A lot of the anti-maxi crowd are just scammers who got exposed. Of course, then they try to portray maxis as the bad guys. The supposed "toxic maxi" who ridicules precoiners is a non-existent straw man as far as I can tell. The only toxicity I've seen is directed at shitcoin scammers or intellectually dishonest nocoiners. I see how this might come off as abrasive to uninformed bystanders, which is exactly what scammers exploit to make maxis look bad.
