James Rolfe/AVGN?
I haven't watched the AVGN in years, but I do know he's friends with Mike Matei (who did the intro drawings for his show and has made various appearances) who is a racist shithead. People found old cartoons drawn by him (that are horribly mask off racist), and he's never apologized for them. Apparently James is perfectly fine hanging out with a guy like that.
If someone sits down with 4 chuds, there are now 5 chuds at that table.
Please welcome every resident of the United States of America!
I think there are some valid criticisms of Rolfe even beyond how he hung out with Matei for literal decades (he drew those edgelord comics when he was about 25, btw). Apparently, he stiffed many of his friends, like the guy who came up with the AVGN theme song, on pay.
Some of his fandom are screaming pieces of chud shit, but maybe he comes close.
One of the most graphically violent haters I ever got on this site (all in defense of abusing workers to the point of them needing therapy while making "realistic" modern Mortal Kombat treats), one that wished me a particularly violent self-inflicted death, had AVGN as an avatar.
