Online pranksters are remixing Jordan Peterson’s transphobic rant into hilariously mocking videos
a 14-minute video complaining about how Twitter temporarily banned him for publishing a transphobic tweet about transgender actor Elliot Page.Last month, Peterson posted a now-deleted tweet deadnaming and misgendering Page.
The tweet said, “Remember when pride was a sin? And [Elliot Page] just had [his] breasts removed by a criminal physician.”Twitter suspended Peterson’s account because his tweet violated the network’s policy specifically forbidding “misgendering or deadnaming” trans people.Related: Elliot Page reveals he’s joined his first dating appIn his 14-minute video complaining about the ban, published July 1, Peterson said that he’d “rather die” than delete the tweet.
Nonetheless, the tweet has since been deleted, and Peterson’s Twitter account has since been restored. (Presumably, he deleted it, though he hasn’t said so.)Regardless, video game fans began mocking another segment of Peterson’s pouty and pseudo-intellectual video where he says, “Up yours, woke moralists.
We’ll see who cancels who!” Like many transphobic right-wingers, Peterson opposes so-called “cancel culture” which champions social consequences for offensive speech.But the seriousness with which Peterson utters this is true supervillain camp.
