TW: Death Wishing

This shit is not okay, and this person should have known better. That being said, Mike was also a huge manchild in this situation and handled it abysmally.

I have voiced my issues with the Bendy devs in the past. Let me first clarify that my issues lie with the way they handled Bendy as a franchise, not with their personal lives. I've only ever meant to criticize their actions concerning Bendy, Showdown and Kindlybeast, as there hasn't been any movement on the public front concerning conversation with fans about several things that have happened, making it hard to believe that the mistakes they made won't be repeated or won't grow like a hydra.

However, it isn't acceptable to hop on Twitter or any public platform and wish death on someone. I don't know how old this individual is, but unless they're 3 years old they should be able to grasp the concept of not publicly wishing death on another person.

But of course, to add another layer to this, Mike handled this poorly and reactionarily, and I'm starting to get fed up with his behavior as a developer with a large online presence.

As you'll notice, Mike quote retweeted this individual onto his main account. This led a rabid section of his fanbase to go after this user, causing them to private their account and leave "imsorry" in their bio. While I do agree that some of this fallout is just natural consequences, Mike is a public figure who has had YEARS of experience and practice navigating these types of issues. While death wishing/death threats are NEVER ACCEPTABLE, Mike should also know that blocking this individual could have also solved the problem instantly. Instead, he aired this out publicly and knew damn well that a rabid portion of his fanbase was going to try and fight his battles for him, and subsequently opted out of Twitter (as indicated in his response.) Let's also not forget that Mike has a history of volatile internet presences that generally end in him deleting (for example, his old Twitter, or even just the old Reddit AMA where comments were deleted and unnecessary drama cropped up.)

Two things can be true at once- this random Twitter user should NEVER have made that post, and Mike should've handled the situation better seeing as he has YEARS of experience under his belt. Mike and Meatly keep repeating the same damn chronically online bullshit, and frankly I don't know why people keep giving them a pass in that regard. It's frustrating.

I don't expect Mike or TheMeatly to ever like me or consider my existence. Even so, I'm hopeful they conduct their personal lives in a much better manner and have good relationships with those around them.

I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the social side of Bendy, but I'm starting to get worn down at the lack of change for the better and the increase in dramatic outbursts.
