He called them out for cultural appropriation, and people online started sending them threats. He clarified to everyone that although he’s not aligned with the company, people need to back down. Threats are obviously inappropriate.
It is wrong that we live in a world where some people's automatic response to anything they don't like is a death threat. People who think that way need to be educated, treated, or incarcerated. And we need to stop providing them with any form of enabling or encouragement.
Liu continues to impress me as a thoughtful and level-headed person. He seems to be dealing with his sudden fame with unusual grace.
