I'm more surprised that John Lennon hasn't been mentioned. Great lyricist and talented with the piano and guitar. Hugely influential musician. Poster child for peace, love and harmony. Also a wife beater, emotionally neglectful and abusive towards his eldest son, incredibly arrogant, and frequently hypocritical. He improved somewhat towards the end of his life, but was pretty shitty up until his murder.

Who?  Do you mean one of the people behind Attack on Titan?  I think that's what you meant.

By the way, I think we'd be remiss if nobody mentioned Mel Gibson.  Good actor, good director, terrible person.

That's Spoony. I actually enjoy his reviews, but didn't post some rape-y stuff on Twitter once?

Thomas Kinkade conned a bunch of art dealers/gallery owners forcing a lot of them out of business. He may have also been embezzling money from his own company and scamming all the old ladies who bought his crap.

I don't know about Spoony, all I really remember is his absolutely abhorrent fanbase that takes everything he says as gospel truth (when he's saying shit to be funny) and the fact that he left/was let go from TGWTG over a breakdown of some sort and only recently started showing up again.

No he's been around for awhile.  Just, the whole melt-down thing was both chemical and losing his long time girlfriend.  Luckily he's in a much better place mentally and physically.  But he's still a douche-bag.

Ironbite-his fanbase is worse.

Long story short, he posted a lot of rather bad rape jokes (not even the kind that you feel bad for laughing at; they were just plain bad and offensive) related to a female coworker from TGWTG. And while he got called out for being so tastelessly offensive and mean and made a public apology, Lupa (another TGWTG chick) got into an argument with him about it and Spoony went completely batshit nuts. He went into a self-destructive "Everyone is thin-skinned and it's not my fault" spiral that ended with him getting suspended from the website, then leaving; officially the departure wasn't due to the controversy, but pretty much nobody believes that.

It was a joke, just extremely poorly done. It's possible to make that kind of thing humorous (as seen here), but simply making a statement of "Imma kidnap and rape you" has no humor. There's no punchline, no connection to anything that could turn it into something funny. He's just expecting it to be funny standing on its own. Rape jokes are almost impossible to make funny, and Spoony never even came close.

It's part of the reason PewDiePie got such a hatedom: he not only made a stupid amount of rape jokes, but they weren't even jokes. He just said stuff like "Imma rape you" over and over like an elementary schooler who learned a dirty word.
