So, my two cents as someone who is more neutral, but I feel like the OP has a point and there seems some kind of misunderstanding.
I don't think OP says, that Larian deserves the death threats itself, but it's the risk you take if you decide to cater a specific crowd with your marketing (like what scenes they show, what pictures they use or even if someone from Larian posts "mr kojima please f*ck the bear"). These people are horny, fanatic, aggressive, obsessive over characters and to some extent insane. Now, before anyone wants to jump at my throat, there are lot of good fans (mostly those you can meet here), but when it comes to social media, the good people are the minority. Believe me, I really tried to connect to people on X, so I checked a lot of profiles and most of then were aggressive, obsessive and so on. I don't want to be the one to dictate how they shoud live their life but they don't stop there, they willingly attack others. On top of that I found out that the most bizarre, aggressive or spiteful people had something in common: neurodiversity (and something else I wont mention because I dont want to end up at the pyre). And now, before anyone of you want to attack me, I don't say that everyone who is neurodiverse is part of the aforementioned 0.1%.
In this community, no matter what happens or what someone says, it's always leading to a point where someone calls another one homophobe (or queerphobe, transphobe, racist, ableist etc.).
You need examples?
1. There are people who claim that SH has to be a Lesbian and that's a fact and canon and that everyone who says otherwise is dumb and homophobe.
2. The battle between Minthara and Halsin fans, who called each other lesbophobe, homophobe, queerphob and even ableist for having their own headcanons.
3. If you don't like a companion there are people who call you all of what I've already mentioned above or - in case of Wyll - racist.
4. People claim that Larian forces Astarion to be in a relationship with a female Tav while he is obviously gay - at least according to them.
and so on...
Another point I give the OP credit for is that a lot of content they added after patch 3 was never really asked for on here or Discord, but you kind find thousands of posts about kisses and stuff on X and that's what Larian listened to. I mean, if Larian decided to listen to people on X AND to feedback on the forum and Discord, that would be fine, but they don't do that. There is no point in denying that Larian somewhat failed to deliver promised things just to give the crowd more kisses and hugs.
Also, everyone on this forum seems to be okay with calling others dumb, weird, crazy, homophobe and stuff if they don't accept others opinions but they fail to realize that makes them a part of the problem and not the solution.
Instead of blaming and reacting with hate to a questionable post, you could try to ask about more information and what kind of information the person is trying to transport.
