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.

‘Hate’ is a strong word, and hatred, in my mind, is an exhausting phenomenon. I almost suggested TIKHistory, but as grating, dishonest and overrated as TIK is, I still wouldn’t unexaggeratedly say that I ‘hate’ him. He is obnoxious sometimes, but he does not inspire visceral reactions in me either.

So if I had to say that I hate any YouTubers, it would be The Amazing Atheist. He is so vile, loud, irrational, and obnoxious that he makes TIK look good by comparison.

Amazing Atheist and ThunderF00t popped into my brain immediately.

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.

Thunderf00t has apparently tried to worm his way back into the public consciousness by making tons of videos making fun of my-hero, but nah, I remember what that fucker used to be, and so can everyone else by searching for "feminism" or "anita" on his channel.

CW:SAI hate The Amazing Atheist because of his disgusting book where he says ”I don't understand why women think SA is so bad” and the time he tried to deliberately trigger an SA victim.

TAA was also big into the whole anti-feminism/anti-SJW garbage a decade ago, and fuck everyone who was ever involved in that.
