Children that use Dreams seem to exist in a separate bubble of content. They make "Original Characters" that are generally remixes of Sonic characters or Friday Night Funkin puppets, they create scenes called "Add Yourself" where they make little groups to collaborate on a scene and add their characters, and they generally wreak havoc in the Jam votes and Trending section.

If you've ever visited the comment section of one of these AYs, or any of the young dreamers who regularly take part in AYs, you'll see it's a very different side of Dreams than the one you'll see from visiting social media sites (with curating algorithms) or interacting with adult peers who also are interested in making / playing truly original Dreams content.

Do I see death threats in these comment threads? Generally no, but I do remember reporting some over-the-line comments that maybe were extremely poor-taste jokes. I see TONS of deleted comments. I see tons of drama over basically nothing at all, and people saying "unblock me" or "send this apology creation to X so they will unblock me".

So "full of death threats" may be a small hyperbole, but definitely not a fabrication, and "really toxic" is 100% accurate. As an example, when Cutaia released his first "asset jam" scene of a shopping mall, a kid remixed the scene to make an Add Yourself, and then when people started remixing his remix he blocked at least 3 of us and probably more that I didn't talk to, and started leaving us all comments saying to stop remixing the scene. Again, a scene they didn't create, and a scene they only modified by stamping in "OC" characters that were mostly all rip offs of other IPs. That wasn't even the end of the drama from that incident, but it's the only part that really make sense without extra context.

Yes, kids in Dreams are often toxic. But at least they have to post their comments as text, which creates accountability, rather than simply having a bunch of kids in voice chat being toxic with no repercussion.
