but the general idea is willfully choosing to only focus on the positives of a situation while ignoring the negative. This is not simply being optimistic but turns to antagonistic behavior such as in specific niches or communities based around a Fandom where anything but positivity about the topic is met with anger or arguing against it
Varying degrees and it isnt always malicious as far as intent, but it’s considered toxic as it’s forced positivity in a way that is trying to mask or ignore negativity.
