An issue dealing w/ NRS Producer Shaun Himmerick & his Twitter Acct.

[Eldriken]

I hope you guys show this much concern for your actual friends and family.

I show infinitely more concern for my family and friends. =)

To quote a rapper that I don't even listen to:

Seriously, who the fuck cares? It's the internet, people talk shit. Ignore them, they're strangers.

It's not like someone is actually at your doorstep threatening you, just some dickhead typing stuff beyond a keyboard.

Sticks & Stones.

Seriously? You're joking right??

 

[Zoidberg747]

No I'm talking about people who say that what you said are no big deal and to block and move on or then you should not be on Twitter... Free speech as you know does not cover verbal assault or threats... To do nothing when there is a clear path to and saying no big deal Internet... Is saying not close enough for me to care yet... If everyone thinks in years if not stopped that it will move offline along with a complacent attitude towards is fooling themselves...

It looks like I totally misunderstood your point. My bad

 

[VenomX-90]

He should send the bastard straight to the Netherrealm

 

[Tim Static]

And we're back but with a little less stupid.

Keep the ignorance out of here....that's why this thread was started.

No i'm not joking.


You know how to deal with people on the internet who say things you don't like?

Fucking ignore them and go on with enjoying everything else.

I've had multiple people threaten me over the internet with arguably worse things.

I could have gotten all bitchy and upset, but I decided to be a reasonable and mature adult and go "Wait, this person doesn't even know me, and I don't know them. Why the hell should I care what they say? Why don't I just enjoy myself and the people who actually respect me instead of wasting my precious time on some stranger with a chip on their shoulder? I mean, I literally have the power to not acknowledge what they say and enjoy my life to the fullest, instead of cutting out a part of it because I want to be a child about a very manageably situation? Why would I give this person what they want, which is obviously to upset me? How about no, how about they can stay mad and I can move on".

If someone says something like "I want to rape your parents" to me you know what i'd do? Nothing, because why do they deserve a reaction out of me? Why do they deserve my time? They don't, so I move on to things that do instead of whining about it.

Unless idiots somehow figure out how to master the art of advanced science and manifest their textual threats in physical forms in front of me, why should I even care? Why should anyone care? WORDS ARE WORDS, words are not guns, words are not blades, they can't jump out and touch you.


He isn't a teenager dealing with the harassment of fellow students at a school he has to go to and see daily, he's a grown ass man with a paying job and a family. He shouldn't care.

I'm not saying bullying isn't real, i'm not saying there shouldn't be repercussions. I am saying he shouldn't have even gave this man the time of day, and that this thread wasn't worth making.

I don't know Shaun Himmerick so I don't have any negative things to say about him, I just hope he learns how people work and how to deal with them like a mature person instead of folding as soon as someone makes a nasty remark.

Seriously what kind of logic is "I'm going to get upset, that'll show this random stranger that wanted me to get upset. I bet they'll think long and hard about this instead of not at all".

I get your point, but in this case, your point isn't correct. This isn't just about ignoring it.

Again, Shaun uses Twitter to post information & answer questions about MK. He does not have to do so....but he does. Then this lousy sack of cow dung comes along and ruins it for you, me and EVERY SINGLE MK FAN ON TWITTER.

Thanks for sharing your opinion but like Mr Johnson once said...IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK.........in this case. This turd needed flushed, he was flushed one way or another sooooooooo Mission: Accomplished.

You're making it sound like this grown ass man is a child who needs adults to come in and save him and put the pacifier back in his mouth.

You know what an adult would do? Report or ignore the man, and move on to the people that actually respect and care about them.

Boon, the man at the top, for a fact gets more shit tweets and messages, but you never see the man make some kind of silly debacle out of it. You see him go on and reply to his real fan's questions, and post what he likes, and enjoy the internet.

No. The guy who posted the threat didn't ruin it for everyone, Himmerick did. HE is the one that decided it was time to cancel his twitter and to stop giving fan's information. The guy who sent the threat is just an asshole who sent a threat.

Thos wasn't just some guy saying "fuck you bitch" he was talking about raping his wife. Even though it wont happen it's gotta hurt that someone would wanna do that.

You better shut up before I shoot you with my word gun.

No it doesn't.

