The entire thread is really quite...something. You wouldn't think a (very stupid) complaint about anime translation would devolve into a transphobic rant featuring Nazi apologia, but here we are.

I dislike these people, in a way that I find hard to quantify.

Is there a term for someone who is optimistic as a weapon to hurt others with?

I think that's literally called toxic optimism/positivity.

Demanding forced outward optimism in order to cover up actual bad things, therefore meaning being sad or angry is your fault because you're supposed to be happy regardless of what happens

Thank you.

As a depressed person part of me gets kind of irritated seeing people constantly trying to go "everything is fine, forever shut up about injustice, it will eventually go away". The idea that it's just something about humans that we are always going to have something about us that will prevent or will cause dystopia or utopia is utterly aggravating.

It's "lol you have a beard". It's meant to imply (I believe) that the only people who would defend trans folks are men with beards because [insert brain worm reasoning here]

A lot of people who love the idea of "toxic positivity" are usually ones who have never had to work and/or live in an environment where you have to be "on" 24/7. I would rather stick needles under my fingernails than having to force positivity to avoid being fired again.

I mean if people are going to assume I'm pro trans rights because i have a beard that's certainly better than assuming I'm some alt right hypermasc weirdo or simply too lazy to shave which is what i sometimes worry about (the latter is true but unflattering)

I have a beard because a) it balances out my enormous lockdown hair and makes me look less like a mushroom, and b) it makes me look a bit like Tsar Nikolai II, God-ordained father of all Russians and the only legitimate ruler east of the Danube.

My moustache, however, is for trans rights.

There's a reason that Dilbert is one of the very few strips that's outright banned from the newspaper comic strip thread.

No, just if anyone with a beard in their pfp criticized him he'd just say that because of "the woke stasi"

I don't want to get too involved here, and it's obvious that the Actual White Nationalist was an idiot, but the idea that all pro localisation is great and they never gently caress up is Not Great. If nothing else because the pay-rates on anime/manga are so low that you really only get people who either can't get better paying gigs or people who are weebs doing it.
