AndrewIVX is a YouTuber and TikToker from Seattle, Washington who presently has 160.3k followers. He gained notoriety in late 2020 for his TikTok videos, which contain racial slurs, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry disguised as "comedy".

Why He, His YouTube Videos and His TikToks Were Appalling
Note: These qualities applied to him before he redeemed himself in 2020.
 * 1) His old videos were filled with racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of insensitivity, often directed at specific individuals on TikTok.
 * 2) His "duets" on TikTok were often just him bullying the other TikToker for various reasons.
 * 3) He's a troll, who promotes bigotry but defends his actions as a "joke".
 * 4) According to an Instagram commenter in a post calling him out, he trolled administrative accounts for his school pretending to be "honest letters from the community" asking to.
 * 5) He made baseless claims on the effects of "feminism" and racial stratification based on his own personal views and even admits to not doing any research beforehand.
 * 6) He also treated mental illness as a joke, going as far as making fun of the Black Lives Matter movement to spread his idea of a "pro-suicide" movement named "No Lives Matter".

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some of his more recent videos are legitimately funny, and his YouTube channel is mostly harmless.
 * 2) He did apologize to the people he offended in an Instagram and TikTok post he made in July 2020, and promised to never do it again.
 * 3) He overall does not seem to be that bad as a person, now that he apologized.
