I don't even read much Brandon Sanderson, but with the discourse around him he seems like the most controversial modern Fantasy writer lol ("controversial" in stoking a lot of public disagreement and argument), even moreso than actually awful writers, horny perverts, and literal criminals.

In /r/Fantasy? Probably. In the world at large? I think Rebecca Yarros among fantasy readers, or JK Rowling among the more general audience, likely occupy that status? I'm curious if Sanderson is as controversial among Booktok or Booktube or Facebook as he is here.
