    The fact that “luigi’d” as a verb has become pretty common slang very quickly, it’s not crazy to associate it with violence.

    Now we get to the actual matter. Several years ago saying “Someone should shoot that CEO” (which would be the same statement as something like “Hoping that CEO gets luigi’d”) would not have gotten you banned. Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.

      that was until the last few years, actually it wasnt a problem implying something should happen, until trump came along. even saying “implying somehting should happen” can be misinterpretation as a violence.

      That was how internet operated generally… until now…
