imo "getting their finger bitten off" has the same effect as "getting their head bitten off" which is an idiom everyone uses all the time (you might be ESL so just explaining)

making it "finger" or "fingers" makes sense in this context because we're all typing, not speaking

it's just an idiom, not an expression of violence

+1

blows my mind that people in a hobby about reading and writing don't understand what an idiom is or how it works

(for those anons, it doesn't literally blow my mind, my skull is still intact - just in case you need the clarification spelled out for you!)

i'm an actual esl and i know lots of idioms including that one

they need a better excuse

it still doesn't make it an expression of violence

the point

you

the point isn't going over people's heads.

your point is you think that phrase was too extreme a reaction to what you think it was being used for. which given all the shit the player in question shared in their post talking about the context surrounding their situaiton, i'm surprised at their restraint, tbh.

you are desperately twisting this to be "they said they were gonna bite fingers off because of a polite dm" but that's not a true read of the situation, it's deliberate misrepresentation in order to grudgewank.

so it's not a statement of violence, it's not a threat, and it's not an overreaction. it's none of the things.
