Benjamin is an anti-feminist and a critic of identity politics. He has opposed online feminist movements such as the British group Reclaim the Internet, which he called “social communism.” Following the 2014 Isla Vista killings, Benjamin said that social justice feminism was a “disease of the modern age” that had disenfranchised and radicalised young men causing a rise in the number of mass murders. While on a panel in New York City in 2018, he said: “Jewish people, unfortunately for them, have got to drop the identity politics. I’m sorry about the Holocaust but I don’t give a shit. I’m sorry.” Vice has criticised Benjamin for a “sense of purist thinking and a logic- before-all attitude” that ignores the complexity of topics related to race and gender.

Benjamin’s YouTube channel first drew attention during the Gamergate controversy in 2014. Inside Higher Ed said his videos on the topic advanced a conspiracy theory in which he argued that members of the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) were actively plotting to influence video game development, saying that DiGRA, “became co-opted by feminists to become a think tank by which gender ideologues can disseminate their ideology to the gaming press and ultimately to gamers.”

He lives in Swindon, England with his wife and their two children.
