Purple Tinker (legal name Jessica Blank and deadname Jonathan Louis Blank) is a well known figure in the brony community due to his involvement in several popular brony conventions, such as Bronycon and BABSCon. He quickly built up a poor reputation inside his community for his extreme social justice views and his involvement in various drama, and as we all know, being hated by bronies for drama is a lot like being the smelliest piece of garbage in a vast landfill of trash.
Firstly, he dislikes Trump a lot, a position he takes to some pretty paranoid extremes. He's been trying to get refugee status into Canada because as a tranny, he's somehow in danger under Trump's presidency.
He's involved in more than his fair share of brony drama. This stuff requires a bit of explanation given how unusual bronies themselves are so I'm popping these under a spoiler.
There's some minor stuff related to an autist he left stranded in San Francisco, an article about the situation went up on Horse News and he got mad as fuck even after the writer told people to stop misgendering and "slandering" him.
A bigger incident happened at the convention Everfree Northwest, where some guy claimed the convention was full of "racism, sexism, transphobia, and rape culture". Purple Tinker jumped in calling some other guy a transphobe and posting a Facebook conversation with him as proof.
He's had a lot of back and forth with another brony named Kick Neckbeard Ass on Tumblr. I know nothing about him and he seems like a desperate former friend of Tinker given how bullshit a lot of the things he accuses Tinker of are, but he has baited Tinker into saying stupid shit before.

Purple Tinker is ethnically Jewish (according to him) but he's denounced the religion to become a euphoric atheist. He got in a lot of trouble for this tweet:
He also claimed that all religious gay people secretly hate themselves.
His Twitter is currently just a giant salt mine about all the current social justice talking points. Fat shaming, nazi punching, Bill Nye, the number of genders that there are, immigration (which he even made a video about!). One particularly funny example of him injecting himself into the latest SJW fad was his reaction to the JonTron controversy, where he assumed he was somehow important enough for Jon to talk to him personally.
His dox is a bit hard to pin down since he's lived all over the country. There was an old /baphomet/ archive that had some stuff saved, but it was outdated. @Ride got me the deadname and found an address for Tinker that's also listed as the address for BABSCon, so the likely current address is:
1000 NATIONAL AVENUE, APT. 125, SAN BRUNO, CA 94066
Finally, in his effort to rack up as many lolcow points as possible, we have a minor link to the Rat King. Purple Tinker is a former friend of ADF's "girlfriend" Toren Vladimir, but cut off contact with him after calling him a scammer. Now they hate each other.
