    And people should stop saying that Peterson is just "a Canadian Psychologist".

    He isn't, he's a political commentator. And he's been one since he started campaigning against trans pronoun use which was a good long while ago.

    People shouldn't be surprised that some of his views are being made fun of.

    So much so that some of these guys say transphobic fans to her FACE.

    It's really very disturbing.
    It's interesting cuz Blaire White has stated that some of these guys have told her that they don't really believe what they say, but the audience expects them to say homophobic stuff. Unfortunately, Blaire plays into it herself with her "exposes" of "the bad transgenders". It's clear that she'd rather be doing more personal content, but the anti-SJW grift plays the bills and is easy material so she's kind of stuck.

Sadly, that seems to be a thing of the past for many.
    You can take jabs at whoever you want; you just have to accept the consequences later. On that note, I'm surprised J.Peterson is getting defended more than Coates.

    He was arguing against laws that compel speech. It's a very straightforward free speech argument. We do have laws cropping up (in USA and Canada) that make using the wrong pronoun an illegal matter, which at least seems to violate free speech. Peterson has said he would call people by their preferred pronouns if they asked him to. So he isn't against trans pronouns except as a legal matter.

    I haven't heard of any such laws myself

    I read an article saying it's more directed at employers willfully discriminating against employees.

    Yeah, but it includes 'repeated use of wrong pronouns' as a form of discrimination or harassment.

    I believe free speech or free expression is king. However, if something violent occurs because of what you say or do, well, you have to pay for it. You should be able to say or write whatever you want. I detest Human Cetipded with every fiber of my being but if I could I would not forbid its existence. The same goes for if people want to be racist let them be racist as long as they don't harm anyone. You have the right to be wrong. The government limiting free expression is a slippery sloop that can lead (and has in the past) to some very bad places.

    Also if Jordan Peterson is Alt-Right, I seem to have got the Alt-Right very wrong.

    He's probably best described as a 'classical liberal'. When the first wave of Peterson outrage started I viewed a lot of his content to see whether I should also be outraged. There was nothing that I deemed contentious (that doesn't mean I agree with him on everything) but a lot that was interesting.

    His main 'crimes' appear to be that he doesn't agree with compelled speech on a matter that a lot of people feel very strongly about, enough to want to compel speech, and writing a self-help book that helped a lot of people. People of any skin colour or gender could and did read it and found it valuable. After finding out that much of the readership was male, people that didn't want that readership helped misrepresented his views. As was demonstrated by the Kathy Newman Channel 4 interview.

    Just in case, please don't misrepresent my views either.

    Idk, I think people overreact to things and act like any attempt to be more civil is "destroying free speech"

    Isn't classical liberal just another buzzword?
