How do we deal with the toxic positivity problem in gaming?

Attached: toxic positivity.png (1080x1080, 476.64K)

It's a much bigger issue than you think.

I've learned the only winning move is to not play. Just don't speak to anyone. Be completely silent. No one cares what you have to say, they're just talking with their friends on discord, you're just another NPC in their game.

Sometimes failure is really not an option, though.

"I understand your frustration"

Don't be an asshole, you must add "How can I serve you, my liege?" at the end to avoid hurting my feelings.

"Is nice to express your feelings :D"

Quit being a little bitch. Go practice vs the ai and perfect the basics. Do some research to help you improve.
People will be less likely to shit on you if you put some effort into improving yourself.

> Words for pussies

>toxic positivity
People are being paid to come up with this shit

"Anger leads to the Dark Side!"

>several years ago people were calling eachother faggots and telling everyone to kill themselves over small shit like missing a shot
>now you can't even raise your voice without being locked out of your purchase
How in the fuck are generations getting worse? my gen is fucking useless but you kids make my gen look like fucking Chad "Alpha" McBeefcake Bitchfucker The Third.

the issue is that people DO use the things on the left as excuses so when people with mental health issues actually do need to say it, people don't take them seriously because gayniggers are saying AVOID TOXIC POSITIVITY ALWAYS BE ACCOMMODATING
hell my therapist told me part of getting better is keeping from absolutely decapitating my tiny sense of self every time I do shit wrong but at the same time she recognizes that it's GOOD to be able to perceive and digest my failures instead of just trying to disregard them
tl;dr OP's a fag

It's totally a thing in art critique
I cannot properly express how much I do not want to hear "looks good!" when I post something that I want critiqued.

If somebody complain about me with this "hurr toxic positivity" crap, I will straight up tell him to go fuck himself and consider suicide.

Imagine being this unpolite with a person who is trying to give you support. This is already more than you deserve.

yeah, but you know that OP's pic has nothing to do with art critique and rather it as a whole, which is kinda dumb
I fully agree with you on the point that art needs legit criticism, but I think a lot of people are in weird spots from having no artist friends, no actual idea how to critique, or having friends that get super fucking moody or shitty when they DO offer critique and it's exhausting when they just turn into a chorus of "Wow nice!" and that's it

>yeah, but you know that OP's pic has nothing to do with art critique and rather it as a whole, which is kinda dumb
okay yeah you're right

i'm not sure telling him it won't help actually helps either.
in my experience, you just have to lead by example, and don't worry if others do the same, and eventually others will catch on.
it's annoying but i find critiquing others' behavior in many cases just causes friction and means they are actually less open to acting differently, even if you're right

Just say you fucking want constructive criticism, not beg people to not say toxic positivity things

>left: honesty
>right: bullshit
ok. got it

I don't know about "toxic positivity" but the dialogue on the right seems a lot more productive, even saying those things to yourself would be more helpful to your general mental state.

>say bad things
"Toxic negativity"

>say good things
"Toxic positivity"

And that's why I only play PvP games. Better to stomp the faggots than to help them, cooperation is 4f4gg0t5.

Don't ruin it for me. It's the only way I can reliably troll without getting banned these days.

This. You can make people seeth even with compliments if you know how to play the cards right. You can do it even with pre-set messages.

As a clinically depressed person, it makes me want to die even more so when people try to accommodate my feelings. People who want to be babied and tell others they're "depressed" to do it are in terrible need of a good eye-opener.

i would add to what you guys are saying as a fellow artist, sometimes it's not easy to critique a single art piece, it can lead to nitpicking without knowing exactly what the artist is going for.
i find critique is more productive when you show a range of your work instead of just one piece.
when looking at a single piece, you can run into flukes or one-time problems, and focus can be put on really small things.
but if you show a lot of your work, the person gets to see patterns in how you work, larger-scale problems of your perception, recurring issues. they also get a better sense of the direction you're trying to go. not just things to fix in single pieces, but things to focus on in your artistic development.
anyway it's kinda unrelated but yeah...

Being mean to people makes me feel bad.

People are trying to help because they care about you, and you come up with that gay shit. They like you too much to realize you are a fucking asshole who think others are responsible for you being a defective person, who reacts negatively to positive reinforcement. You ask for consideration from others when you have none, or else you would be glad that at least there are people in your life that care about you. You should just kill yourself and let them live free from your bullshit, you talking burden.

Toxic is absolutely meaningless now because thin-skinned faggots keep undermining it.

>"Your complementary handjob milord"

I try to be genuinely positive and helpful in online games and make people laugh. It feels good.
But I must admit it's also satisfying when people get mad because of it.

Fuck of with this thread 14th time this week, faggot.

It's really fun to troll people with positivity.

>fucking asshole who think others are responsible for you being a defective person
Where did you even get that? Did you even understand my post, user? I don't like it when people think they need to avoid toxic positivity for my sake because I DON'T like feeling like a burden. I can't say I'm not an asshole, but I'm the one ruining my life, not anyone else. I'm not sure what you think you're trying to achieve here, but you might wanna check to see if you have a habit of projecting in the past, buddy.

I miss the old times where online games were avoided by special snowflakes

I just want to make you feel bad. You really should kill yourself, m8

Instead of saying "GGEZ", which is banned, one should strive to say N&IGGERS

I hate bullshit like this. I am willing to give some leeway to people for beginner's mistakes, but if they have plenty of time spent in the game and still are god-awful then I deserve the right to tear them a new one for being a shitter.

Cheer up user, you are doing great!, do you need me to help you in any way? I could be your friend online if that makes you happy.

They're scraping the fucking bottom in search for new ways to be offended, aren't they?
Victim points culture is a mental disease.

See, the truth is fantastic, isn't it? But I already feel like dirt on a daily basis, so you'll have to try something else to get anywhere.

Okay, have a great day my man.

And yet you're still here.

No thanks, I'm not good with paying attention to friends.

>>that right column
There should be a fine line between being supportive and coddling.

faggots that didnt contribute to the win or loss and say gg at the end of the match should die

Don't be afraid user, I will cure that fake sickness of you once and for all.

The problem is that whole humanity got pussified beyond belief and I honestly think there is no escape anymore. Everybody is a fragile shit now that gets triggered by everything and reports everybody and the only thing you can do is avoiding social spaces altogether.

>talking in online games
sorry I'm too busy trying to actually play the game, something that im sure is completely foreign to you retards.
