That's pretty much it. I never even heard of all those "3rd wave femi-nazis", trying to take over the world, until a bunch of hairy dudes started freaking out about them all over the interwebz. YouTube algorithm has also never offered me any random feminist rants, but I keep seeing the anti-feminist ones on my front page, even though I take pains not to click on them.
It's actually very poignant, that OP is asking for names of those crazy feminists - I don't know any, I don't think anybody knows - except for Sarkesian, who now is really just a meme. If you ask an anti-feminist - they'll just give you a link to some fat girl with purple hair, saying something stupid on YouTube - like that's the Feminist Pope, or something...

That some in the feminist movement swing to extremes is no different to any other movements. There will always be extremes.

Militant feminism had a place in society at one time. I'm not sure how relevant it's place is now. But then, I'm not female.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Feminism is such a large movement, with so many people and so many outspoken people saying different things I think it's kind of hard to pin down leadership to just a few people. I do think feminism suffers a bit from celebrity worship though. I took the advice of the first page and googled feminist leaders today and mostly came up with celebrities. I doubt that's the case when it comes to scholarly feminism though. You'd probably have to look at some prominent women's studies departments.

Yet there is no balance of any sort like 'sexist arsehole gets what he deserves' clips etc.
I just don't understand the imbalance.
Everyday I see or hear some arsehole talking bullshit about women like, 'they've had their day and now it's third wave feminism extremists'.

I dunno.
So I was wondering if this was true, so I tried to go through youtube and look for 'sexist gets owned' typing that in, I literally came up with 9 videos like that ones you described in the first sentence attacking feminism and social justice warriors and one comedian who got heckled for doing a pro-feminism comedy bit and responded well. A bunch of men's rights activists bullshit. There is nothing less manly then men's rights activists.

I agree completely, it's just that, if I point to one person and say, here that's a typical example of an outspoken feminist, that person is bound to have some opinion that isn't shared by many others, and might even hold views that are rejected by most other feminists. Extreme views I think tend to be overrepresented among the particularly outspoken ones.

I mean I would consider myself a feminist in the definition of the word but I have a bit of a beef with a lot of the baggage that could be associated with feminist movement and how it labels those who are not %100 in...

I'm not looking for Beyonce and Hillary Clinton, I'n looking for outspoken members of the movement itself. Bloggers, vLoggers, people like Anita Sarkeesan.
