I think I know what might be really hindering this franchise. ( I might be wrong)

And I am not implying, I am flat out saying that handling your displeasure a different way than simple vocal whining would help to reduce....not eliminate....some of the toxicity. Can you deny that? We can only control what we can control. And what we can control is our response to the displeasure.

So if we agree that fans are a part of the toxicity of the team.

1)  Wouldn't you say it's the majority of fans?

2)  Why would that be?  Surely not a vast majority of people gravitated to a team that were negative to begin with?

You could lie to these answers or wriggle around them.

I do have an honest answer though.

The team is a vacuum, and all of those have been sucked into it's negativity. 

Some were negative to begin with.  Some were poisoned by it.

It's when those fans turn apathetic when it becomes a "you problem, not a me problem" because they no longer care.

Which is the biggest shame and much worse than complaining for the team itself and it's players.
