How do you go about video game criticism?

>>713852383 (OP)
Death Threats

>>713852383 (OP)
i blame kikes, brownoids, and faggots because it’s the truth

>californians: [be really annoying and gay and infest everything with their soulless view of life]
>everyone else: please die
>californians again: omg why

"kys" is not a threat you dumb nigs, it's a suggestion

>>713852383 (OP)
Honestly making devs fix anything requires thousands of retards screaming at the top of their lungs and throwing internet poo for months. If something else was effective people would do that.

>>713852383 (OP)
I complain on an online internet forum, claiming Hebrew influence is the source of the issue

>>713852383 (OP)
STEVE?

>>713852383 (OP)
does anyone else have a pet peeve about people referring to their subconscious or their mental shortfalls as theirr "brain" as if it was a seperate object or something?

Where's the amogus?

>people are still trying to cancel Tim Buckley for the "problematic" comic he made 17 years ago
Sad!

You could change a few words to make it about journos and devs pretending like they're being sent death threats when they are faced with criticism.

>>713857964
>criticism
And death threats very much happen. Where do you think you are? I have death threats and I'm anon.

>>713852383 (OP)
right is right

>>713852675
Same with steam reviews. A bad overall score does affect sales, which is why „review bombing“ happens if a dev does something exceptionally stupid. It’s one of the few ways to directly show them that something is not okay.

The original said NIGGER

>>713852383 (OP)
Journalists feel NOTHING... ever?

>>713852383 (OP)
what sort of fucking sperglord complains to his family about video games before making a post online?

>>713852383 (OP)
is it a "death threat" if I wish for Splatoon 3's developers to get cancer and suffer a lot then die?

For me its pornstache

>>713855265
Ooo, banana

>>713852383 (OP)
Don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as.

Any time some dev or journo talks about "death threats" its fabricated. Has there ever been an arrest or even a police report made over the supposed "death threats"?

>>713860004
the kind that defends corporations like their lives depend on it and make comics like these.

B^U

I will just not buy it.

>>713860276
i wouldn't be surprised if police reports exist but i don't think there's ever been a case of it going offline. just spergs doing what they do best and choosing language that is too strong, and emotional punk bitches taking those spergouts at face value so they can feign victimhood.

>>713860276
I'm with you. I don't think death threats are anywhere near as common as they make out. I always hear claims of death threats but I never actually see any examples of these supposed death threats. Even with that one dumb bitch who claimed they received "rape threats all the time", which is a little more plausible than death threats, it turned out there was just two of them and they came from literal kids.

>>713852383 (OP)
Death threats are extreme, and usually ineffective
but complaining online or to your friends and family anytime something upsets you that they can't do anything about is arguably worse imo.

This is a weird analogy, but just humor me here, it's like if someone kept dropping off vile hobo shoes onto your property
>Wat
Let me finish. Now screaming hostile remarks at your neighbors might not help, whether or not they're responsible, but bringing them into your house, placing them in front of your relatives is just as warped. You're just spreading the frustration and futility. I don't have any equivalent for an online scenario, maybe leaving the shoes in some store other users regularly gather.

The point is smearing your shit around isn't an appropriate response. In fact, opposite the extreme of death threats, some devs or translators or culture commentary clown imply or outright say they derive pleasure from knowing something has distressed someone who can only uselessly complain in their hugboxes. The usually response is to just not buy or engage, which isn't wrong, but the situation is fucked all around. The line being drawn at the customer response is suss. It's like when constant bullying is ignored, but once a victim raises their voice a little suddenly everyone has an opinion piece out on the disturbing implications of anger prone youths.

tl;dr Maybe don't make a living around continuously provoking contempt from people?

>>713860276
Melissa Batten case?

I'm like 99.99% sure that they aren't getting sent actual death threats
It feels like the go-to excuse for easy sympathy, no proof required

>>713861457
>a murder suicide between a husband and wife after the wife was caught cheating
idk how that's relevant

>>713861065
>oh my heckin science just be a decent human being????
>oh but all those articles about the death of gamers, how all gamers are fat nerds that should be shunned, about how every niche game needs to be destroyed and sexuality killed, those are fine

>>713861741
weird how they've been bitching about "death threats" for over a decade now yet not one of them has been killed yet
most peculiar

>>713860678
>there was just two of them and they came from literal kids.
that sounds illegal
sexually charged communication with children is illegal
they should lock her up

Daily reminder: You don't need social media
>But...
You don't
>Everyone is...
It's pointless
People with actual friends and families are using private group chats to talk with each others, wants to meet new people? It's incredibly easy to find a discord group that fits your needs to a T. You don't need to make yourself a public figure and post your genuine opinions to billions of strangers that can adress you at any minute anywhere. If anything this is only useful if you are a celebrity or brand self promoting, and that's what social media is, a bunch of fucking ads, and there you are, a complete john doe doing it for free even with you hating evey second of it, you truly are lower than a janny if you use social media as a public figure

OK but I asked for sodium chloride

"death threats" is just what people claim when they want sympathy
getting rightfully shit on because you made a bad decision or put out a shit product? just claim you're receiving death threats and now anyone who criticizes you is null and void and evil because "le death threats"

>>713860276
it's definitely just snowflakes who read a post telling them to go die in a fire or get cancer and die or some other basic shit so they piss their pants and cry about it

>>713862897
Is Discord a social media?

>>713858252
Kill yourself.

>>713862984
sodium chloride is not table salt, jimmy
you claim to be a boy genius and yet you're still fucking retarded

>>713863195
No, because the things you post are only visible to other people in that server, compared to social media like facebook or twitter where the things you post are visible to EVERYONE and fed into ad bots and algorithms to be served to other people

>jocat released a fucking horrible safe horny video
>it got rightfully mocked
>he then claimed he received death threats because of it
>now the comments are sucking his dick
Death threats claims are the way

>>713852383 (OP)
Threaten to rape game dev's pets and shit in their cars.

>Vent to friends and family about a video game's development
JACKIE

The problem is that death threats nowadays are massively overinflated the same way school shootings are. Any time you see anyone talk about school shootings they talk about it in the sense most people think which is a lone schizo deciding to shoot up a dozen or more people at a school, when in reality it can be something as minor as two niggers getting in a shootout outside a school after dark and a few bullets hit the side of one of the buildings. Meanwhile people hear "I was sent death threats!" and they think the classic examples of like people sending them pictures of their house with messages of how they're going to gut them like a fish in the dead of night, when in reality its an email/DM that's just "kys my man".

Its easy to say and it sounds really scary and it makes them sound more like a victim when its all just smoke and mirrors bullshit PR.

Have a dev that cries about death threats EVER gone to the police about it?

>>713863504
That takes way more effort then soliciting pity online does, you have to like fill out forms and shit.
