    If you are on the Internet you will receive death threats. Why are we treating it like news? I don’t make anything, rarely comment and get told to kill myself about once a month.

    It’s messed up, but I hate reading articles of people clutching their pearls over chat from any multiplayer game.

    Either create consequences or accept that it’s a part of the Internet.

      You make it sound normal, which it is not. There is one thing shouting in a game that they will kill you in the game. It’s something totally different when they are sending death threats.

      This is not “part of the internet” this is people being insane. The people behind this could face jail time.

        You 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.

      I seem to interact with the internet more frequently than you and I have literally never been told to kill myself online. And that even might be about to change, but I’m not particularly sensitive to it. Still an absolutely braindead and shitty thing to do
