Stupid ass fans.

This is why idiots should never be allowed to use the internet.

Smh stupid ass people.

Wow, is the MK community THAT crazy? I hope they arrest the mofo.

Yeah...when you threaten someones wife.....you're automatically a piece of shit.

Hell no lol that's just one random ass hole, his moronic actions don't represent the entire community :)

This is why soft people shouldnt use the internet ????

Damn that's crazy. I wonder if he only decided to leave twitter because of fear that this guy would actually go after them.... which could confirm Reiko not being on the roster?

I know that Reiko's confirmation isn't the matter that should be discussed here but I just thought it might play into how he is going about handling the situation. Hopefully he comes back after some time and something happens to the idiot that was sending the threats.

No, Shaun is not "soft." It is not acceptable in any way,shape or form to threaten anyone's family especially over something as trivial as a video game character.

Wow, just pathetic, assuming he's not a troll, how can obsession and fanaticism go that far.

Honestly, Shaun should have just asked him "How much money do you make?".

There are a million things he could have said but he's a nice guy so he wouldn't. I hope someone takes action against that idiot.

The internet
the only way someone can threaten someones family and not having the shit kicked out of them.

Sorry but threatening someone's wife over a trivial shit is just unacceptable. This is not about being soft, this is about being reasonable.

This fucking asshole is certainly NOT a fan, just a pathetic male internet thug with anger issues.
The dirtbag's name is Omar King (@KingOdenie) if you want to give him a piece of your mind.

seen worse on MKO.

No, you haven't.

Fucking asshat.

The moral implications, entitled attitude, and complete asininity of behavior like this aside, shit like this guarantees you'll never get what you want.

Look what happened with the goddamned Batgirl Joker cover.

Fucking sincerely hope in fifty years they hand you the license to use the internet when you're eighteen after passing an IQ test or some shit. Stupid manchildren.

While I agree that MANY Mortal Kombat fans are the primary examples of the absolute scum of the earth, this hoodrat takes the cake.

Threats like this on twitter are potentially grounds for law enforcement investigation. In this case it probably wouldn't be considered "credible" because he doesn't give specific information (i.e. address, phone number, name of his wife) but the more people that report this POS the more chance he'll have of getting his ass booted off twitter.

The right to free speech is protected, but people need to learn you can't just spout shit like that and get away with it.

This is not "exclusive" to the MK community. It's more of a "disease" of the internet where there a people who think they are allowed to do anything on the net.

After actually reading the tweets, while still fucked up, it's not nearly as bad as the OP made it sound like.

Disgraceful. Assholes like this give the community a bad name.

What a cunt.

^^ Exactly that. It's a by-product of the internet generation. It's why situations like "Gamegate" have gotten so out of hand, and why now calling yourself a "gamer" is somehow considered a negative - it's because people on the internet feel like they can just get away with shit like this without consequences, and in most cases that is accurate. So what we have is a whole generation of entitled, spoiled, pathetic wretches that spend all their free time on the internet projecting their self-hatred on others.

The next generation is going to be one of the lowest eras for humanity.

I now have honestly seen the most hypocritical people on this earth, no hate towards anybody on this site, I like a lot of people here I just think most of the people who said "Oh what an asshole" or "Oh look that guy is fucking stupid and Shaun did nothing wrong" are just hypocrites.

Why did we need a thread for this? Shaun isn't the only one who gets attacked on the internet but because he is one of the people working at NRS we make a thread for him? Fucking pathetic.

I bet you a million dollars that if some random person on this site gets attacked none of the hypocrites who are kissing Shaun's ass would bat an eye.

It's really sad, I don't give two shits about what happened to Shaun, if he is a little kid who cries foul at some random person who said something bad to him, why should I care?

It's not like that Dumbass who said something about Shaun's family actually has the balls to do anything or is actually hurting Shaun in any way shape or form.

I'm sorry but no, I'm not sympathetic with attention whores, so if I post on my twitter someone who said something like that to me, would any of you make a thread for me? Nope. So why make a thread for this guy? Because he works at NRS? Yep, just hypocrites.

I'm going to say what I said in another thread, the guy who said that to Shaun's family is obviously a dumbass but Shaun isn't smart either.
