    A lot of it is so grotesque that repeating or showing it here would likely result in a ban - to say nothing of the added difficultly of getting around the 'naming and shaming' rules.

    You'll probably have to read the pages before that post to see the full context of the discussion.

    From what I recall, other posters have spoken up on the issue within this very thread in passing to express similar experiences, though the thread is so large at this point that I do not feel compelled to comb through it to find such comments - nor would I expect anyone else to either.
    On the subject on the death threats: assuming good faith, sorry you had to go through that.

    But, reading through that thread, I have to agree with what most others are saying. Unfortunately, your accusations are way too broad and vague, and if I'm understanding correctly, seem to have happened primarily on Reddit.

    I'm bringing this up because this seems to be something you constantly repeat on the forums as a primary motivator behind your distaste with certain segments of the fandom and their influence on the game and community, but from all outside observances, it's a matter of taking your word for it. Even with full sincerity assumed in this specific case, however, the culprit seems to be only ONE person on Reddit, which is not enough to go on. It's hard to actually see the relevant connection of unacceptable poster behavior and some sort of greater hypocrisy/fallacious actions within the forum community itself. There's no denying that such toxicity exists....but I'm struggling to see greater effect on the discourse of the game.

    Again, there's no excuse to go through death threats, but it's hard to differentiate between the validity of those death threats and the ones the FFXIV writers have claimed to receive.
