Even if they are "real" death threats, how dangerous are they actually? Is there even a single known case of someone making such a threat and then going through with it?
It just feels like another way to censor the internet.
Impolite and inappropriate, sure. But asking someone to kill themselves is not a threat. Words have meanings.
Talk about a low effort fake, too. If you're saying you're getting death threats, then have to provide receipts, and so decide to forge them...at least make a better fake threat!
"I will hunt you down and kill you, you woke commie piece of crap" for example. Maybe with a few intentional misspellings though, to drive home the point that your opposition is dumb. It's a classic. It's not rocket science; think why someone would criticize you, then extrapolate to the extreme. And include an actual death threat. That part's key.
Anyone who complains about death threats is the kind of faggot who deserves to be bullied. Because that's what 99% of them, bullying or trolling.
And now we have an entire industry and decade of time teaching people that its a get out of jail free card for all consequences, which means you should believe them even less.
that's fake news. rape is non-consensual, and your mom loves being the town bicycle. everyone gets a ride. even at 74 years old, one hip broken so she can barely even walk, she still can't get enough. her vag lips are so loose she goes base jumping without a parachute.

The left love to get themselves worked into a frenzy over something like this. Yet every mass shoot was know to police. But no let’s waste effort on this because some danger hair land whale or soy goblin had their feelings hurt.
The thing about death threats is that they've been pretty much ubiquitous for anyone in a notable public position pretty much since mass communication was a thing, yet they never really got very much attention or concern until the SJW brigade made it one of their pet issues.
That's not actually a death threat even by legal standards, telling somebody to kill themselves is more like a call for you to do something not them wanting to do something. I really fucking hate this, because if this is the standard people are operating on then some poor fucker who really is getting death threats from a crazy person is going to get ignored by these blatant attention seekers.
By the way, you see this behaviour quite a bit from game devs whenever they get criticism and you realise it's just somebody venting their frustration and saying kys rather than actually wishing death on them. Yeah, sure, okay, it's not a pleasant thing to see in your inbox, however I guess I'm way more sensitive to this being British because I've seen the shit Muslims will put in peoples' inboxes which aren't just death threats they're full on incitement. There have even been cases here in the UK where you've had people who have had fatwas issued against them which is the Muslim equivalent of putting a bounty on peoples' heads for their death for real.
Fuck these people who use death threats to try and deflect criticism from themselves. I feel like faking death threats should be illegal because the implication like with any false accusation is that 'somebody' did it and they're maliciously counting on people not looking too closely and gaining sympathy or worse maybe having violence inflicted on somebody else if they want them to take all the heat.
They're the type that when they hear on Xbox live someone saying they fucked their mom, they'd report it as a rape threat...
Welcome to a world where attention seeking narcissists are enabled by a codling establishment.

A fake ''KYS'' isn't a proper death threat anyway.
Right?

Faggot. In Minecraft.
Already confirmed pedojeet.
Report and disregard.
Why are death threats bad anyway? Maybe these people deserve death?
You're already dead -- you're obsessed with this place.
online death threats are not worth the bandwidth they consume

If internet threats were real, my mom would have been raped thousands of times already.

I don't believe any threat claims without receipts anymore.
