I was intrigued by this, because I always wonder if people who are calling for death or life imprisonments in the heat of the moment will think better when they are considering an issue in a relative state of calm. I did a quick survey of Reddit threads that had to do with cheating criminalization itself, rather than people commenting on instances of people being caught cheating. Fortunately the vast majority of upvoted comments (besides jokey commentary) are anti criminalization. Representative highly upvoted comments: "Cheating is shit and shows no integrity but making it a crime in online gaming?... Idk man..." Or: "This is asinine, I have NEVER been in a game with a hacker and thought that they deserved to be in the same place as a rapist or murderer." I think you'll find a lot of in-the-moment raging over hackers, but when people are considering it as an issue they are more cautious. But it could also be that different populations are interacting with different types of topics. Caution: extremely unscientific five minute study above :)
