No, it's reality. "Do whatever you want" is terrible advice. Hard stop. It's right up there with "positive vibes only" and "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". That's not how people grow or overcome anything.

Because it isnt positive, and it's detrimental "advice". You're judged by actions. Strive to do better and don't worry about what other people say about it. As long as you are working towards continual improvement, you're always being a better you.

Maybe because this isn't motivational, it's enabling. "Do whatever you want" isn't beneficial, or conducive to being better. Pointing out that something is nonsense and doesn't fit a sub is pretty common, regardless of which one something is posted in.

Yeah, the argument of "some people are going to think I'm shitty" is not a justification for actually being shitty.

I know someone that uses this as an excuse to be an awful person. Probably not the best advice for some people.

No, I don't subscribe to toxic positivity or stupid statements telling you to do whatever you want. You'll be judged by people for what you do, and that's sometimes all that's keeping someone from doing terrible shit. That's a fact, not an opinion.
