I thought everyone here already knew how there are people on Tumblr who make content depicting YouTubers and other real-ass people as random races. With assorted handicaps. Also transgender. And fucking all their friends.

Now, from my experience there are a few constants as far as this specific field of garbage goes.
  • These are often time-limited fads. One Tumblr user will do it, and until more rational minds prevail a clique or tag may form. Then the YouTuber themselves may come down on it, or the fad passes fairly quickly. So I don't expect most of this content to be timely.
  • Tumblr usually manages to categorize all like-headcanons under one tag, unless it's someone's personal abscess. "Mainstream" examples include #Shipboys (Nick Robinson and Griffin McElroy fuck each other), or #EgoBang (Arin Hanson and Danny Sexbang fuck each other), or #Polygrumps (They all fuck each other).
  • They sometimes go to lengths to keep their business private (because the first hit for GameGrumps being a breakdown of how they might fuck each other is not ideal for either party). So while browsing a tag might net some results, a lot of it is squirreled away.
  • This doesn't tend to happen to... well, the YouTubers you wouldn't expect it to happen to. There's not a lot of nonsatirical AmazingAtheist fanfiction.
  • Tumblrers often have a fairly thin rationale for why this is okay. YouTubers might put on a persona or a little roleplay in their videos, act out a gender-swap or wear drag, or tease a ship for laughs. But once the ball gets rolling, nothing is off limits.

Racial and transgender headcanons are definitely rarer than ships, but they're out there. The usual flags that apply to crappy fictional headcanons apply to nonfiction - binders, vertiligo, the works.

Just picture in your mind what you think this person looks like in real life, and then throw that image in the trash.

It's not all art, a lot of this crap is found Ask Blogs or fanfiction.

In summary if you want to probe something like this yourself, the field is wide but the results may be thin. Start with a person you think may have been a target, and don't limit yourself to new posts. I know the tags for the channels I used to watch, but you know more than I do about the shows you watch.

How straight-up autistic do you have to be to make headcanons for real people?
Honestly, I blame this new kind of Youtube entertainment, where the boundary between the performer and the persona are so blurred. These people would be gossiping over Grey's Anatomy otherwise.

It seems common for singers like Gerard Way. You'll see art of him with a binder or top surgery scars along with fanfiction about how hard it is to be transgendered. Most of it consists of hurt feelings and other band members comforting him because of transphobia. I don't even like music in the vein of My Chemical Romance and I'm unfortunately very familiar with this.

I've even seen tranny Dave Mustaine art. Literally nothing is safe.

I think that all of this is way creepy. These are real people you are changing the race, gender, ability and weight of. That's fetishization. You'd think that drawing a white person black would meet with a firestorm of REEEEEEE. It's one thing to make black Link even though it is dumb. Because he isn't a real person. But real people being headcanoned like that is just creepy. If I was a celebrity or Youtube personality and some weirdo fans were doing this I would not like it at all.
 
I know that Pewdiepie/Jackscepticeye is an enormously popular ship, as well as the Danisnotonfire friends being shipped together. I don't even watch these people, the cancer just oozes over into everything. And its funny you mention GG headcanons being contained because the comment section of their videos has gotten particularly creepy since YouTube started shoving most liked comments to the top.
