Carl Benjamin (born 1979)[2] is a polemic anti-feminist British YouTuber with the online pseudonym Sargon of Akkad.[3][4] He is a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP).

Benjamin grew to prominence through the Gamergate controversy, during which 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 political correctness, feminism, Islam, and identity politics.

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 similar remarks by Benjamin dominated press coverage of his unsuccessful 2019 candidacy for the South West England constituency of the European Parliament #brexit #parliament #politics
