That is stupid, why would you want to threaten someone if you are a fan?

Just to get attention probably... sicko.

The full story is that he believed an internet rumor that she was engaged in adultery, and thus wanted to threaten her because he couldn't accept her doing such a thing.

His time would be better spent looking for a job instead of threatening the parents of a voice actor he claims he likes. I guess some people don’t know how to prioritize what’s really important in their lives.

Isn't that what he got done for?

I gather "threatening someone's parents" doesn't go over well in your resume.

I'd make a religious joke, but that just seems too easy and run-of-the-mill. What else is sex related that we can make fun of?

Another talented seiyuu threatened by a loser. Golly, being a celebrity can really suck at times. Like Vicserr said, this reinforces our creepy otaku stereotype.

Another example of how people should start minding their own business.
And the victim, a woman doing an earnest work whose personal life shouldn't be involved.

Otaku acting like otaku. Oh, how dare they?! </sarcasm>

Now I don't think what he did was right (its pretty messed up) but I find it ridiculous how foreign anime viewers complain about Japanese anime fans making them look bad.
