Bye for now. Dr. Jordan Peterson who was called out for shaming the newest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Yumi Nu in controversial tweets on Monday has bailed on Twitter. The University of Toronto professor emeritus announced he was leaving the social media platform, where he has nearly 3 million followers just hours after the uproar. While his account is still active, the 59-year-old wrote he will be departing the Twitterverse following the backlash he got for hating on Nus magazine photo shoot. The endless flood of vicious insult is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else, the 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos author tweeted Monday night. I like to follow the people I know but I think the incentive structure of the platform makes it intrinsically and dangerously insane. While his account is still active, Peterson said hes instructed his staff to keep him off social media. I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation and am departing once again, he added. 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. In his last tweet, Peterson concluded that he plans to write an article on the technical reasons that Twitter is maddening us all very soon. Bye for now.

On Monday, fans came at Peterson after he quote-tweeted The Posts story on Nus cover debut, penning, Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that. Authoritarian? Chunky women on magazine covers? You sound like a parody of you, one Twitter user responded to the Canadian native. Its a conscious progressive attempt to manipulate & retool the notion of beauty, reliant on the idiot philosophy that such preferences are learned & properly changed by those who know better, the father of two shot back, alongside two articles about scientific studies on attractiveness. But dont let the facts stop you, he said. Other users were unhappy with his comments and told him to immerse himself in the history of beauty standards.

I wonder if 'authoritarian tolerance' will end up being that defining instance of pay-no-mind stupidity for Peterson the way 'sell your underwater houses' was for Ben Shapiro.

Unless you're a trans college student in Canada, you don't really have any reason to concern yourself with Peterson being wrong on one subject or another. I could see a case for caring about him when he had a more ardent following, but it feels like his influence has waned from its pre-pandemic highs. He's just a guy who makes a living off the attention he receives for being wrong now. I don't think we need to help him out.

Yes, because "ignoring the problem until it goes away" works out so well in so many other real-world examples. Especially when talking about bigots who use the internet to spread their filth to an impressionable audience.

lol so he's trying to claim that his personal standards of beauty are objectively correct by citing studies. Of course. This could've been a learning moment for him but instead he just digs in his heels even more.

Dude didn't understand a lot of men like women with a few extra pounds and had a meltdown over it. I don't think she was particularly up my alley but he was an absolute deranged prick about it and it was entirely self-inflicted. This dude needs actual mental help and to stay off of social media platforms where he'll make anything he disagrees with some statement on authoritarianism.

"Bah, why would anybody like <x sexual thing I don't like.> This must be the left!"

Watch out for Jordan Peterson versus Tomboys, coming to a twitter thread near you in 2023

There's nothing wrong about giving an opinion, the issue people had was that he was a prick about it. When you give your opinion in a very aggressive manner, like he did it, of course you're going to expect backlash. I'm guessing he didn't expect such a massive backlash on this scale or he was going to quit twitter anyways and wanted to create a reason to.

Anyways it's always better for everyone's mental health to quit twitter anyways. Place can be real toxic, especially with people posting shit Jordan Peterson style.

What annoys me about him most is that he can't handle the response. Here's a tip: If you don't want clapback, don't fucking clap in the first place.
