You know some of these people going "how could they give it a 9 or a 10?" are the same people that attacked and harassed anyone that gave it a score lower than a 9 before it came out lol

Just a thought, maybe some reviewers aren't fans of getting death threats for giving unreleased games a "horrible" 7/10 score, so they just spike the score slightly in order to avoid that.

There are bad reviewers, of course, but honestly, I can't say for sure I would be an impartial reviewer if I knew I could get doxxed and harrased for giving something a 7/10 -- I'd just give it an 8 and be done with it.

      Let me quote the post you replied to:

      Have you ever been on the receiving end of an online hate mob? Have you ever woken up to see a hundred new DMs of people saying they’re going to rape you, telling you to kill yourself, etc? Have you ever had people post your personal information online, including your number? Have you had nasty voice mails left of your phone? Nasty messages sent to friends or relatives? Have you had people email your employer trying to get you fired? Have you had aspects of your personal life collected on drama/harassment forums where people’s sole goal is to try to ruin your life?

      Wow, so you experienced all of this at a public school? No?

      Then refer to the last part of my post chud:

      Honestly, until you’ve experienced that type of behaviour you should shut the fuck up about it.

      Just because you block someone on twitter doesn't mean those people can't make a new account, or you don't end up seeing those messages nor does it stop people from finding your personal information on one of the many shitty harassment sites that exist on the internet.

              This isn't a fucking dichotomy where one of either online harassment and "in real life" harassment can be bad. It doesn't fucking matter if they're "the same," that's not he bar for whether online harassment is a bad fucking thing or not.

              But yeah, continue with the victim blaming shit my dude.

              Because you're a lying sack of shit. I don't give a fuck about civility shitlib.

              go back to cancelling karens (and incels) on twitter

              Yeah dude talking about how bad online hate mobs can be is the same thing as "cancelling" people, get a fucking clue.
