Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

I'm pretty sure that the Japanese writers are super confused about all this because there are weird nuances about the US that are difficult to understand if you aren't us. When someone in America claims to be "receiving death threats", we all understand that to be a performative thing designed to gain status. It can be good for ones career etc, to make such claims, and it's a competitive market. We kind of take it as read that this isn't a thing that's actually happening. However, worry not, if it *were* actually happening, doing this is illegal. So, the police would actually arrest the person who did it. There are no arrests, because, um, it doesn't actually happen. We in America understand that virtually everything is fake. So, when someone says basically anything, the default internal response if that the person is fabricating whatever they are saying.

There are literally X/Twitter hashtags for people arguing she deserves to die. We also know that police often don't act on death threats unless there is substantial reason to believe that they are coming from someone who is going to follow through, because so many online death threats are made every day on the internet, trying to even track all the people doing it is too much work.

There is indeed something culturally peculiar about the US, but it is not that we should assume the recipients of death threats are making them up, it is that many Americans do not think threatening to kill someone is all that serious a thing to say, so especially in online spaces death threats are made quite lightly by people who have no actual intention to follow through, as though they are just throwing an insult.

I don't believe you, and you don't believe you. So, I guess we're in the same boat. But, hey, let me google it just to prove my own assumptions correct...brb...

OK, so, there are hashtags about people that want the fictional character Wuk Lamat to die in the game, NOT the voice actor. Of course, you knew this already. As I said, everyone in the US is totally and openly just lying all the time. But, hey, if you find it entertaining, then good for you, I guess And, trust me...police officers would trip over themselves over hate stuff. Good way to get promoted...only way for a lot of them to get promoted. Also, DoJ money and rewards, and, etc, etc, etc... You seem pretty smart to come up with all of this. So, you probably get this too already.

Anyways, they'd better not kill of the fictional character Wuk Lamat...not after we went through all of that. This whole expac was set up. I'll hold my opinion until we see where it goes. But, like, it is hard to continue to write compelling stories over and over and over again. The 10 year Hydaelyn arc was the bees knees. So, you know, I'm more inclined to think that, long term, it will be pretty good.
