Peterson's shtick is couching inflammatory statements in mountains of obfuscation, and then crying foul when critics rightly note the wild s*** that comes out of his mouth. The rallying cries of his fans downplay the only noteworthy things he says: "he doesn't mean that literally," "you need to watch the full two hour lecture," "he's just asking questions, that's not something he believes."

This was posted in another topic but man does it hold true here. Every discussion about Peterson becomes a second-order debate, not about his ideas, but about whether his critics are unfair to him by not reading his whole book and watching every two-hour Youtube video he's ever put out.

Peterson's fans love him because finally someone who looks like they do can claim to be an aggrieved victim.
