What is toxic positivity and what are some examples of it?
In: 71
Depends, the more psychological actual scientific side of it is about the negative consequences with believing you always have to be positive and can never show dissatisfaction, eg being a pushover.
The more common parlance is in online fandoms where people will swallow everything up and praise it, such as modern Marvel or star Wars, even when it has major flaws, and will lambast everyone who criticizes it as “toxic negativity”.
The toxic part being that as long as it sells it will keep being made. So instead of taking up legit complaints they defend everything as perfect
