  • The quote you linked is not from Jordan Peterson but a random twitter user called “TYL80737692”

    If you want to know JP’s thought on incels you can look it up and hear it from the man himself rather than look for someone to intrepret it for you and add their own spin to it.

    From the comments of the first video: “It’s ironic that mainstream media slandered Jordan Peterson as “King of the incels” when he routinely tells men that if women don’t find them attractive - it’s not the women’s fault - but men’s fault, and it’s each man’s responsibility to fix it.”



  • he encourages the idea that physical fun time is a human right

    Care to elaborate on this? I’ve listened probably 20 hours of him talking but I don’t remember him saying anything like this. To me his core message seems to be that stop blaming the world for your issues and instead look in the mirror and sort your own life out first. He even became famous as the “clean your own room before you go out fixing the world” dude.





  • First you said that he became popular by “harming people” but the article you linked states; He became famous in 2016 after criticizing Canadian Bill C-16, claiming that the bill would enforce speech codes and harm free speech.

    Then you implied he lost his license to practise clinical psychology which also has not happened (atleast yet)

    Now you’re saying that posting controversial comments on social media is “harmful to the public”

    “The complaints against him include making “misleading” statements about COVID-19; mocking a plus-size Sports Illustrated model; and calling a surgeon a “criminal” for removing the breasts of transgender actress Ellen Page.”

    So while I don’t disagree that saying stupid shit on social media can potentially be harmful to some individuals that is still not in any way unique behaviour to JP so considering the original argument I still disagree with the claim that the world would be a better place without him. He’s like Elon Musk; people don’t like him as a person so they’re actively looking for the most insignificant faults in his behaviour and then act like he’s some horrible human being. It’s recreational outrage pure and simple.
