Once again, the logical fallacy is the flipping of the chessboard, these are all conversation shifting/ ending tactics couched in emotional language. If someone is called negative for being honest does it stop their statement from being accurate?
No fallacy by that name exists. I guess a red herring. But that's more of a distracting, irrelevant matter than what you mean here.

All of these would qualify under ad hominem, or poisoning the well just by response alone.
And what does that have to do with the veracity of the statement?
