    What you said is true on some levels, but negativity serves a purpose, and the people trying to shut down all negativity are just as bad, if not worse in some cases. When you don't have negativity, sure it makes some people happy in the short term, but the product we all love ultimately stagnates, decays, then dies. That's the future of this game as it is. Nothing improves because the only thing out there are posts about how great everything is. If you have an issue with the game, you can't express that on places like Reddit without the fear of being downvoted so much that your post never sees the light of day, and it's not unfounded.

    People don't say negative things because they want to see the game crash and burn, they say them because they care. Some of us have noticed serious flaws in the game, and we're pointing them out so they can get fixed. We're telling you that there's a weakness in the Titanic, and we're all on course for a head-on collision with the iceberg, but the crew labels us lunatics and keeps forging ahead.

    People are getting sick of being told that their opinion doesn't matter if it's negative or that they're not welcome in the community if they're not overly positive. The toxic positivity crowd has been trying to bully 'negative' people into submission, hoping that if they bully people enough, they'll just leave, and they can have their perfect little utopia. I've seen it happen all over the official forums. I've even seen some people that have gone off the deep end, abandoning all sense of logic in trying to discredit anyone with dissenting opinions, and I can name their usernames. And you want to tell me that the negative people are bullies? Spare me.

    If you want an example, a person named Lyth recently tried to rally the forums against two users who they claimed were alts of the same person because the two people shared a similar opinion and were both male Hyur. Why? Because they dared question the story of Endwalker. They dared be dissatisfied with how that story ended the 10 year arc.
