I think the JS community doesn't nearly have a bullying problem like other industries have. Face it - people are shit to each other and that won't change, it's human nature. In fact I think tech is doing relatively well compared to the rest of the world (case in point - publication of this article).
Let's take a look at the financial sector, shall we? Or legal? I think the phrasing 'bullying in tech' discredits marginalized people working in other places.
But I also want to add, no, we don't need even more positivity. We need realism. One of the things I love about our sector is how so many people just speak their mind, rather than think for 5 minutes how to send an internal email without offending any hypersensitive people. As a child you might've played on rubber tiles, but if you fall on the pavement wrong you break your jaw regardless. The world is harsh by nature, and at some point you should learn to deal with that.
