To be fair, that Ghostbusters video was the work of a total loser.
The other tweets about the 'destroying' and the guys wife are inexcusable though.

They started with the death threats right after he published the rumour actually.
After it was confirmed they blamed him for the delay, because reasons.
how can you be that crazy about a game thats not even out

Honestly, this is my biggest take away from these issues. Twitter's complete and utter apathy for breaches of privacy, death threats, and actually harmful content that isn't a photo of tits, is appalling.The most insane thing about all of this is how this Beach Clashers guy didn't get banned from twitter until last night, after Jason posted his email of Twitter support saying the user didn't break Twitter's TOS (he obviously did).
You can write an article seen by tens of thousands of people showing clear proof of harassment/death threats and Twitter still won't do anything about it unless people bitch at Twitter for not doing anything about it.
It feels like every other month I see an article about how Twitter is implementing some new thing to curb harassment but it never feels like anything changes.

To be fair, it's your right as a consumer to refuse to purchase/ buy into a product. I.E. A movie ticket.
To be fair, the job of a movie's trailer is to entice you into wanting to see the movie. Don't like the trailer? Don't go see the movie.
So what happened in that subreddit when the delay was made official? Did they all stopped what they were doing and apologized to Kotaku?

But it makes me wonder. Let's say Twitter actually pulled the anchor out of its ass and began actively policing their platform? Would it be better if these sea urchin of the human population went back to being unseen? Has their visibility actually been encouraging others to join their ranks, or was it their invisibility that was the main factor of their growth?

It's just a delay, jeez. Not even a bad one at that. What horrible people.
That is true for consumers, but I'm pretty suspicious of the motives of any reviewer who is choosing to "make a stand" by not reviewing Ghostbusters. Reviewing films is, at least nominally, yur job, if not a service your providing to your audience. Refusing to see this movie for "reasons" when you have reviewed plenty of other crap doesn't smell right.
Yeah, I think this is what gets me the most. The "offense" as it where was so fucking minor. Oh God, a 1 and a half month delay! The horror!
What makes No Man's Sky fans so special that they feel the need to issue death threats over such a tiny delay? What the Zelda fans that thought Zelda Wii U was gonna come out in 2015? What about the Persona 5 fans? What about people still hyped for Mighty Number 9?
The amount of entitlement in these lunatics is outstanding.

"be afraid human, we are coming for you"
That does sound like a troll. Am I the only one?
No lies detected.
Oh, I'm not condoning any such behavior. I hope no one else was either.No, other people have said that it sounds like a troll too
That does does not make it okay to send a death threat
In the good old days, you would just call the police if you received a death threat.
What happened to that?

They don't take it seriously.

Yep, bullying people over the internet is totally ok!

What the hell is this?

Won't respond. I refuse.
No lies detected.
Anyone who threatens someone's life over a video game is a total fucking loser.
Why? You're agreeing with that bullying tweet. Over a video of someone's rather placid opinion of a movie.
It's not like he was condoning violence against women or sympathizing with gamergate or something. Jesus get some perspective.
It's referring to the big baby who stamped his foot and said that he "refused" to review a Ghostbusters movie and put a video out to boast about it to get attention.
