I remember when everyone thought highly of him and bought his books just a few years ago.
Now everybody is clowning on him and making fun of his mental health.

What happened?

It's kinda wild how the political spectrum has shifted on social media. Being a leftie is the new-cool I feel like.

As someone who is neither on the left nor the right, I think that makes me the ultimate memer. I can't wait till it's my time to shine.

I remember lots of popular Youtubers talking to and about Peterson during the peak of his fame. The most popular of them all, Pewdiepie, did as well.

It wasn't just "the right" who was a fan of his. It was all sort of people (except the extremists of course).

A professor. A psychologist. He wrote the best-seller 12 rules to life.

Most people who talk about politics are clueless, do not worry.

Yeh, he was somewhat respected in academic circles for being a psychology professor but even then there were tons of people who didn't agree with his findings, it's an interesting read.

Just one example is Ethan Klein (h3). He had Peterson on his podcast twice and praised him the entire time. A few years later (there were no bad interactions between the two beforehand). Once it became popular to hate on Peterson, he has made countless of podcasts about him. He has multiple times made fun of his "benzo addiction", talking about how ill and disturbed he looks etc. Honestly, it's too much to even put in writing but you can look it up yourself. It's very disturbing to say the least. Ethan Klein who is supposed to be this progressive and known for heavily criticizing "toxic masculinity", makes fun of Peterson for crying over and over again.

The difference is that John Green wrote books for teenagers. Once they grew up they realized how overrated and lacking his books were. Petersons audience were (and still is) mostly young adults.

The critique I heard was about how creepy it was for an adult man to write books, where the main audience was teenage girls. Also something about sexism, but I honestly don't remember anymore.

Young adults are also little shits. If you fall out of favor with your audience it has for some reason become acceptable to bully them and degrade them. It's unfortunately just how the internet is. Age doesn't really matter here either. I have had this close to me, because I had a friend who was bullied into more than one life-ending attempt by Twitter, where some of the people that were part of the bullying were 30 years old.

Jordan Peterson is labelled as a "right wing hero" and has gotten a lot of flack for some critique of a swimsuit model. www.dailydot.com/debug/jordan-peterson-quits-twitter/
So that's probably why he's become fair game to ridicule. American politics are very toxic, and if you aren't part of the hive mind then it's apparently okay to bully someone.
