Another forum I'm in keeps trying to recommend Jordan Peterson and I'm getting pretty loving sick of it but they're exactly the type of assholes who would use the same argument style to endlessly needle as to why I think he's so abhorrent and I just don't have the patience anymore.

I’d pay real money to have an actual academic do a Let’s Read of Peterson’s pseudointellectual bullshittery.

Peterson’s just Ben Shapiro’s fully-evolved form, they both present the bog-standard conservative ideology that every cousin-humper in Arkansas agrees with, but dress it up with words big enough to confuse dimwits into thinking that they’re actually intellectuals. Peterson just has the added weapon of academic language. It’s kind of funny to read a couple paragraphs to laugh at what a bloviating prick he is but “women are bad and men are good” being run through an English-to-academia translator really isn’t all that interesting to make fun of. Although now that I’ve said all that, the Chapo Trap House segments on him are all really good, especially the episode where they all tore into his book for the whole runtime.

There's an interview with Jordan Peterson where he suggests that if women don't want to experience sexual harassment at work they shouldn't wear makeup to work

Perhaps the dorkiest thing about Peterson is that he believes he can't have a "proper" argument with a woman because there's no implicit threat of violence. Apparently, to him a proper argument only carries weight when the people involved could theoretically come to fisticuffs about it or whatever, which doesn't work when a woman is involved. Mind that this is coming from the same guy who, by his own proud admission, got into some sort of simian stare-off with a three year old boy (who'd gotten into a fight with his daughter on the playground) and fantasized about how much better the world would be if he was allowed to beat the poo poo out of that child. So yeah, dude's a massive dweeb hiding behind a shitload of bluster.

Remember that MRA guy who boasted that a man had has no combat training could always beat a woman who does because of  and was scheduled to go up against a female MMA fighter until the local athletics commission refused to sanction the fight and cancelled it?This reminded me of that.

He's not actually strong enough to do anything with it and gets it reversed really fast. Edit: His opponent was also 40 years old and I don't think she's fought competitively for years. chitoryu12 has a new favorite as of 22:45 on May 1, 2018 |

Mr. Sunshine posted:...people do know it's fiction, right? Old post, but I just want to remind everybody about Robert Pattinson's Twilight fangirls (who are still at it, by the way). They would approach him at events, with open wounds, and beg him to drink their blood. Because he played a vampire in a loving movie. He was legitimately scared he'd get HIV from one of those people. The guy's life was a living hell, and I am so sorry for everybody who was involved in those movies.

I recall rumors that Pattinson didn’t bathe to dissuade people from approaching them during that time. There are also rumors he’s the person who leaked “Midnight Sun,” SMeyer’s attempt to write Twilight from Edward’s perspective. Note unlike Rowling who kept the end of Potter locked in a bank safe for years, Meyer would give drafts to close friends/family for feedback (and had experienced leaks with previous books iirc). She was so upset with the “Midnight Sun” leak she blamed the fandom and flounced off with a remark that boiled down to it was their fault she would never complete the book. James ought to thank the stars (or her lawyers) that Meyer’s never sued her. There’s an old LJ “Das Sporking” that spent literal years picking Twilight apart, but the most fascinating part imo is the breakdown of Meyer’s career from the last book coming out through the film releases. Fans were questioning the payoff (the extremely tame sex scene that leads into immediate pregnancy, the rest of the story’s hyperfocuses on Bella to the point of Edward all but disappearing) and Meyer kept dancing around the criticism until it wasn’t fun anymore; her brother (in-law? Been years since I read this stuff) acting as manager responded to fans in an incredibly condescending way that soured a lot of people on the series. Meyer also would go on her own fan boards and post stuff that didn’t make it into the books, including some disturbing ideas I’m sure she’s ignorant of but boil down to humanity sucks and her protagonists deserve to rule the world.

Hey remember how she resolved the love triangle by making the loser actually in love with Bella's unborn child and then start grooming the magically-quick aged baby while everyone sort of shrugged and went 'yes, this is a totally normal thing'.

Whenever I read a particularly bad sex scene in a book, the first thing that happens is I'm amazed that the author thought that whatever they were writing was erotic enough to be included. Then I realize: "Holy poo poo, I'm reading someone's kink right here on the page." This guy could go on to write some of the most hauntingly beautiful prose that will be studied by literature scholars for centuries to come, but to me he'll always be the dude who wants to lick brie off a lactating woman's nipple and who thinks that a woman's rear end in a top hat smells like tobacco and tastes like bitter chocolate.
