Why is booting the people making the rape and death threats off the platform not the feasible and sensible option?

Why is not making changes to the platform that enable harassment by people making the rape and death threats not the feasible and sensible option?

Why is the constant response on here for the people on the receiving end of rape and death threats to modify their behavior?

Why should someone have to quit their gig because of other people being assholes? That's just stupid.

Why is walking away neither feasible or sensible?

Because the person receiving the threats are not the problem. They are not the one who should isolate themselves. Doing so would be a win for the harrasser.

Why is it not more sensible to reduce the ability for people to make such threats or hold them accountable for the threats? Why you gotta go after the threat recipients?
