That is my poor attempt at mirroring the famous snaky quote and that part “where’s toxic positivity when you need it?” is nothing serious. I trolled at that part and I admit it’s inappropriate

So no. Both sides are problematic, and we shouldn't want to have "a counter to X". Because guess what, Toxic Negativity is, in turn, a counter to Toxic Positivity. Neither side wins, everyone just gets tired.
No one wins, and I agree with you. But it’s certainly more painful to be on the negativity side because of doom and gloom. Though I do feel the other side is rather lonely on this very forum when the majority of the threads and their replies are negative along with the number of likes attached to each of them. If Reddit downvote has any meaning, I’m sure those under the banner of “constructive criticism “ would surely find a lot of warmth here. Yet we act as if toxic positivity is the biggest issue in official forum, which to my biased and limited observation, isn’t.
