This is a sentiment I see a lot, especially any newcomers to the lackluster thread in general discussion.
Like I said, this is sorta true. There are always going to be people who react harshly to anyone who doesn't like what they like or vice-versa. However, there's also the problem that mere disagreement is being lumped in with trolling and toxicity. Downvotes don't tell us anything, because someone downvoting a comment because they disagree, but can see some validity to your point has their vote counted exactly the same as Chucklefart01 who just vomits "lul looks liek some1 didnt read the storie properly lololol!1!1".

I don't think that's true, either. At least I hope not. People probably feel that way because there's a few names that keep popping up in various threads repeating almost identically-worded arguments.
