I don't think that Nazi shit or promotion of terrorism falls under "mean things on the internet" that would be over-trivializing, and I do say that because I have indeed seen many people doing these things in my years on Steam, as well as encouraging violence towards me for being a girl and having "used to have been a boy" (being transgender).

are they "mean things" and are they on the internet? If so it's mean things on the internet, this doesn't mean it won't cause IRL damage, but until it transitions from hateful words to actionable threats it's just an occupational hazard of the internet.

Are you really sitting here trying to excuse nazism, death threats, and promotion of terrorism?
