I don't think it has anything to do with women or misogyny, it's just the nature of the internet. People get silly threats like this all the time on Twitter, they just don't typically call the cops over it.
The idea that these people are misogynists (people who HATE women as a group) is basically completely and utterly untrue. Most popular internet celebs receive hate mail, death threats and general derision on a daily basis, both men and women receive it and both men and women dish it out. And it's never because these people hate women (or men) as an entire group, it's just anonymity plus some motivation to be a dick results in some people taking it too far.
The only difference is that Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) have an agenda to push so they use this as "evidence" for their cause while at the same time painting ALL gamergate supporters this way and using this method as a way to silence legitimate criticism.
It's been happening for like a decade to many more people and they take it in stride because with fame comes attention both negative and positive, only these people "milk it", they claim they're victims in one breath but then they continue to deliberately engage in activity which causes them to be targets and they do so knowing the result of that decision. It's completely manufactured.
If you're still falling for this nonsense you need a sharp wake up call to reality.
