I don't know about James Lindsay. I think the Grievance Study authors have never been a favorite of the Ovarit crowd. Benjamin Boyce has a lot of female followers. There was some controversy with GC feminists accusing him of being overly flirtatious with female guests. He has made certain jokes that raise the ire of overly sensitive types. He's also somewhat socially conservative and hosts AGPs on his channel. Some GCers like Kellie-Jay Keen have zero tolerance for AGPs.

Yeah, I did see AGP being mentioned in a lot of tweets but couldn’t track down the starting point (hence asking here). Now it seems they’ve moved on to calling Lindsay a small dicked hobbit with erectile dysfunction. So I think the argument has degenerated into name calling.

That's one positive effect that Saidit has had on me. I can quote the Pyramid of Debate by heart now and know that name-calling is just someone who has lost an argument.

I love being on other sites that allow image posts and displaying the PoD and pointing out that they're on the lower levels, then quoting my own argument and pointing out it's near the top. It's a great way to invite a ban.
