My point is, if you don’t think people should be assholes, then why put a negative spin on a positive post in a sub dedicated to motivation?

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.

That’s your perception.

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.

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.
