It’s not the cause, it’s a symptom of a larger problem.
What would I need an “out” for?

You are the one implying that it’s enforced toxic positivity. It’s not.
I’m disagreeing with you perfectly fine, and I can block/report toxic people too.
While I agree with you that the concept of forced toxic positivity is bad, I don’t see the implication that blocking downvotes is it.
You downvote either when you disagree with a comment, which is a soft censorship and I don’t really like that, or when the other user is being an asshole, in which case the proper tool is the block/report, not downvoting.
If you disagree with a comment you can either respond or ignore, I feel like downvoting is a soft censorship that creates an unnecessary bias on new readers.
In any case, feel free to have your opinion that blocking downvotes sucks, but please don’t say that it’s forcing toxic positivity, that’s not true.
