It’s a bit different when its 7 years of work that included a lot of crunch time
Also the whole trans thing was just people being transphobic over a cis woman that happened to be buff SOMEHOW. Seriously there’s no freaking way in a post apoc society she’d have the diet and supplements to maintain a body like that.
I mean props for showing a rarely seen version of the female body but they were stupid with it
What!!! That’s just so ridiculous. What is wrong with people…
I’m not familiar with the game, but if they jog everywhere with impossible amounts of inventory on their backs like we do here in Warcraft… that could be part of it. Also I don’t think any of my characters have eaten food in months. I just play in openworld content.
Pretty sure how people and creatures look in games is a freeforall, so can’t see getting too attached to the realism of their appearances. Having favorite lore characters killed or overhauled is pretty tough though. Seems to me introducing a new character with desired traits would be safer than inverting existing characters. That said, it just occurred to me that people who come out in real life take flak from some people in their own lives resenting that change. That one’s a bit sad.
Anyway, this is a scenario with game designers making some radical change a bunch of people hate or love depending on their perspective. So appropriate response is unsub or sub. 
And kudos to you, OP, hating the changes but denouncing the death threaters.
Turns out that video gamers as a group include a lot of truly terrible people.
I miss the era when video gaming was fringe - but it is porbably the case that the awful people were playing even then.
I would rather a bad writer possibly learn from their mistakes. ( I doubt Druckman will because his ego is HUGE )
Death is too final.
Entitlement
Anonymity
Toxicity
Stupidity
Homophobia
Isolationism
And last but not least, people are just
Turds
This is so wrong on so many levels. And the very idea that people are unable to separate actors from characters they play is terrifying beyond words.
This is really messed you. Laura is an absolute sweetheart and for anyone to threaten her over a character is ridiculous.
I bet they don’t even understand how many iconic voices she has done for the entire industry.
Idiots.
From the few interviews I have seen of her she truly loves her voice work too. I hope this incident doesn’t drive her away.
True. Remember that palaton exercise machine scandal where the fit guy got his fit girlfriend/wife a fancy exercise machine, and a bunch of crazed people started speculating that he was mentally abusing and bodyshaming his wife/girlfriend and by extension the company bodyshaming all women everywhere? And the company stock dropped like 10% (and smart people rushed in to buy while it was discounted)?
Pretty sure that guy and lady actor had to go on youtube and post video responses to assure people 1> There was no conceived backstory and 2> If there was, there are benign possibilities like maybe she mentioned wanting that machine when she saw it on a commercial and was amazed he remembered months later.
Then the stock went up 20%.
And seems to me the commercials are just different kinds of people happily using the machine nowadays.
Here in the future it’s probably only going to get harder to distinguish whether bad-faith media is posted by individual opportunists, radical left, rightwing extreme, Russia, fat guys in their basements, competitors, politicians, cows, teenagers…
Meanwhile Skynet is probably wondering if it even needs to bother building a robot army.
I don’t understand. Why is she receiving death threats at all?
Neil Druckman is a piece of garbage, but I’d never threaten him and his family over a stupid video game. That’s what crazy people do.
Give crazy people a voice and they’re going to say crazy things. 
You know what amuses me, people always get death threats but no one ever really posts them.
Well if you turn them over to the police or FBI wouldn’t releasing them technically jeopardize an ongoing investigation and be breaking the law at that point?
And to the major point of response, why would any kind of death threat or the situation of receiving death threats amuse you?
It’s also one of the only places to see raw news before it is processed by for profit or government influenced media. It’s on the users to decide what is worth them looking at. “shutting down” twitter is a useless notion.
It’s crazy people who don’t distinguish between video gameland and reality. Or it could be not-crazy people pretending to be crazy just to stir up controversy for unknown reasons… but threatening someone’s life is one of those things that warrants the fbi going to their house to find out which they are.
One of several hundred thousand reasons.
Publisher, not platform. Kill Twitter.
No, Grumbles; no cookies for this situation. Those folks don’t deserve your cookies.
It’s the gaming community having a pro gamer moment, like usual. This isn’t politics. This is us. This is the same community that becomes so toxic and degrading that people kill themselves.
I’m out before I get peeved.
