Hasn't he been the witch of forever with the FTB and A+ people? Or at least since he was he was mean to some rape victim somewhere, complained about the whole hypocrisy surrounding PC-sexism, ragged on stupid feminists , and said bad stuff about R.Watson? The impression I got at least is that the FC and their merry band of half-wit commentators has used him as one of the prime example of "atheist misogynist a-hole" that are for ages?
Not that strange, considering his whole youtube-niche seem to be doing laud, straightforward rantings using crude and shocking language/arguments. Add the fact that he have a large YT channel (ie. more pageviews if the dramaball gets rolling), that he seem to have rather normal sound ideas on feminism, equality, politics, etc, and that he doesn't seem to like FTB and Watson very much, and he becomes the perfect FTB-hate magnet.
(I could be wrong about TJ though, I've only watched 4 or so of his videos, since I wanted to see this "misogynist" for myself instead of just taking the FTBers word for it)
That thread you linked though, wow... Reading the A+ forums is a real trip down the rabbit hole.
First comes this gem:

Perhaps a female could answer best, if you are female is it possible to listen to him and appreciate whatever he has to say knowing his views on women?
Yes, do ask the female overlords so that they can tell you what you should think... do not use your own brain, this could lead to freethinking! This is not followed by an answer though, but the even more bizarre:

Female = sexism? What?! Ok, english is my 2nd language, but... wtf?!
btw, wasn't this the guy who flounced the whole forum due to Dillahunty-gate? Shouldn't s/he get banned for not sticking to the flounce?
Later on, they start discussing sticking Mel Gibson and TJ in therapy for their racism/sexism:

I'm the only one who start thinking of "re-education" camps?
