A variety of allegations have been leveled against YouTuber Gary "Nerdrotic." On August 3, 2024, X user @MinuteNerdNews shared a series of tweets, in which they referred to Nerdrotic as a "piece of s**t," who, according to them, has been "allowed to operate for far too long."
In the thread, the X user accused the YouTuber of "selling outrage and anger," and described Nerdrotic as a "grifter":
"Before I focus my attention solely on this garbage, let us first focus our attention on the explanation of what it is he and his little grifter friends do. That's right folks - they sell you outrage and anger. This is what they do. They make mountains out of molehills to capitalize on an insignificant frustration their target demographic might be feeling and heighten the issue rather than tame it," wrote X user @MinuteNerdNews.

X user @MinuteNerdNews went on to say that the former comic book retailer only praised MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movies that featured "White, male, and straight" protagonists:
"But of course, he has praise for the M-She-U! But only when it involves movies where the main protagonist is White, male, and straight. (Marvel has only experienced one failure in its entire history as lackluster as some of the box office was in P4 with 2 movies crossing $1B)," wrote X user @MinuteNerdNews.
The X user then accused Nerdrotic of racism and attached a ten-second clip from one of his videos, in which he said the following:
"What there wasn't a lot of was men. Not sure what happened to all the dudes in Wakanda. Maybe they went off to get a pack of Salems and they never came back. Holy s**t, I don't know if I can keep that one in."
X user @MinuteNerdNews wrote:
"He's just generally a racist. So much so that at this point he should honestly just come out and admit that he's a White supremacist. Never mind, he's racially charged comments about Echo. Check this comment out that he jokes 'won't make it in.' You're just a little boy with a camera and a microphone. Take that away and what are you? Racist, homo/transphobic, misogynist," remarked X user @MinuteNerdNews.
In another tweet, the X user remarked that the YouTuber was "addicted to hatred and negativity." They elaborated:
"You may have sobered up and I've seen firsthand how difficult that is and must have been to you. But you've relapsed into addiction. You're addicted to hatred and negativity. You're addicted to the engagement it brings, that furthers your hatred and negativity," said X user @MinuteNerdNews.
