If this was done against you or someone you liked, you would not make those arguments. If they replaced spez with a rainbow flag you would immediately identify it as a hate crime and a call to violence, because it fucking is. You can argue that spez isnt harmed by these kinds death threats and should just allow them on r/place but at least be honest with your fucking opinions.
It’s pixels on a screen. It’s a username on a mascot, not a photo with a real human name.
Can you tell the difference between a social media identity vs. an actual human?
Yes we all know who it actually refers to in real life, but the fact that it represents cutting the head off of Snoo is a metaphor meaning people would like to cut Steve out of being Reddit CEO.
Like I said to start with though, in the long run it’s just pixels on a screen. Don’t let it get you upset.
Words are just letters arranged in order but if I start writing racial slurs or telling people to kill themselves then I would get banned from pretty much any functional social platform.
It’s Snoo. Snoo isn’t even real, it’s a mascot. It means about as much as popping the head off of a Barbie doll.
The pixels as drawn also represent neither thing you just stated, unless there’s some weird incident in history I’m unaware of where someone somehow cut their own head off…
