These types of news articles being posted all over various forums seem to be indicating a type of panic I haven't seen in crypto before. The vote that these articles are based on can be found here:

Currently at the time of this post it shows that 2,793,817 ETH have voted yes for a hard fork and 453,245 have voted no. This out of a total number of ETH that exist at 81,885,148. The fact is only a small percentage of ETH have voted. The fact is the word unanimous means "without opposition; with the agreement of all people involved". Maybe rudimentary math skills and language skills are considered obsolete by some folks.  

The article also ignores  the fact that miners decide to adopt a hard fork (not voters).

A quality coin should not require deception to encourage adoption. This type of behaviour is damaging to cryptocurrency adoption in general.
