At what point do we know that the persistent death threats are just kids being obnoxious and no one is going to be hurt? At what point would you personally be comfortable if your inbox was being blasted with threats of violence? And the only kind of xenophobia is the explicit, aggressive kind? So would you say the only kind of sexism is the kind where you must explicitly prohibit women from doing certain activities or holding certain roles? And the only kind of racism is the kind that existed in the American south prior to the late 60's?

Well, a partial answer to that may be: you never know whether the death threats are real or not until something like what is happening in Bangladesh happens. But once bloggers actually get hacked to death, you definitely do know, for sure. I don't think anyone would or should feel comfortable getting death threats via any medium. However, I know that I'd feel a lot less comfortable getting the same death threats in Bangladesh than in, say, Sweden, all other things being equal. Also, please stop bringing your bias to this discussion. I understand you're passionately on the "anti-GG" side of this debate. I'm not. I really don't care for either side. I'm sure you can make your points without turning this into yet another pointless threat arguing about "SJWs vs misogynist assholes". Let's not bring this crap to HN.
