Damn I feel foolish now I've RTFA, she's complaining about YT trolls, there's no actual violence. One person posted a death threat with her address attached. Everyone from climate scientists to Exxon executives get that sort of shit continuously, it's (sadly) part of being a public figure.
This shouldn't be part of being a "public figure"....it lessens us as humans, and as a society....It's depressing, horrifying, and wrong, in any way, shape or form. There should be zero tolerance for threatening to abuse a person, sexually, or emotionally, or otherwise, even if the comments are made as "trolling". The fact that anyone sees this as acceptable for anyone to receive is scary to me...
Why would you think it's acceptable? Whether in jest or not?
