re: 'Games were supposed to be a fun career choice: Now I'm afraid I'll get murdered

I'm sure it's distressing to receive death threats and other extreme forms of hate mail, but 99% of the time it's socially backward misfits venting about the newest entry in their favorite series or genre failing to live up to their expectations.

People get overly passionate about the various forms of entertainment media and form strong unrealistic opinions about them. With the internet, these fricktards get a soapbox and an easy means of sending messages to those they deem responsible for tainting their beloved game, movie, etc.

I wish we lived in a world where people could form coherent rational arguments about things that bothered them, but we don't live in that world.
