In case you're outside the loop on this one the people who hate this guy can NEVER form a valid argument as to what he has done in any way to hurt... anyone really. He just doesn't like playing into people's sexual fantasies. Not a big deal.
On the other hand people on his side tend to be conservatives and white supremacists. Mostly because nobody else is willing to stand up to LGBTQ bullies nowadays.
It's an unfortunate situation, Jordan Peterson is a normal human being who gets constantly attacked by guys who think they're women, and women who are very sad they have titties, and then gets celebrated by people with no teeth and swastika neck tattoos. It's like the fucking creatures of the night just love this guy. And again, listen to his speeches, he's just not into the whole calling a man a woman thing. Not a hot take, but has made him amazingly controversial lol.
Here's what I don't like about him: he's dishonest. The man is a psychologist. He's an expert in only one field: psychology. Yet he pontificates on any subject he pleases, trying to pass for some sort of generalized expert. He isn't as smart as he wants you to think he is, and he's certainly not an expert in sociology, economics, medicine, or any of the other things he likes to venture his unlearned opinion on.
Pseudoscientific woo dressed up in flowery language. Intellectually dishonest. Self serving egomaniac. Get in the sea, Peterson.
Thank you! This is why I am NOT a fan of his, yea. He was really put on the map by his Joe Rogan interviews. I watched them all, and even some of his lectures. I was VERY curious about all the hate. Jordan B is definitely a tool. At one point Joe asks him something like "how can we fix society" or "what would make a utopia" and instead of saying, "who knows" he actually answered! His response was word salad, riddled with buzzwords and intellectual babel. He pulled a politician card. Said a whole lot of nothing in a very pretty way. Since then I've realized he's just a harmless fool. He's riding this thing out. He KNOWS he really isn't as amazing as his fans believe, but it doesn't matter. He's so much smarter than the people who love him and the people that hate him that all he has to do is keep talking. Keep it vague. So long as he stays a hated public figure of the left he will remain a celebrity to the right. Such a funny oroborus of stupidity. It thoroughly intrigues me.
