There's a couple of actors in my province that had a hard time finding work after playing a certain role because people were mad at them personally and producers didn't want to touch them with a 10' pole!
Because writing has no face, you can't show writing how much you hate it, because it doesn't change and has no feelings. Meanwhile an actor does. It's just stupid emotional stuff.
TBF, she did go on a tirad against players when the game was getting ciriticized. I found it weird that she took the criticism of the game's writing so personally despite her not being one of the writers.
Keep in mind that I'm not excusing the death theats. That shit isn't okay. I'm just pointing out why she may have been targeted for harassment.
