Toxic pacifism refers to the excessive or misguided promotion of peace and non-confrontation in ways that ultimately enable harm, injustice, or abuse. It involves avoiding conflict or discomfort at all costs—even when confrontation is necessary to address wrongdoing, protect the vulnerable, or seek justice.
