    This is really depressing, why go after an actor when the writing is at fault?

      It’s not like threatening the writers’ kids would have been reasonable either

          I wouldn’t expect logical thinking to be a strong characteristic in someone who’d threaten kids over a videogame.

              OK, so let’s assume that’s a good faith literal interpretation.

              Let’s try it this way.

              Yes, it possibly would be considered more logical, but people who threaten kids over videogames aren’t generally considered to be working with an abundance of logical thought.

              I could however be wrong in this generalisation given I only have my experience to go on, if your experience leads you to believe people who threaten kids over videogames are not running with a logic deficit then your statement makes sense I suppose.

      Consider the average person’s intelligence. Then realize half (or so) are stupider than that.

      There’s a couple of actors in my province that had a hard time finding work after playing a certain role because people were mad at them personally and producers didn’t want to touch them with a 10’ pole!

      Because writing has no face, you can’t show writing how much you hate it, because it doesn’t change and has no feelings. Meanwhile an actor does. It’s just stupid emotional stuff.

      TBF, she did go on a tirad against players when the game was getting ciriticized. I found it weird that she took the criticism of the game’s writing so personally despite her not being one of the writers.

      Keep in mind that I’m not excusing the death theats. That shit isn’t okay. I’m just pointing out why she may have been targeted for harassment.
