I agree with you wholly on the first part; the only reason she's even remotely popular considering her objectionally terrible arguments is the victim card. I also don't like how you say "you guys" as if BLF and all the people reading the post are somehow responsible. There is 0% chance any of us have had a meaningful contribution towards her popularity and I also severely doubt all the people reading this topic have made death and rape threats. Probably not even some; there might be a few people tops who would have the nerve to do that kind of thing.
And yes, she did fake some of her death threats, though it's unknown how much.
