Sadly, this is normal online. Many people with some sort of exposure online will receive death threads. Some communities are more prone to it than others.
Pokémon, Sonic, Osu! and many Gacha Game communities, for example, have an unusual amount of crazy fans. When you attract their attention you will become a topic in their communities.
The list for game communities keeps going on, too lol. Some communities are way more toxic than others for some reason (looking at Undertale and League).
Ironically, communities with super hard games tend to be nicer and more willing to help out like Dark Souls or Assetto Corsa.
