A transgendered activist best-known under the pseudonym of Brianna Wu.
John Walker Flynt tweeted to a company [1] "Hey, @ubisoft. Your Watch Dogs lead writer...doesn't think Gamergate is a hate group. I'd love to talk..." That is an aggressive action that put that writer's job in peril. In another tweet, [2] he said, "What you don't understand, Ethan: Your terrible, uninformed opinion makes women ask, "Do I want to work for @ubisoft?" in response to Ethan saying, "Am I worried about "losing my job" for having an opinion outside of work? Absolutely fucking not. Lets be real, people." Flynn then tweeted, [3] "You are affecting @ubisoft, the trust of women in buying your product, and their capacity to attract talent."
His Wiki page is here: [4].
He has called for the FBI to have access to IP addresses so online comments can be traced back to the people that made them. [5]: "So what’s next, what has to happen? “The most terrifying outcome from this would be if this becomes the new normal for women in this industry,” he says. “I can’t pretend there are easy answers. Both Zoe Quinn and I are represented by senator Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts. I reached out to her this week, because I’d like to see what work can be done on a national policy level.
“We need legislation that requires sites like 8chan to store IP addresses. We need legislation that makes it possible for law enforcement to track down the people that do this. We need the game industry to cover these events when they happen - look at IGN, it’s radio silence from them.”

Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe
WHAT WATSON SAID
Anyone who has ever been involved in a news event knows that the media coverage of it is essentially false. If it is not literally false to the facts of the matter, then it is false to the spirit of the matter. People involved will protest that they have been “quoted out of context,” but no one will believe them because, well, everyone says that. Usually, however, they are correct.
So what was the context of Watson’s remarks? What transpired in that four-thousand-word story in the Sunday Times that led to James Watson’s destruction? To put the matter simply: He was sand-bagged by someone he trusted. The journalist/ex-colleague/friend who wrote the story, Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe, clearly felt ambiguously toward her subject. She tells us toward the end of the article that she was reluctant to interview Watson. “I remember that while I was thrilled when a sheet of familiar laboratory paper landed on my desk a few months ago, asking if I would like to interview him for his new book, I was wary of the ethical content.” Wary of the ethical content? Clearly, she did not share Watson’s beliefs regarding genes and groups (genes and women, for instance). But an objective description would call that a disagreement about the anthropological content of Watson’s views. Such a neutral description, though, was evidently not sufficient for the would-be author. She wanted her readers to know without doubt that she disapproved morally of her subject’s un-PC beliefs.
And so she wrote a story highlighting James Watson’s “controversial” ideas, with a tone that invited PC disapproval. She told of his “disdain for women turning men into ‘girly men,’ which means ‘men who don’t have the courage to say anything.’” Of course she raised the topic of Harvard president Larry Summers’s “infamous lecture” (her description), saying that “one former pupil—an eminent biologist and staunch feminist, is outraged at [Watson’s] account of her in his book.”
Finally, Hunt-Grubbe turned to what she clearly knew would be her bombshell, drawing Watson out about remarks made in his book’s epilogue. Most of that epilogue deals with the Larry Summers case and Watson’s belief that the remarks Summers made about genetically based mental-aptitude differences between the sexes constituted “an unpopular, though by no means unfounded, hypothesis.” The epilogue ends with these observations: Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so. Rather than face up to facts that will likely change the way we look at ourselves, many persons of goodwill may see only harm in our looking too closely at individual genetic essences. So I was not surprised when Derek [Bok, the acting president of Harvard following the dismissal of Summers] asked apprehensively how many years would pass before the key genes affecting differences in human intelligence would be found. My back-of-the-envelope answer of “fifteen years” meant Summers’s then undetermined successor would not necessarily need to handle this very hot potato. Upon returning to the Yard, however, I was not sure that even ten years would pass. To me, Watson’s epilogue seems merely commonsensical. But Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe considered it to be “an inflammatory epilogue with eye-popping theories that will, undoubtedly, leave ethicists choking with disbelief.” So why, if she expected that even her mentor’s general and precisely stated views on intelligence would lead ethicists into choking with disbelief, did she draw him into (and then publish) his spontaneous chattering about the inflammatory issue of race? That is a question she must answer for herself. But in the end, she did: He says that he is “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours—whereas all the testing says not really,” and I know that this hot potato is going to be difficult to address. His hope is that everyone is equal, but he counters that “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.” He says that you should not discriminate on the basis of colour, because “there are many people of colour who are very talented, but don’t promote them when they have succeeded at the lowest level.”

Chris Kluwe
Chris Kluwe is an outspoken SJW activist and opponent of #GamerGate who is very active on Twitter.
"I love that "social justice warrior" (sjw) is a pejorative for certain people, btw. I mean, obviously equality is a terrible thing to want."
"Do you think people who use the term "Social Justice Warrior" (SJW) as an insult, realize the opposing view is "Repressive Hate Coward"?"
"There’s this herd of people, mainly angsty teenage caucasian men (based on an informal survey of 99 percent of the people who feel the need to defend this nonsense to me on Twitter), who feel that somehow, their identity as “gamers” is being taken away. Like they’re all little Anne Franks, hiding in their basements from the PC Nazis and Social Justice Warrior brigades, desperately protecting the last shreds of “core gaming” in their unironically horrible Liveblog journals filled with patently obvious white privilege and poorly disguised misogyny....I hope you all, every #Gamergater, picks up a debilitating case of genital warts."

Olivia Ronan
Currently threatening to deregister the Sydney University Evangelical Union from the Clubs & Societies program over the latter’s requirement that the executive officer must make a declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. If she successfully does so, they will no longer be registered to use University facilities or receive the financial support other groups receive.
The Evangelical Union is resisting administrative pressure.
Ronan says the banning of identity requirements is “the best option for maximizing participation in the Clubs and Societies Program”.
“The foundations of the Program and of the USU are accessibility and inclusion, and to limit the candidates for election to Club Executives to those who ascribe to a particular faith is no less exclusionary than requiring candidates to be of a particular sexuality or gender identity.”
