We last checked this against X's page on .
How to fix it
Remove or rephrase the threat or wish of harm. Make non-literal intent obvious, or cut the line.
Good to know
Allowed: hyperbole between friends, trash talk about video games and sports, figures of speech, satire, quotes from books, films, lyrics or poetry used to express a view. 'I hope he dies' about a real person counts even as a joke.
