Death threats to Ranveer, rape threats to Apoorva: Absolutely sickening
The internet can be a dark and twisted place, and sometimes it seems like the worst of humanity comes out to play. In recent days, two prominent figures in the Indian entertainment industry have been subjected to horrific threats, leaving many of us feeling shocked, outraged, and utterly sickened.
Comedian Sahil Shah took to social media to express his disgust and frustration at the kind of culture that is apparently being perpetuated online. In a series of tweets, he wrote, “Ranveer getting death threats… Apoorva getting rape threats… Is this the culture we’re trying to protect?” He added, “Absolutely sickening… He hypothetically spoke about parents… Why realistically involve someone’s parents?”
For those who may not be aware, Ranveer Allahbadia, a popular YouTuber, has been receiving death threats from people who are allegedly upset about his involvement in the India’s Got Latent controversy. The online feud has gotten ugly, with both sides trading barbs and insults on social media. In a recent tweet, Ranveer shared his concerns, saying, “I’m getting death threats from people saying they want to hurt my family. This is not okay.”
But it’s not just Ranveer who has been targeted. Apoorva, another YouTuber, has also been subjected to rape threats, which is absolutely despicable. It’s appalling to think that someone would stoop so low as to make such heinous threats against another human being, let alone a woman.
What’s truly disturbing is that these threats are not just empty words. They have a real impact on the people who are receiving them, causing them to live in fear for their safety and the safety of their loved ones. It’s unacceptable that in this day and age, we still have to deal with such vile and disgusting behavior.
Sahil Shah’s tweets highlight the absurdity of the situation. Why are people resorting to such extreme and violent threats? What’s the point of involving someone’s parents in a dispute? It’s like they’re trying to escalate the situation to a whole new level, and it’s terrifying to think about the kind of mentality that drives someone to behave in this way.
As a society, we need to do better. We need to condemn this kind of behavior and promote a culture of respect, empathy, and kindness. We need to teach our children that it’s not okay to threaten or harm others, and that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
The fact that these threats are being made against people who are simply trying to express their opinions or share their ideas is a stark reminder of the fragility of free speech in our country. It’s a wake-up call to all of us to stand up for our right to express ourselves, even if we disagree with others.
Ultimately, it’s up to each and every one of us to create a culture of respect and empathy. We need to call out hate speech and bullying wherever we see it, and we need to support those who are being targeted by such behavior.
Let’s all take a cue from Sahil Shah and express our outrage and disgust at this kind of behavior. Let’s stand together and say that we will not tolerate hate speech or violence in our online communities. Let’s create a culture of kindness, compassion, and respect, and let’s make the internet a safer and more positive place for everyone.
