I've been threatened. Nobody's done shit to back it up. I'd call that lucky, except that most people don't experience those things either. It's the other way around, I'm sorry you've had the misfortune.

Never going to carry a firearm, thanks.
I only carry pepper spray, sometimes. I have not ever been physically harassed knock on wood. Threats are just threats. If someone was going to hurt me they would have done it.
No problem. Obviously won't do any good if you don't apply consequences, so whatever you decide to say stick to it.
Not to drag you for it publicly, the voice is rough, but with only 2 weeks of practice of course it would be. I recall about 3 years into my transition (and 6 total years of practice in) my brother said hey you sound a lot better. And I was like, thanks? He went a super long time not commenting on it and then dropped that on me lol.
Anyway sorry you're going through that. Parents all deal with this in uniquely shitty ways. Best you can do, IMO, is enforce boundaries:
I don't want to be talked to this way. You're being judgemental rather than supportive. When I asked for help before, you coldly rejected me. At this rate I will fully lose trust in you and stop listening to you entirely. This is the one and only warning. If you keep up your erratic and insulting behavior I will stop talking to you. (Last bit works better if you're fully independent)

It's crazy though because I see people mark videos that released like 30 minutes ago. I need to start doing my part
That's why I started my opinion with "one of the things" that makes good art. Another set you clearly pointed out is time and place. The fact is that people do not value negative outcomes or feelings. I think being aware of it, and why you're annoyed or feel hate, is very important. The thing that annoys you about tree carvings tells me what you care about. Defacement of nature and public monuments is also a statement and also art whether you enjoy it or not. There is always something to glean from the negative.
No cure. Just the ever present void stopped only by the insistence that other people like me and need me so I should stick around for them if not for myself. It's another day to make someone else happy even if I'm not.
One of the characteristics of good art, to me, is how strongly it makes somebody feel. Any feeling. If a work of art annoys you, that too should be appreciated. In the same way that an actor who plays a character that makes you HATE them should be admired. That is not only a difficult thing to accomplish but also the least appreciated. If all characters satisfy your personal hangups and pet peeves, then every character is the same person.
Rejoice that you are annoyed by something. That says something about you as much as the work of art
