"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[LianaThorne]

But its ok to be a jerk as long as their no profanity, right?

Can't control how other people act, especially online. If it bothers you enough to actually affect you mentally, report it. Otherwise, best to grow a thick skin and continue on your way.

No, what im saying is people equating others for seeing the toxic positivity as toxic themselves...

Im not toxic! You see toxicity, maybe cause you're toxic!!!"

Everybody knows this community doesn't handle criticism of any kind well, the community tends to try to shut criticism down and silence it.

Ive had people report me for messaging them, not because I broke any ingame rules, but because they took offense to what i said. And they cant get you suspended for not breaking ToS.....So why not try to make up a spurious reason, like "you messaged me and i consider that harassment, reported!"


I do think FF14 does suffer from a toxic positivity problem, where the toxicity is hidden under the veneer of welcoming and acceptance....As long as you don't disagree....
