Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[it-is-known ], but some suck at statistically significant levels.

Thunderf00t used to be cool when he was dunking on YECs, then he completely lost it over Sarkisian. All the problems he pointed out YECs did, he then turned around and did for feminism. I have no idea how you can have a master's in physics (maybe even a PhD? I haven't paid attention) yet be so misogynistic.

It got so bad that even the few fans he had left were begging him to cut back on the Sarkeesian hate. It felt almost compulsive or pathological to him, like he was a jealous ex who was just obsessed with her. Last I heard he was still making content about her a decade after the internet forgot about her.

JFC, still? Yeah he always gave off stalker energy. I'd legit worry for her safety if she was ever in a room with him. His obsession with her is scary.

I think he is less upfront about it now, but as recently as 2020 I think he was still making videos about her.
