Trump supporters don’t actually care about context though. They say that shit for propaganda purposes. Vaush supporters bring up context because he literally gets clipped out of context for oppositional propaganda purposes.

Also, there isn’t always an “out”. Some of the things Vaush has said/done are bad even with context.

Trump has also had controversies where he's crossed a line, like the "Access Holywood" leak that ones one of the very few times Trump actually issued an apology. He still survived it, just like Vaush still has a following despite some instances that were either genuine mistakes or miscalculations. If you live right up by the line, occasionally you are going to cross it.

If I point out Trump's failure to denounce the KKK, for example, his supporters will point out that he claimed there was a technical issue and later did denounce them. Likewise, if I point out some shitty thing Vaush said, they'll pull out some similar excuse or context. There's no reason to assume good faith in one case and bad faith in the other. Perhaps some Trump voters wouldn't care if he didn't have an excuse (though some might), and perhaps some Vaushites wouldn't care if he didn't have an excuse (though some might). It's the same tactic, the same formula, the same kind of calculations and the same psychology. Just as Trump supporters will make fun of critics for "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (which is caused by his controversy bait), so too do Vaushites have "Vaush Derangement Syndrome" (caused by his controversy bait).

Vaush is someone who is significantly egotistical, narcissistic, impulsive, and short sighted. But he is not a controversy-monger, on that front he is just a dumbass.

In any case, he is 100% not worth watching and is best completely ignored. He contributes nothing but controversy and brainworms, whether unintentionally as you claim, or intentionally as is actually correct.
