  Don’t underestimate that shit. I’ve personally got death threats before. People are dumb as fuck.

  I don’t say that in Support of unity though.

    Yeah, not only will people send death threats, but they'll send them to random people they see on LinkedIn who happen to have the company in their bio.

    Instead of, like, to the CEO's house.

    Because too many people are both angry reactionaries, and also cowards.

  I was thinking this. A way to demonize the counter movement

  I will absolutely take that bet. Given both how unpopular the decision is combined with it being even tangentially related to the gaming community I would be astonished if they didn’t receive death threats.

  Knowing how despicable the worst of the gaming community can be, I have no doubts that death threats were real.

  I also have no doubts that the despicable CEO, like others of his ilk who receive entirely justified negativity for their stupidity, will milk it as an excuse to water down the negative feedback and shift to victimization.

  I don’t doubt for a second they are real. There are some really scary sycophantic gamers out there.
