I’m actually quite angry at this community right now. And I feel like I have to say this…
*Please note that this is not an attack towards anybody. It’s something that I feel like must be said and something that seriously needs to calm down*
So I heard that PMA has been praised to the point that it’s been forced now. People, you need to know that yelling PMA and forcing it upon others isn’t ok. It’s also not about being happy 24/7. Jack has stated this multiple times already and the constant over praise has caused people to leave the community. We’re supposed to be a nice and loving community but forcing something as important isn’t a good thing to do.
You can praise PMA but don’t blow it so much. This kind of behaviour makes the community look like it’s trying too hard to be positive.
I know that this movement has helped us a lot but it’s never ok to force it upon someone. We’re not perfect. If we had PMA all the time life would be easy. But guess what? It’s not.
Please, tone down on the PMA a little. Don’t force it on others if they’re sad. If they’re not having a good day, talk to them calmly. If they’re not getting better and need to be alone, let them.
These actions makes this community look like something it’s not and this is something Jack doesn’t want. We don’t want to become another toxic community that is know to force things on people.
Yes we all love positive mental attitude but when forcing it, it sounds like we don’t give a fuck about it .
We’ve already made enough mistakes as it is this year and we shouldn’t make PMA sound like something that should be forced upon others. We are allowed to have bad days, having PMA is not a huge rule that must be followed.
PMA, especially here on tumblr has gotten quite spammy. And I respect those who wish to distance themselves from the community for a while. It’s always good to take those breaks when things become overwhelming and I’ve done it myself. When I came back things were better for me.
So please for the love of all that is good, try and tone down the PMA and don’t force it on people. Don’t spam it all over the place. If you want to spread positivity, do it in a way that doesn’t sound like you’re spamming. It makes things much better for this community and would actually feel like we care about it.
Again this is not an attack towards anybody. It’s something that needed to be addressed ASAP. Thank you
