Comment on The developer of Skyblivion, which remakes Oblivion in Skyrim, says they have received death threats
ScrivenerX@lemm.ee 1 year agoYou are conflating normal with acceptable.
Death threats are normal on the Internet. People’s lives are constantly threatened on the Internet.
It’s not acceptable. It should be stopped, but currently there is no real enforcement, and no way to stop them. Acting shocked isn’t going to stop them.

I don’t think I’ve ever received one, so it’s not normal because you’ve received one a month.

I don’t regularly receive death threats, either.
This person might want to evaluate how they carry themselves.
