i'd be grateful for one or several specific links to start from.

It's difficult, because many of eridu's comments were "deleted" by site mods who very much wanted that discussion to stop. I suspect your best bet is to browse their user page (where the comments remain visible) if you're really interested, but roughly speaking: eridu self-identified as a radical feminist who endorsed dismantling patriarchy, and ended up in a very confrontational series of exchanges with several LW contributors that were widely considered low-value.

and ended up in a very confrontational series of exchanges with several LW contributors that were widely considered low-value.

I certainly considered them low value but to be fair the reception was mixed. Some went as far as to say it was the best and most informative discussion of any related concepts that they had seen on lesswrong. This confused some people but there was definitely a non-trivial minority who valued it.

(nods) Yes, this is absolutely true, and worth saying explicitly. Thanks.

Thank you. This contains some very interesting parts.
