About Carl Benjamin
- Carl Benjamin (born 1979) is an anti-feminist British YouTuber with the online pseudonym Sargon of Akkad.
- He is a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP).
- During the Gamergate controversy, he promoted a conspiracy theory that feminists were infiltrating video game research groups to influence game development according to a feminist agenda.
- Since Gamergate, his commentary has been largely devoted to promoting Brexit, and criticising feminism, Islam, identity politics, and what he views as political correctness in the media. Benjamin is also known for his 2016 remarks about rape and a female Member of Parliament, Jess Phillips.
- In response to her complaint that she frequently received rape threats from men online, Benjamin tweeted to her: "I wouldn't even rape you." Criticism of this comment—and a later remark in which Benjamin said he might rape Phillips but for the fact that "nobody's got that much beer"—dominated press coverage of his unsuccessful 2019 candidacy for the South West England constituency of the European Parliament.
