    The first kind of negativity contributes very little to any sort of discussion other than to be inflammatory

    Yet here we are, having a discussion about it. Eventually there will be something low effort, and it will be called low effort, that’s not inflammatory. Negativity is not abuse.

    it’s shitty to complain about something because you are not its target audience

    But I am it’s target audience? I like comics, I’m discussing a well known brand of comic, in a public comic forum. Negativity is not shitty, perhaps if you don’t like it perhaps you can just downvote and move on? Or perhaps there merit to negative discussions?

    It’s really not hard to see how prominent purity testing is in leftist discourse.

    That’s not what I’m asking, I’m saying you can’t judge now many people are not engaging in purity testing.

    You could say it’s confirmation bias that I have this opinion, but I think given recent events, this opinion does have a basis of fact to it

    That’s exactly what confirmation bias is. “All the toupees I see are bad, therefore, all toupees are bad.” Confirmation bias with a basis of fact to it, still completely ignoring the toupees you don’t notice.

    The only thing that matters is policy, I’ll work with anyone as long as it’s toward an egalitarian society with wealth redistribution.

    Labels are nice for classifying, but not for executing. I don’t care if you identify as leftist, or liberal, or progressive; I care if you support good policies.
