How many movies, TV shows, game studios, and assorted media have catastrophically failed because Toxic Positivity™ spread like a pathogen, with not one person willing to give "hurtful" criticism?
Resulting in the actors (or game devs) being surrounded by women smiling through clenched teeth saying what a wuuuuunnnderful job they did, constantly trying to one-up each other to give the higher praise (therefore proving THEY are even MORE supportive than the person next to them, hence a better person)?

OHHHH boi. I think...most of western ones? All the ones where it isn't a "men's club" as journos would call it, where there's a big part of women there. You cannot hurt their fee fees so you cannot be critical of their work.

The press interviews for Wicked were weird as fuck. I can't believe those people are real and walk on the same planet as I do.
