This woman is a POS but how quickly people go to death threats is insane.

It needs to be studied how quick people online are to threaten people's lives with the veil of anonymity.

I think death threats at minimum should get you a fine and like a three strike rule. Death threats aren’t free speech.

So this is a genuine question I have because I always wonder: what is considered a death threat?

"I'm gonna kill you" very clearly is.

"I hope you die", idk, I've never considered that a threat (personally) but then I'm like "maybe that's just me because that's just wishing ill on someone, not necessarily a threat."

So I'm super curious on how you interpret it? Absolutely not trying to stir any shit up, this is very much a genuine thought I have!

Definitely the first but I think it depends on the second one.

I kind of feel saying "I hope something you die" is different to saying "I hope someone kills you" and I feel the latter falls into what could be considered a death threat and the former isn't? I know neither is a direct threat but the latter seems more aggressive.

I'm kind of tying it to r*pe threats where someone saying "I hope" that then I would definitely feel that is threatening.

i feel like some of these people DO get genuine death threats but i am constantly seeing stan twitter esque comments and i wonder if she's also getting a lot of those. like people telling her to go choke on the balance beam or something wild like that.
