"They hated him because he told them the truth"

I agree, there are tons of different approaches a DM should take instead of just killing their party for no reason.

The main one would be to have a discussion with their players about what kind of campaign they want to run, so that everyone is on the same page.

Everyone at the table has the right to have fun, players and DM alike. But it should be a team effort.

I never get more hate than when I say "hey, this toxic DM behaviour is bad and you shouldn't do it." This time, it's "responding to violent PCs with an unreasonably powerful NPC out of spite just reinforces a player vs DM mentality."

See also "the illusion of choice isn't a brilliant trick, it just removes player agency" and "if one person's idea of fun doesn't match the rest of the group, remove that person, even if that person is you."
