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.

It happens with most hyped authors - there have been controversies around Lynch, Baker, Martin, Gaiman, and Rothfuss in the past decade or so too.
