Jordan Peterson’s whole “thing” is being the worst guy to be stuck in a conversation with at a party. If the right-wing professor isn’t claiming that feminists have “an unconscious wish for brutal male domination,” he’s giving an unwatchable two-and-a-half hour presentation on “identity politics and the Marxist lie of white privilege.” Peterson’s Twitter account, which has 2.7 million followers (and probably 2.1 million bots), is also a cesspool of bad takes, including one that led him to quit the social media platform.
In response to model Yumi Nu being on the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, along with Kim Kardashian, Maye Musk, and Ciara, Peterson tweeted, “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.” Peterson quickly became the Main Character of Twitter, with his “Sorry. Not beautiful” phrasing being paired with, well, have you seen Jordan Peterson looks like?
I’m sorry in advance.

By Monday night, Peterson announced that he was leaving Twitter due to an “endless flood” of “vicious” insults. He continued, “I like to follow the people I know but I think the incentive structure of the platform makes it intrinsically and dangerously insane. So I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation, and am departing once again. If I have something to say I’ll write an article or make a video. If the issue is not important enough to justify that then perhaps it would be best to just let it go.”
Rage away, panderers. And tell me you believe that such images are not conscious and cynical manipulation by the oh-so virtuous politically correct. https://t.co/uAbPSyDllc

The endless flood of vicious insult is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else. I like to follow the people I know but I think the incentive structure of the platform makes it intrinsically and dangerously insane. https://t.co/NlWTUKRHlG

If Peterson is doing the insulting, it’s fine. But when Peterson is the one being insulted, he’s being attacked by the woke mob. He will not be missed.

I LOVE how an old, frail, angry little man thinks he gets to say what is and isn’t beautiful. Like, SIR!! This is an Arby’s. 🙄🤡#JordanPeterson #onpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/QDWanGQ0m4

JORDAN PETERSON: this woman on the magazine is disgusting. She is a repulsive court jester from the Ugly Kingdom. I cannot be expected to cum because of this. Our society is doomed.

JORDAN PETERSON: wow everyone on this site sure is mean!!

jordan peterson called a sports illustrated model ugly on here and then a bunch of people made fun of him and then he posted like a hundred times about how twitter is toxic and said he was quitting twitter and instead kept posting. so basically to me he's like socrates,

Throughout the history of mankind this body type has been far more desired than the unrealistic beauty standards we celebrate today but really this just screams, "I know you wouldn't sleep with me anyway, so watch me put you down first." Grow the fuck up. https://t.co/4n2XihJR1E
