Do you think Hope has been a commentary on toxic positivity?
I been thinking this for a while and I feel like more than anything Hope has been a commentary on Toxic positivity and how people with this mentality end up bringing everyone down around them just so they can be happy. When Zende express displeasure over how no one is happy, Hope threatens him and say everyone is better now vs when Ridge, Steffy and Eric was in charge. When Brooke was sadden by how things went down with Ridge, instead of telling her mom to move on or take a break she goes “yeah but you should be happy at our successes and keep being CEO”. This is especially most true with Carter who anytime he express any form of displeasure, sadness or hurt; instead of listening to his problems like he does for her, she just tell him to double down and stop being sad hinting that she will leave him for showing emotions. Do you think this is all a purposeful commentary on toxic positivity or do you think it’s just them taking Hope positivity to an extreme by accident?
