7.0 News from Reddit.

Nobody is being told to leave (at least not from where Ive looked), quite the opposite; you just told people ""Go watch Marvel if you want low-brow humor and happy vibes all day long."" So...whos the one telling people to leave?

Again, one is telling people that if they want Marvel to go watch Marvel, and that FFXIV shouldn't try to be something it isn't. The other is telling people that FFXIV should completely alter itself and be Marvel and if you don't like it, leave because you're not welcome anymore. The former is asking that you don't try and change FFXIV when you could instead consume products that fit what you want better. The latter is coming into a pre-existing community and trying to corrupt it into something completely different because you don't care enough about the game or its community to leave it alone and consume something else. There is a big difference between those. It's not hard to understand unless you don't want to. Let FFXIV be FFXIV. FFXIV is not Marvel.

And whenever someone has a minor critique of the game and makes a thread on it, within two pages they already get comments telling them to leave if they don't like the new direction of the game. (And this is on the Official Forums, a place that is supposedly a negative echo chamber compared to the positive echo chambers that are Reddit and Twitter, so I wonder how bad it must be over there) So yes, we are indeed approaching the 'get out if you don't like what the game has mutated into' stage of the invasion cycle.
