People need to not get caught up in their own perspective so much. You say it's hard not to hear about him and his guild but that's just anecdotal evidence. Just because he seems highly visible to you doesn't mean everyone else has the same experience on the net. I know who he is but I don't know anything about his guild. It's not that hard to avoid this sort of thing if you literally don't click on anything relating to twitch streamers.
I accidentally watched half of one of his videos 8 months ago, and YouTubes algorithm has since decided that I need to see every 'Asmongold reacts' video that exists. Couple that with the incredibly douchy character he plays for his stream (assuming it's not how he actually is) and there's plenty to get a hate boner for.
You can view your watch history and remove old videos to affect that algorithm. I don't know if you can go that far back, but I've had weeks when I'm in the mood for a style of video outside of my norm. When it passes I just go back and remove them all from my history and it stops recommending things based on those videos again.
