FF14 and toxic positivity

[Padudu]

From what I see people pointing out faults are often unreasonably harsh and confrontational in their wording. And it's little surprise that gets some pushback. But I've never seen someone told to shut up when they are fair and polite in their critique.

There was a critique about the lameness of EW characters some weeks ago, it wasn't provocative and it was rather fleshed out, and one immediate response was a "sorry that you had to admit your terrible opinions in public" or some such. Heck in this? thread I think there's a poster who comes out of nowhere that people should appreciate the MSQ because Soken has cancer and the EW writer has received awards, unironically at that. So yeah it does happen even on the forums at times, reddit especially can be like that as well.
