Jordan Peterson. It just blew me away to discover he’s hated.
Though I have yet to encounter anyone who hates him who can accurately describe anything he’s ever said.
I didn't know who he was. After just reading his Wikipedia page I really understand why people hate him. I think I might as well.
Par for the course. I’m no longer surprised by this because now I know that people are content to simply read about a thing instead of reading that thing itself.
It think it’s nuts, but it doesn’t surprise me any more.
Your point was not about his stuff but about his person. I read up on them and see it is a terrible, uncompassionate and frankly hateful person. That is not for me.
In case you’re serious

I've seen enough of his videos to know he is absolutely bonkers.
I listened to a couple of his seminars on narcissism and thought, "Hey, this guy knows what he's talking about!" But the more I listened to him, especially his more recent stuff, the more I realized he doesn't actually know what he's talking about.
I guess he just had a handle on narcissism from his own personal experience as one.
Jordan Peterson as in "Being transgender is satanic ritual abuse" and "Transgenderism is a social contagion" Jordan Peterson?
Are you arguing in good faith or are you just a troll?
I would suggest a listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes on him.
I tried reading his book and stopped after a few chapters because I couldn’t handle it.
