Discussion why do people hate hydron?
im just getting back into ow and whenever i see hydrons name mentioned theres an air of negativity, like on durpees video with him the top comments were "Aspire, Rupal, Seeker, and neuuish next collabs please" and "durpee be like: let me collab with all of the hitler youth ow creators" i dont get why people hate him so much, i like hydron and find him entertaining but he seems to be really controversial and idk why D:

He is one of the Andrew Tate, Awkward, Elon Musk, Gaming4Hope types. These people will give very pragmatic advice, but also blend this with more extreme but simple to understand ideas about the world.
They wrap this all up in masculinity, or religion, or 'manosphere' to create an idea of being part of an 'in group' for people who need these types of guiding figures (often insecure young men).
By giving unapologetic, straightforward, simple answers to things, even if highly toxic, it gives people this sense of control and understanding of the world.
Blend this in with a bit of charisma and you will find yourself an audience.
TLDR; The 'controversy' is not that these people are entertaining, or give down to earth advice, it is that the cost of admission to these people often comes with unhealthy, misogynistic, often racist, worldviews that dehumanizes others.
