I'm not sure who you're referring to, since I've never seen death threats while reading these forums. Then again, I haven't read the forums at length in years.

Those poor Garleans and Ascians, molded into adversaries who the authors imply we should consider as "bad" ... how dare someone telling a story utilize those tropes! Story bad! Must write Fanfiction to correct story! Developers bad because they wrote that story in the manner they chose!

Those kind of things I have read in these forums. Don't agree with them, but players can certainly think that way, and speak about it. It's when they assert that we agree with them that it becomes problematic.
