>>77116062I'll give you a hint: they are far less common than the internet would have you believe. If you're a public figure you'll get tonnes of DMs, and often they'll be critical of you or outright mean. But genuine death threats, one in a million. And I'll tell you why: every social media platform logs DMs. The few folks that once did this all got culled off of every mainstream site and now just seethe on chan spinoffs
Any time you see a public figure mentioning private death threats, they're just following modern internet damage control 101, lying for publicity and manipulating public opinion. Because the average person figures "yeah they may be lying, but if they're not then I'd be a terrible person for doubting them." That's how the grift works, but when you know the grift then the spell loses its magic.
