The false notion that the community is greater than the individual is what leads to group think and ban wagons. The positivity band wagon is one of the worst; where fans deflect criticism by saying that negativity is a bad thing. If you criticise something they like they will dislike you because you have acted in a way contrary to the groupthink, being that positivity is a virtue.
Critical thinking is a virtue and mindless positivity/negativity are for people who don't want to think.

how nice of them trying their best to be cringy for the sake of friendship
