This attitude is a blight upon modern society because no one has enough guts to deal with problems like adults and sit down to discuss problems.
When it comes to people being passive aggressive, that's likely a learned a behavior that has been part of said person's character for a long time. In my opinion, lifting restrictions on toxic behavior won't make an indirect person become direct. To me, when people are passive aggressive, it's best not to engage them. Give them the gift of missing you by not doing content with them and not chatting with them any more. You can also call them out on their behavior without being toxic.
