Only tangentially related, but I just realised that now when I read "X got death threats", the assumption I jump to is that X is a terrible person/company trying to deflect from their terrible decisions/actions.
Not seemingly the case here, but Im left pondering how often this claim has been misused as an easy cop-out. WoTC, , etc.
You jump to blaming the victim? That's not a good place to start.
Yeah, it should be the opposite. If X is getting death threats, that means X is successful. FOSS projects get that nonsense all the time, it's just a symptom of getting large enough for crazy people to notice.
There's no real correlation between getting death threats and being "good/bad," if you make something that gets popular, you'll get death threats. There's no further meaning behind it.
