>Try telling any car sub that Toyotas can break or that Germany's automotive regulations are even slightly over-bearing

On r/justrolledintotheshop, a fairly large mechanic and car enthusiast subreddit, those kind of discussions are commonplace. The mechanics will say "toyotas are usually reliable" and then also agree that they suffer from rust issues. You are being heavily hyperbolic or refusing to see counterexamples to your belief

(not the OP)

I honestly think some people are just not used to get pushback on their ideas. Whether they are surrounded by like-minded individuals in real life or they just haven't ever shared their believes/thoughts much, I don't know. But I quite often see people shocked by encountering the concept that their ideas aren't perfect.

Couple that with the difficulty of reading intent and intensity in a written media and you get people that believe conversations are heavily skewed against them.
