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.

Funny. For the group that gets the most deeply offended when their own valuation as a person is based solely on their bodies, they're quick off the line to weaponize insults against the bodies of others.

Remember: a quote from Herber Marcuse - Repressive Tolerance, one of the most influential essays ever written

"Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left."

It's not hypocrisy when they do this. They really do believe that their own thoughts should be tolerated up to and including violence, and that it is no problem to censor others. Their rules are for us to follow, not them. And they've got a half century of heavyweight intellectuals backing them up.
