Wrong telling someone you are going to -blam!- them is not protected speech nor is it acceptable speech. Even in tolerable circumstances i.e. two guys are playing a game and one says to the other "you are so gonna get -blam!-" it is still technically a threat and any form of threat is capable of being taken seriously by the receiving party. However from what I understand most of these statements made were not done in such an obviously joking or playful way but in a way that was to be taken as a serious threat to their health.
Furthermore just because you [b]can[/b] do something, doesn't mean you [b]should[/b]. I [b]can[/b] make fun of my friends for having a dead father but [b]should[/b] I? In a dead serious way look them in the eye and insult them and their dead father? No, I shouldn't if you disagree bad troll is bad 0/8 [b]you[/b] need to grow up and GTFO.

Edited by itzmeeeeee: 8/6/2015 12:33:17 AMLOL You can say anything you want at anytime, doesn't mean there aren't going to be consequences but you're free to say what you want whenever you want. Edit: also if this is harassment then file a lawsuit or some shit lets see how the police/state will take to you claiming to be harassed over a video game lmao
-
Police? No. But bungie/Activision and PSN/MS reserve the right to ban you as they see fit.
-
I never said you [b]couldn't[/b] I said [b]shouldn't[/b]. Also with the increased attention given to cyber bullying I would not be surprised if there was a legal precedent set for cyber harassment cases. As technology evolves to do the laws and crimes accompanied with it.

Edited by BoyMeetsEvil: 8/6/2015 12:41:23 AMThe police would just laugh lol. Nerd calling police, "Officer, officer, help, help! The Dames are being harassed by Boymeetsevil. He said he wanted to f uck them in a livestream of Destiny." Police, "LMAO!"
-
You don't call the police, you call a lawyer and file a lawsuit. Threats of -blam!- and physical harm would be taken very seriously, and the criminals could be tracked by their IP.

Edited by BoyMeetsEvil: 8/6/2015 12:47:05 AMAll those trolls were trolling. Nobody got r@ped or anything and this Thot decides to feed the trolls by making a video about them lol.
-
There is some serious incriminating evidence outside of this post.
-
Oh please. It's a video game and you are going to file a lawsuit because someone called you names is just down right pathetic and a waste of a lawyers time.
-
If someone says they are going to do bad things to you you and they say it seriously on the internet in any other medium, it is considered cyberbullying at best and harrasment if its bad enough. Threats of violence are taken even more seriously. You need to see past the medium of the game and realize that a threat anywhere is still a threat. You wouldn't take this kind of abuse in person, and someone online who is dedicated to getting your IP address might ad well be, because they can find you.

Edited by itzmeeeeee: 8/6/2015 1:27:33 AMYou are so soft bro... I cant stand this "bullying" shit, in my school days if you got pushed you pushed back there was none of this tell NBC shit going on like nowadays. Whatever bro, we can just agree to having different opinions. Have a good day.
-
That's not being soft, that's naming the crime. I'm saying that that's how they take offenses much less worse than murder and r@pe threats.
-
The police are not going to take you seriously.
-
It's not the police who make the call. It's the courts, and they take this very seriously. Also, I know police officers who take this kind of thing very seriously. Because guess what, they're human too. Hollywood makes them look like they don't care or won't listen, but the misunderstanding or unbelieving person us a Hollywood trope, not a real life one.
-
Still sounds ridiculous
-
Laugh all you want, but someone went out of their way to threaten someone they don't even know over their gender. That is an issue.
-
Girls get mistreated in online video games all the time. It's normal. They belong in the kitchen.
-
Doesn't make it right. I'd like to just say nice b8, but something has to be said about how appealing that statement was. Also, reported.
-
Edited by BoyMeetsEvil: 8/6/2015 2:21:59 AMOooo I'm scared because I got reported. You're muted.
-
Muted maybe, but at least I didn't leave the sexist comment for the world to see how much of a sexist you are.
-
I know police officers who would laugh if they heard this... In fact one of my best friends is a police officer and this would make him cry.
-
Then he doesn't take death threats seriously enough.
-
Edited by itzmeeeeee: 8/6/2015 1:39:14 AMFrom my understanding there weren't any death threats at all, are you sure you are informed of this situation before you decided to give your input? And honestly death threats on over a video, yes he would find funny. If you are weak blooded enough to let a threat over a video game shake you, you better stick to single player RPGs
-
It's not that it shakes me, its that if the DoD are to be believed, they received these privately. If they have this evidence, they are well within their rights to deal with this. Trying to clear this community of criminals is not being shaken, its being proactive. I don't care what they say to me, but if someone is threatened, I know they have the right to react in a legal manner.
-
Alright man, This is getting too much for me so ill just respect your opinion and we can part as friends ;) have a nice day!
-
Fair enough. Waited to actually report until I saw your response. I won't hit the button.
