League of Legends game designer and former caster David 'Phreak' Turley has chosen to quit social media following "death threats."

I don’t pay attention to it but I was told it’s because he never abandons a stance even when presented with evidence that disproves it

I don’t think that matters, tbh. Being stubborn doesn’t warrant receiving death threats.

More of a context thing than a justification

Are the claims of receiving death threats verified with evidence?

Nowadays that’s the easiest Get Out of Jail Free card to manufacture. Just claim you’re receiving death threats and you’re suddenly the victim, regardless of if it actually happened or not.

Not hard to believe the gaming community is toxic.

If you’ve ever done their “tribunal” system you’ll know that there’s enough people in their community that would

Didn’t they get rid of Tribunal at some point?

Yeah I think it was killed fairly quickly in like 2014. Was just using it for illustration. If you regularly played the game you’ll have had the same experience

A few who have falsely claimed that actually ended up getting charged with false reports IIRC

I sure hope so. False claims like that damage the credibility of people who it actually happens to.
