What in God's holy name is toxic positivity and how did it get so popular?
Alright, let's start first with the idea of comedy...and shit comedians.
Here is kinda where it first started.
Racism, Misogyny, transphobia, anti-semitism, homophobia.
Those jokes just aren't funny!
And yet the comedians love to complain that people cannot take a joke when their idea of a joke is so awful and rude.
Rather than admit they're wrong, easier for the hateful people to claim its not their fault, and that their audience is awful.
Do you know what I call criticism?
I call it being helpful in offering feedback on improvement while also being respectful.
Unfortunately, that's not how critics operate.
They go more along the lines of
So basically, the grand majority of critics, such as fatmanfalling, judgmental critter, twiins iink, and of course the RWDE Community.
They just want to hate, or at least corrupt RWBY into their fetishized image.
But they can't allow others to see what they're doing as being bad.
They can't allow people to see that they truly hate a show and its writers...they want to be seen as victims.
Its easier to get people to hate what you hate, if you claim to be a victim of the show and its fandom.
So the critics demand the right of criticism over all us.
It does not matter how nasty and deceitful their words are. "Freedom of speech and opinion".
Even if they're being hateful and dishonest, the claim that they're being oppressed by others who cannot take criticism is very catchy on social media.
And that's the core belief behind the accusations of toxic positivity.
The belief that no matter how nasty or lying you are, you are within your rights to do so, and the people opposing you for such beliefs are trying to silence you because you cannot take criticism or different opinions.
Unfortunately, due to so many youtubers willing to defend the worst haters in the show, and promote hate against men and women defending the show?
It is sadly far easier to hate the show and the fandom based on the rampant misinformation.
its why hbomberguy made a 2.5 hour video of lies. Anyone who does 10 minutes of google search will see that Harris was lying the whole time.
But would you rather spend 10 minutes trying to find truth? Or would you rather watch some bald british dude ranting and hating for 2.5 hours?
Most people prefer to hate. You do not see people making videos defending RWBY, though they are there. You do not see people making videos defending legend of korra. You do not see people making videos defending She-Hulk.
No , you only see videos hating them. And the moment people who like all of those shows stand up, the youtubers immediately call upon their followers and demand harassment of the defenders.
"Monty's vision"....You can look to Monty's Tweets as to what he said about RWBY...but not a single RWBY Critic aka RWDE will EVER bring up those quotes...
They'd much rather put words in a dead man's mouth, similar to how Christians love to do so with their prophet.
Both dead men were very progressive, yet the "vision" people will never respect that
At the end of the day, these are the critics.
They have this religious hatred towards rwby and its fnadom
Clearly the RWDE community can't be at fault, right?
As TheFloofArtist was putting it.
Imagine making gore and snuff art to hate on women?
Imagine making edits targeting LGBT Women?
Denying that what one does is hateful or malicious, claiming to be a victim.
Its a lot like how Bullies in the school system shame people for standing up against them, and teachers punish not the bullies, oh no, but the bullies' victims.
And this sadly, is the problem.
Toxic positivity...is basically a term used by people who hate on a show and its fandom...as a means of defense against those who disagree with them, and as an intended tool of validation of their hate.
For Gods Sake, RWBY is a cartoon!
Can we stop acting as if RWBY is some crime against humanity just because the villains are straight white males and the protagonists are LGBT-coded females?
