Can someone explain the Dutasteride hysteria in this community?

Can someone explain the double standard in regard to shedding I constantly see in this community?

Here is an example of comments/interactions I see almost daily:

Shedding when starting Finasteride: "All good bro, stay with it, completely normal."

Shedding when starting oral/topical Minoxidil: "Results can take up to a year, trust the process. Shedding means its working."

Shedding when starting Dutasteride: "Oh my god! Stop immediately and don't give it time! Abandon ship! Shedding is not normal!"

For some reason shedding is a good sign when using Finasteride or Minoxidil but not Dutasteride.

There is irrefutable evidence Dutasteride negates more DHT than Finasteride. It makes complete sense if you were using Finasteride and then switched to Dutasteride you would have another shedding period.

Explain this double standard like I'm 5
