Replying to:Ralph (Developer)i like a good ol "i'll strangle you to death with my bare
yeah, that one always works and is direct and straight to the point, but it’s not very fun or brutal enough. personally, when i am devising new ways of threatening people over the internet i always focus on these principles:
1. specificity
2. brutality
3. shock value
each one of these is equally as important. specificity is important because when you threaten someone, you want them to know what you’re going to do and how. brutality and shock value go hand in hand, and are important for similar reasons. brutality is essential because you want to instill dread or fear in your victim. shock value is a necessity because you want to shock your victim, because shocking people makes it more fun for you, the threatener. instead of saying something like “im going to kill you” say something like “im going to slit your wrists, rip your tendons out, hang you by your tendons and listen to you gurgle on your own blood until you choke.” its morbidly specific, extremely brutal and the shock value is there. so when you threaten people online, don’t be afraid to have a little dark fun with it.
