• Thousands of young players staged in‑game demonstrations using written signs and avatar performances, generating viral videos across X and TikTok.
• Felca published screenshots of hostile messages, including explicit death threats, from users who falsely blame him for the platform’s decision.
• Authorities and experts, including U.S. Attorney General Liz Murrill, publicly supported the changes, citing a need for stronger parental controls and age checks.
