In the worst\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/21dfMItVKe\">pic.twitter.com\/21dfMItVKe<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Harada_TEKKEN\/status\/1689456340564111361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Harada, when these kinds of threats are made, several things can happen. If there is an event nearby that you have to attend, the event manager may take the threats seriously and increase security, increasing the cost of the event, or even cancel your participation in the event. <strong>It is also possible that, if the lawyers, founders or board members hear about it, they may ask you not to include specifically what you have been threatened about precisely because they do not like to be intimidated.<\/strong> And if, in addition, the person speaks in the first person plural, implying that it is not just their opinion, but that of the entire community, it makes it more likely that all of the above will occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fan was communicating using some social media language, but the consequences outside of social media are very real. And this is how Harada conveys them. <strong>No one likes to be threatened, and when we are talking about people with certain power or responsibility, that can lead to decisions that have negative repercussions not only for the person who is threatening, but for the entire community.<\/strong> Even if he was joking. So let&#8217;s listen to Harada: no threats, not even as a joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some of the links added in the article are part of affiliate campaigns and may represent benefits for Softonic.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tekken producer has had enough of the humorous threats on Twitter and has decided to explain, very clearly, why people should avoid them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9268,"featured_media":244130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1018],"tags":[4992,4993,1379,4428],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-244129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","tag-burning-hammer","tag-katsuhiro-harada","tag-tekken","tag-wrestling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9268"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244129"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":318583,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244129\/revisions\/318583"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244129"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=244129"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=244129"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=244129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
