with some becoming so angry as to begin delivering death threats to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada on his own Twitter account.

Every time people in Asia are angry at someone in particular, they send death threats.
It's like the Asian equivalent of "f--- you."

Some DJ joked that a boy-band looked like lesbians and he got death threats.
People discovered a guy had years old MySpace comments saying "korea is so gay" and they sent him death threats.

Death threats are actually taken more seriously in the US, but not in Asia.

Quote from Athde;150536:
Complaining about this stuff is like complaining about somebody having invented the gun. There is no point to it. It has already been done.

You could say that about anything.
I stole your wallet. Don't complain about it, it's already done.
I blew up your car. Don't complain about it, it's already done.
I killed your entire family... get the point?

Complaining does exactly what it's meant to do - show your discontent. In cases like this, it's also to tell the person they're complaining about that he did something wrong. And perhaps remedy the situation somehow.
