Agree with this. Write the author a letter detailing what went wrong and that it's rude to portray someone/something without researching said someone/something first.

And to all the people who talk about the death threats, seriously? Has there been a time in your life when you think "I wish that so-so-so would die, already" ? Or think of the horrible ways we want to do to our bullies? I feel the OP and myself are the only ones or or that everyone (or some people) here has either forgot their experiences or purposefully hide them.

No, I really never have had a moment where I've wished that someone would die, even horrible people or those who have bullied me. It's pretty sad that you think it's so normal.

Wow, condescending much?

(Anonymous) 2012-07-03 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Um, no? I think it's fucking weird that someone would think it's oh so normal for people to wish death on others.

I'm not sure anyone meant "I wish a literal death upon you!" more of a vague "I wish this situation wasn't a thing." kind of death wish. Just having a petty little moment of wishing someone into a cornfield but if actually presented with an opportunity would be all "What the eff is wrong with you, I don't actually want them dead!".

I've had anger management issues since I was a small child, so I guess that might have something to do with it, but seriously, it's really odd to me that so many people have never wanted anyone else to die. I mean, it's probably not normal to do what I did up through high school and plot the (usually pretty ridiculous) demise of people who pissed me off (like death by rabid sentient cactus), but it's just strange that so many people have never thought that they wished someone else would just get terminal flu or fall off a cliff or get eaten by bears or something.

Our local government decided to take down a lot of trees near where I live to enlarge one of the main avenues to "help the traffic" (spoiler: it made it worse), seriously affecting the levels of pollution nearby.

Sometimes, I imagine the persons responsible meeting their fate at the hands of sentient trees.

This doesn't mean that if, say, it somehow happened in front of me, I would like it. I would be horrified because it's different to imagine something and to really, really wish to see it carried out.

I don't think most people genuinely/literally want to see someone die or be terribly injured, it's just a mental relief kind of thing. But I can see why someone who hasn't and doesn't think like that would take it literally.

We really need to share more how and what we think, as a society. As it is, we don't know what the others are thinking and we just assume by filling in the gaps of what we don't know with extrapolations of our own thoughts, which leads to these "Wait, I thought everyone did X!" situations.

Nope, I may think that people are being harsh towards OP, but...well. I never wished someone would die - even though I've been through years of some pretty intense shit. It's not something everyone feels, like you seem to think.

I went tl;dr in a thread above, but, in general, we overestimate how much people think the same way we do when it comes to that kind of thing.
