This community isn't immune from that.
Going off-topic, do realize that celebrities and many people who work in public receive death threats.

Like every person on the view has probably received a death threat by now.

I agree that the FF community isn't immune from such behaviour, but Scott and perhaps others need to learn what it means to make yourself a public figure.

A death threat to someone well known is different when sent to someone private that is unknown by the general public - because it means it likely came from someone who knows them personally.

Asmongold, for example, probably has gotten many death threats, and perhaps even Yoshi-P.

We don't hear about it because they know what being a public figure entails and have effectively learned to ignore such things.

Being a celebrity can be very fun on the way up, as you gain followers and non-stop positive.

But it's the ones that can handle the criticism that learn to survive. It requires a very thick skin.

Perhaps for the first time ever, Scott is experiencing a reaction that is more negative than usual. His video even still has more likes than dislikes.

Scott is the person who had decided to focus on the negativity (loss aversion effect), and there's a good chance he will fail in this buisness unless he learns how to move forward.
