We should make the internet unavailable to kids and teens, the temptation of trolling is too much for their undeveloped brains.
Comment on The developer of Skyblivion, which remakes Oblivion in Skyrim, says they have received death threats

If anyone is wondering why…yeah there’s no reason. It’s just sad losers trolling them and hacking their Discord for no reason other than (probably) the lulz.

There are as many unbearable man-children as there are socially underdeveloped teens on the internet. As sad as that is, even if we banned teenagers from the internet it wouldn’t improve anonymous spaces all that much.

There's shitty adults too for sure, but I still think a lot of the shitheads online are 14 year olds.

It’s incredibly common for game developers. Change a variable from a 5 to a 4 and you get death threats. Change it back to 5 ane you get more death threats.
The reality is that a lot of gamers simply aren’t very good people (and now they often have the far-right cheering them on).
I loved working in the industry but the constant tantrums and entitlement made it easy to leave.

There’s probably a seriously petty reason behind it, like someone who also loved Oblivion also began to involve themselves with the development but were driven out or left because they were a petty troll about something. Placing my bets on someone finding out their cult of ideology idol was not universal, if only because that seems to be the statistically most common for pettiness nowadays.

Perhaps it says something about us when this is the kind of shit our children find funny.

Remember that it's most like just edgy kids, the internet becomes a lot more bearable when you just assume all the dumbos are little kids trying to act cool.
