Jordan Peterson Quit Twitter Over Swimsuit Model Backlash

Jordan Petersons whole thing is being the worst guy to be stuck in a conversation with at a party. If the right-wing professor isnt claiming that feminists have an unconscious wish for brutal male domination, hes giving an unwatchable two-and-a-half hour presentation on identity politics and the Marxist lie of white privilege. Petersons 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 years 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?

Im 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 Ill 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.

If Peterson is doing the insulting, its fine. But when Peterson is the one being insulted, hes being attacked by the woke mob. He will not be missed.
