lol wow that is a whole lot of anger over something fairly trivial
what the people in that post were doing was justifying pretty vitriolic and unacceptable behavior. they were definitely talking about finding judoon and "rip[ping him] limb from limb," which even in the heat of anger with no intent behind it should not be tolerated because it's a shitty, gross way to talk about another human being. it doesn't matter if they intend to do it, it's just cruel.
DA Just because something is not a death threat exactly doesn't mean that it is harmless. The people in the thread are saying it was a mean comment but ultimately a harmless (if tasteless) joke between friends that no one should be upset over. But there is a level of vilence and rage in comments like that where I feel someone could legitimately be bothered by it and it shouldn't be dismissed as just a joke.

(Anonymous) 2016-06-18 04:59 am (UTC)(link)The people in the Tumblr chain are saying two things. 1) what was said was not a death threat 2) regardless, it was a shitty thing to have said.
Wow, it's almost like the two thoughts can coexist! What a concept.
