Not sure why internet trolls is being removed from this page. McInnes has a history of making videos attacking certain groups of people, including ones that border on homophobia and calling people "pedophiles" for liking anime and so forth. He's even been banned from many social media platforms because of his behavior. How is that not an internet troll?
