"Not much different than what you see on the internet everyday"
An Australian based game reviewer has recently been sued for defamation because sexually harassing comments were left on her video and she tried to talk to the commenters. One of the boys claimed that his "threats" were meerly jokes and "not much different than what you see on the internet everyday".
