If you think gamers are too positive you’ve never played an online game in you life cx
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.
Negative comments are fine but players are too black and white, they will say a game is “trash” because they don’t like one thing about it. Often they haven’t even played it. I think too many gamers are overwhelmed by choice or just spoiled.
I want to live in a world where that is a problem worth making videos and writing essays. I guess some people are too bored.

Understandable🐕that definitely is a problem, I wasn’t sure what op was talking about since the post seems to have the wrong video attached
If you watched the video you’d know your comment is completely misplaced.
When I made that comment the post had the wrong video linked
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.
I feel like this problem might be somewhat endemic to the US?
In my experience, US culture in general is a lot more positive about everything. Like, if someone from the US is not praising the living shit out of something, that means they didn’t like it.
Whereas here in Germany, it’s usually the other way around. If you don’t find anything to grumble about, that’s the highest form of praise.
Obviously, US culture isn’t one massive blob, the extremely positive folks are probably just those I notice the most, but maybe that’s also what the video author is fed up with.Well, and then people from the US tend to also be a lot more positive about companies in general, presumably a remainder from Cold War propaganda. The journalists/entertainers from Germany and the UK that I watch, do criticize games quite directly…
What’s with all the antisemitic dog whistles on screen whenever he’s talking about people fawning over shitty games?
