The community response to people sending all manners of threats to specific people should simply be the simple response of disavowing those people, from the general community, not just the FFXIV community, as those behaviors are criminal behaviors (or should be if not).

But it's harder disavow them when others in the community insist that those people belong to the community, and that's unfair to the community at large.
That is true, and I agree, but my main point is to demonstarte and hopefully show some who thinks our community isnt capable of it that this is a long standing issue. I see a lot of people think and actively say FF isnt toxic, and if people in XIV are toxic its because they're from other games. No our community is very capable and have acted like this in the past. ANd you're right, they should let it be known that these actions arent ok, they should speak out sooner and faster.
