I wish I'd remember that conversation better so I could look for it.

Terms:

- Tone policing

- Toxic positivity

The argument also focuses on entitlement. Like if you are not part of the harassed minority, you can't say "be kind" as it's understood as "don't be angry about the things you have suffered from" etc.

Generic "be kind" is hard to find tone policing or toxic positivity in my opinion. But then again, I honestly think kindness is our superpower...
