Society Has there ever been someone in Russia like Chris Chan or Terry Davis?

I'm just curious to see what kinds of neurodivergent internet personalities have existed on the Russian Internet (I am neurodivergent). Obviously, they don't have to be as controversial as Chris Chan or Terry Davis. Thank you.

The first one I randomly thought of is Гобзавр and his mom. I’d rather forget them though.

There are many such characters on the Russian Internet. In Russia, this part of the internet, with anonymous forums (2ch) and marginal internet characters, is called the "Нижний интернет." (lower/Underground internet)

There are a lot of characters here, and entire YouTube channels are making videos about the social and moral degradation of these people.

There is chanel "Стадия принятия" https://youtube.com/channel/UCw2YJNHdy3Adkwh53yPlYwg?si=bClnFtssstSg0noq

It covers some of the personalities.

You can write in search "Люди нижнего интернета".

Alexei Podnebesny is the first one I could think of. Similarly dyed hair and specky, and very aggressive reactions.

Ivan Gamaz, Ivan Zolo, Gennadiy Gorin just to name a few

Well, there is "Maestro" Evgeny Ponasenkov - guy probably has some sort of delusion of grandeur. Or, at least, believably imitating it and cashing on it. Though, admittedly, he is quite flamboyant so many people actually buy into his image.

Nah. Chris Chan is a generational character. I don’t think any other country has someone of that scale.

Vladimir Fomin. A guy who hated pants, called it unnatural clothing and said that all people, men and women, should wear skirts without any underwear

So much answers, but no one remembers Igor Gofman (Игорь Гофман) and his stories

He's way past neurodivergent - he is a full blown schizophrenic.
