FF14 and toxic positivity

[MaxCarnage]

Why everything that goes against the popular opinion is brushed off as nothing more than low quality bait is beyond me. I understand that this guy and his many alts do post troll threads. But there are also times where he does have serious conversations.

Whether you like it or not, toxic positivety is very much real and quite prevalent from my own experiences in game.

I literally said the same thing lol you worded it WAY more eloquently than I ever could

anyway I think that's just a growing problem with a lot of communities (marvel movies, star wars, wow, ect). it's seen as an attack on their interests so getting defensive and deflecting criticism is bound to happen.

I think the worst part for me is the emotional manipulation that happens at times, people bring up Soken having cancer or the devs going through a hard time during COVID and fans being terrible to them as a way to deflect criticism, which is just awful imo. reddit is pretty bad for this with people not being totally happy with EW especially

I couldn't agree more. Any criticism for anything lately is met with harsh responses or people bring up irrelevant things like Soken having cancer or that we should be grateful we are getting anything. Uh...we're paying for this game and we have a right to address concerns, provide feedback, and state our opinions. Some fans are just completely defensive and extremely aggressive to any criticism which deep down inside they probably know is true. We live in sad times in all fan communities right now (especially Star Wars as you mentioned).

Some one that was posting pictures of ice cream earlier likes to remind everyone that this is not WoW and we don't need moar raids, if you bring up that this game lacks content.

This is just every fandom these days. People are so shallow that they base their entire existence on the one product they like and every shred of criticism against said product is a personal insult to them. There's a reason why the word "fan" comes from the word "fanatic". This is something these people don't understand, people criticize because they want the things they like to be better. I love this game and yet there's so many things about it that could be done better. If people didn't care they wouldn't waste their time voicing criticism and hoping for improvement, they'd just move on.

Neat, you learn something new every day!

Why I prefer the term 'enjoyer'.

When someone spends so much time "crying wolf" it's no surprise that people stop taking them seriously. I'm one of them.
