People who say shit like "positive vibes only" are such a red flag to me because they expect you to be happy all the time regardless of circumstance or subject and like breh I'm not 'negative' for discussing sociopolitical issues that do in fact have roots in systemic violence that's just how the world works and your positive vibes ass prefers toxic positivity to reality. The mentality that you're either happy all the time about everything or you have 'negative' vibes is not just utterly braindead, it also often seems to serve the purpose of protecting the person who has that mentality from basically any negative reaction to their privilege, or even if it's not an ism thing that 'positive vibes only' attitude seems to be a way to avoid any discussion at all of the consequences of that person's actions. Can't do that, it's ~negative~ rather than like. A normal function of being alive, experiencing and sometimes causing negative emotions.