I've had people threaten me, threaten my friends, and threaten my family with shit just as dumb.

Why care? Give me one good reason.

Here's your reason: Everyone handles everything differently.

You may not think it's a valid reason, but I assure you that these people do. They're neither right or wrong about it.

Different people react to things in different ways, just because it doesn't hurt you doesn't mean a man is childish if it hurts him.

 

[Pterodactyl]

It actually does in this case.

What kind of grown man in his right mind get's worked up over childish and immature insults, over the internet, from a stranger that they don't even know?

That's some middle school tween girl shit right there.

This is just another obnoxious first world problem.

You are a prime example of ignorance.

 

[Pterodactyl]

You know what ignorance really is? Not understanding how to deal with insults at the age of +18 years old.


This is just another obnoxious first world problem.

If you people really care about other's getting mistreated online, find someone suffering from an actual case of serious cyberbullying and do something about that.

Like I said these aren't insults, this is a guy saying he wants to rape his wife. Now if I called you an asshole that would be an insult.

 

[Fractured_Shadow]

@Pterodactyl @DeathInMyEyes I'm going to go on a limb here and say you are both neither fathers or husbands. The "just get over it" attitude is typically seen in people who have never been in a similar situation or who have trouble with empathy.

I wish you could be a police officer for one day. Just because you feel safe from online threats doesn't make them any less real. I cant tell you how many times I have seen stabbings/shootings/fights over shit that started online.

One thing I will say is that this is different for a very important reason... You say ignore it because they don't know you and they are just on the Internet... But its not the same in his case... Its very easy to accually carry out this threat... You know what his name is what he looks like where he works and that location... It would be to easy to follow him home and then show up after he leaves the next day... Not saying This guy would do that but things of this nature have happened... Maybe you are annonamous enough to feel safe... He may not be for good reason.. So your whole point is kinda invalid...

This thread is a rising shit storm

My close family is entirely women, I grew with only women in my house.

You think I've never heard strangers online say some fucked up shit about my ladies? I have, and you know what I thought about it? Nothing, because it was never and will never be worth my time.

I've seen stabbings/shootings/fights over shit online too, and you know what? Those people always knew each other to some degree, if even by proxy.

This is a stranger, nobody from nowhere. Some dickhead who can't even spell isn't going to some not-even-famous guy's house to fuck his wife because some obscure video game character isn't in a game.

Having seen my fair share of online threats, "i'ma fuck [x]" doesn't even qualify as remotely serious to me, especially not in this context.

Is it rude? Undoubtedly. Is it worth this fuss? Not even.

I know things of this nature happen.

But not in this context.

This dude said he'd fuck his wife is Reiko isn't in MKX.


Do you realize how ridiculous that statement is?


This isn't some cold calculating evil genius, this is a guy who can't even grasp proper grammar talking about a video game character barely anyone knows.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that idiot didn't even live in the same place as Himmerick anyway.


I've seen some really fucked up shit online, people posting things about other people, their private information, and spreading it carelessly. People posting/messaging pictures of weapons and tagging people in it to threaten them. But this? Some dick head saying he'd have sex with a guy's wife because of Reiko?

No.

Nooooope.

This is a joke. If you want to help someone out who is really being threatened online, I suggest looking elsewhere, i'm sure they need far more attention and support than Shaun.

He didn't have any info could live across the street... Thing is in general a lot of people are way to willing to let way to many things go... These idiots are in fact the ones out there raping people and killing people... I'm sure @Fractured_Shadow can back this up but the amount of people who go from making threats on the Internet to doing such things to people are growing pretty fast... These are real punishable things not to be swept under a rug... Like the quote in here everyone liked.. This is what these people are inside... Maybe they need help.. Maybe they need to know they will be punished... But stick your thumb up your ass and do nothing is never the way to go with deplorable behaviour and does not make anyone a tough guy..

A guy saying he'll fuck another guy's wife if Reiko, a video game character, isn't in Mortal Kombat X, a video game, just isn't a thing I can believe is an actual loaded threat.

There's a difference.

 

[GamerBlake90]

I am completely speechless that people are trying to write off Mr. Himmerick's decision as an overreaction to a situation that was by no means light-hearted. What is wrong with you guys?

It is no wonder I lost so much faith in this site's community...absolutely ridiculous.
