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.

nostr:npub1cmgqvz7xr07euwkum3mjghjqcu4d3k2fcyf6g4uwwe5ggnd6fetq0wrzd2 I would understand (and agree with) this if there would be context, ie. "be kind" would be a patronizing reply to someone.

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...

Btw, I've gotten really harsh criticism for just saying "Be kind"... that won't stop me from saying it. We can always be kind and I can say "be kind" out of kindness. Encouraging to kindness is not rudeness and I can't wrap my head around it why would it be anything else than focusing on the positive side of things.

There are always people who focus on negativity, pessimism and hate. Whatever hits me, I choose to smile. #Positivity #Kindness #Attitude

nostr:npub1cmgqvz7xr07euwkum3mjghjqcu4d3k2fcyf6g4uwwe5ggnd6fetq0wrzd2 out of curiosity, what's been the argument for saying "be kind" to be rude?
