I don't think anyone is really saying Bruce is a terrible person just because of his opinions on GOT and how he presents them. People were just upset with how he handled the podcast, the topic, and the responses after the podcast. Everyone still loves him and his content, they're just frustrated.

For example of I didn't care why would I sit through Bruce's 2 hour long QnA session and write 40 annotations to help write a response to him about the situation? It jus doesn't add up. Everyone keeps saying that there's so much HATE involved but I have yet to really see that outside the very very small minority of people who are always edgy assholes.
