Don't you find that to be dismissive? I mean if we're already deciding for the people who valid their feelings are we could also say the response hasn't been that harsh because it's only harassment, it's not like there's been an actual murder attempt on the developer. Maybe the developer should also stop being melodramatic?

Or you know, maybe have some empathy and understand that different people can have different emotional reactions to the same thing. I can understand where you're coming from because I don't really care either. I think the developer already got told they're an asshole for doing what they did and for me that's that. But I also understand not everyone is as unbothered as I am. Some are going to react more strongly and the developer has given them multiple reasons to react that strongly, to the point where the developer has stoked that fire to get an even bigger response. Of course there's a limit to the reaction, for example death threats and such are a step too far and those shouldn't be condoned, but I'm not going to act like I know better how someone else should feel about this situation. In the end we're emotional beings not soulless husks so let people process their emotions.
