Eventually, it stops being about the movie and becomes a competition to see who can hate it the hardest. You can dislike a movie without exaggerating every flaw or attacking anyone who has something positive to say.

The most interesting thing about the Toxic discourse isn’t whether the movie is good or bad. It’s how people seem determined to intensify the hate. “I didn’t like the movie” isn’t enough anymore. You have to completely destroy it.
Someone praises one aspect? “Paid PR.”
Mixed review? “Playing safe.”
Doesn’t completely trash it? “Bro got paid.”
Social media rewards extreme negativity, so people keep one-upping each other.
