Just finished watching a Twitch stream. The streamer was doing a Q&A with the chat and ended up quoting Jordan Peterson while trying to provide advice to someone. A minority of the chat suddenly exploded with condemnations against quoting such a terrible person, and the streamer kept trying to figure out what they were talking about. No one in the chat was providing an actual reason they hated him. The most meaningful answers I was able to find were "he thinks universities are dominated by the left", "he's said some sexist, racist, and homophobic things,", "he's got terrible opinions on trans people", and "he rubs elbows with alt-right types like Ben Shapiro". Felt bad for the streamer because he genuinely couldn't figure out what their issue with him was but had to tacitly disavow him anyway just because of the outrage.

One chatter cited a statistic claiming that 1% of trans people de-transition, and most of those people do it due to social pressure. It doesn't necessarily conflict with the data I have on the subject, as I haven't seen many people talk about de-transitioning rates, but I haven't yet found the source.

Isn't calling Ben alt-right just gerrymandering on another level?

Wanted to share an art project I worked on this past month. I drew one cat for each day in January. Looking to see which ones people like the most: https://sta.sh/21rnvvekhovj?edit=1

Ah well. Better luck next time I suppose.
