Somehow I have made it this long on the internet without death threats
I was gonna say the same thing. Never had a death threat sent to me, but I have had guns pointed at me a couple of times, so I guess that is a death threat of sorts. Been threatened with violence a few times, and even an attempted carjacking once. Not a damn one of them was conscientious enough to put it in writing though.
This is probably the most obvious answer, but I beat them over and over in a videogame lmao
Like 10-15 years ago I took a screenshot from my pokemon game. I named my ditto “children” and then put it in the daycare center, so that when I went to pick him up the daycare lady says “If you want your children back, it will be $5000”.
As someone who had never watched the movie “Taken”, it was kind of unsettling to login to reddit the next day to find like five messages in my inbox saying some form of “I don’t know who you are but I will find you and I will kill you”.
Probably doesn’t fit the intent but thankfully those are the only examples I have.
Not sent, but I had an old guy follow me 5 minutes down the road and threaten to kill me to my face because I apparently bumped into him in a busy station.
Received rambling voice message death threats in Instagram dms because I insulted this guy’s Confederate larp account and called him a loser. I’m glad I’m no longer on Instagram
Somehow I think I’ve managed to avoid getting death threats, beyond the “kill yourself” kind. If we count the “kys” bit, I got those whenever I played games online, but now it’s normally when I talk about communism with right-wingers.
I used to have a not well known webcomic and would get death threats/“kill yourself” messages pretty regularly, so yeah for drawing a cartoon would be mine I guess! They never used to bother me especially though, I thought they were funny. I used to have a page up where I’d post the dumbest ones lol.
