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."
I did, and I'm who I linked to on Twitter (forgot Twitter replies are often unattainable). The comment on the first video goes against his own words in other parts of his wisdom. You don't have to even be politically aligned against him to gather that it's a populist game, he is the Dr. Phil or Supernanny of politics.
