    This is super real, but I feel like this will probably not be well receieved on Lemmy.

    Also, video unrelated?

    EDIT: OP fixed the video link, it initially linked to a MoistCritikal video about the guy that was using bots to earn money on Spotify.

      Toxic Positivity is a phrase that doesn’t refer to gamers online behavior in game, but rather the way that some will violently defend a product or company from any criticism like they’re shilling. Like how gaming media and online forums were trying to villanize the people criticizing Concord before that spectacularly failed.

      Its like you aren’t allowed to say something that isn’t positive about games anymore (not even negative, even neutral comments are taken as “negative” and must be silenced at all costs). I mean, certain games like Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, etc.

      Kinda like how the average Lemmy user acts with Linux.
