I'm getting pretty sick of this kind of claim. Like, do I believe he's been harassed? Yeah, that seems likely. Death threats? That's definitely possible. What I take issue with is the way it's brought up.
He frames that it's a campaign run by a particular individual targeting him, but there are no receipts. He's using it as a shield against critique, shutting down any discussion around this by pointing at something and screaming about how he's a big victim here.
Same thing the last time, a claim of coordinated attacks (of which there were none), and anyone who dared say "well thats not cool" were targeted, myself included.
Though I surprisingly didn't make it into this list, but considering my commenting on it since, I'd probably make it into their next one.
These claims seem like a go-to for anyone caught doing something they know they shouldn't have in a way they shouldn't have.
