Part 3/11:

One of the most destructive forces accelerating this problem is toxic positivity. Used as a tool to suppress critique and control the emotional climate of communities, it paints all criticism as negativity or hating, rather than as valid feedback. When players voice legitimate concerns—like lacking content, bugs, or broken features—they are dismissed as "negative," "haters," or "toxic." This creates an environment where honest feedback is discouraged, and communities become echo chambers of blind support.
