How the frick are you supposed to be able to tell when a death threat is legit or not?

It's not limited to games. Sports, movies, TV shows, etc. Anything people are passionate about and feel that they can hide behind the anonymity of the net.

Like Corndog said, it's sad that's the world we live in now but it is what it is. It's also going to be very easy to discern a real threat from some jackoff with nothing better to do.

I could threaten to rape Dr RC's mom but we all know that wouldn't mean anything because you can't rape the willing...BOOM!!!!!!

You could at least return the favor and be polite about the fricking, sheesh.





Oh I'm sorry, I should have said "With all due respect, you can go frick yourself too" amirite?

I forgot that you should always be polite when you tell somebody to go frick themselves.

These threats don't happen because they're women,


IDGAF why the threats are happening to be honest.

This kind of stuff is not ok and there needs to be a crack down on it.

You're right. Time to shut down the internet and take away everyone's phones.

I know for a fact that Vahn receives death threats, he will retweet them.



Cliffy B does this too. He was getting death threats over the last GoW game that came out like a year or two after he left Epic. Shows you how much research all these criminal masterminds do.

Agreed. We need SJW's to search the internet to shutdown and silence anyone who says anything bad!

Shut it down!

I've never made that claim BTW.

I'm against all this regardless of who its happening to.

It's not right and just ignoring does nothing. People who do this shite need to face consequences.

Internet laws are changing and developing but what sucks about that is yet again we are having some freedoms taken away in the process.

Plus, you know what a colossal waste of resources it would take to hunt down every 13-year-old or loser that threatened people on the net?

There are way more important things to worry about like whether or not A&M fans are sodomizing innocent sheep.

Giving away freedoms is the most responsible thing we can do. Who cares about freedom when people can live without fear?

Yes I can. Take the Curt Schilling story this week and the two guys that threatened to rape his daughter. Looking at the fat dumbass and the other guy involved, do you think they were going to get anywhere close to sniff her much less rape her?

They deserve what they got but let's be real about how hollow their threats were.

thing is... if someone was unhinged enough to commit murder over a fricking video game, they probably wouldn't waste time with writing a youtube comment or an email. they're probably just, y'know, do it.

that or do whatever other crazy shite they like to do, like drawing on the wall with their own feces.

the rest of them are just enjoying the anonymity of the internet to be giant assholes with no fear of repercussions because they'd get their teeth kicked down their throat if they said such things in public.

My favorite is when people write laws or beg their reps to because they simply disagree with something. Nothing like trying to force people to do what you want.

Sorry but I don't think anyone should have the right to online stalk and harass a person with death/rape threats.


To me this isn't all that different than that horrid woman who made a fake facebook account so that she could bully a teen down the street leading to the girls suicide. You should not be able to do shite like that and get off.

Start popping people for this kind of behavior and its going to do a lot to curb it.
