Carl Benjamin, aka '''[[Sargon of Akkad''']] is an atheist gamer, amateur historian and [[YouTube]] commentator from the United Kingdom who's been active since 2010 <ref>He only began posting videos on the channel in 2013.</ref> and known for his "This Week in Stupid" videos. Although his topics have generally involved culture, history and gaming, he's gained fame (and notoriety in certain circles) for his commentaries on politics, current events and especially social movements like feminism.
 
His style can be best described as firm, measured and calm if often [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcastic]], unless he's angry in which case it becomes significantly more brash. Like [[The Amazing Atheist]] and [https://www.youtube.com/user/armouredskeptic/videos The Armoured Skeptic], which he has collaborated with many times, he's also very frank about his views and arguments. It's then no surprise that he has no qualms with his reputation of being politically incorrect or sounding offensive to certain people. He's also known for engaging with both his fans and with his erstwhile enemies, at least when said opposition are acting in good faith.
 
Sargon's main channel can be [https://www.youtube.com/user/SargonofAkkad100 found here]. While his gaming videos and other content can be found [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpiCH7qvGVlzMOqy3dncA5Q in his secondary channel]. He has also set up another channel, focusing on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSMG40p6XHFTeXv5noF6Wdw readings from ancient history].
 
In December of 2018, after multiple complaints from users, he was kicked off of [[Patreon]] for racist and antigay rhetoric, after refusing to discuss moderating his language with Patreon staff.
