One user in /r/falcom calls on the community to stop doxxing and making death threats to employees after a publishing company sends cease and desist letter to a fan translation team to stop translating their unreleased games.

My first srd post.

The post in question. https://old.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/x8dw94/this_needs_to_stop/

The drama surrounds the entire subreddit and not just one specific post.

Here’s the context

The video game publisher NISA sent a cease and desist on a fan translation called Zero Field on an unreleased game. The fan base was extemely upset and threatened to boycott the publisher, and review bomb their next game Trails from Zero which will release September 27.

There were also reports of 4 Chan and Twitter threatening to attack NISA. They also organized an attack on their scheduled stream on September 7 and even posted personal information on the employees and there were also reports of death threats sent to them. There were several threads posted in that sub with evidence but they ended up removed by the mods. I’ll locate deleted threads in the archives.

If you look at the stickied post in that thread, you will see the reason why this thread was removed because at that point 4chan was already organizing an attack, according to said post.

Due to restrictions and moderation on their twitch stream, their raid was for the most part unsuccessful. Their twitch raid required accounts to have a phone verification, and a following of 30 minutes. Their stream autofilters words like hajimari, Kuro and reverie, and also Zero Field, the name of the fan translation group. Any one who says any of the filtered words would find their chat in the spam filter and instantly banned from the stream.

However, their YouTube stream remains unmoderated. There were reports from posters and the original post below saying that users were doxxing employees on stream and threatening to doxx users who buy the game.

This led to one user making a thread calling for the community to stop the doxxing and death threats of the employees. The thread in question is here.
