    Yeah, his self help stuff is what the faculty at any university hands our during orientation. Saying it was valuable was always a justification for liking him when the reality is his popularity is solely due to his transphobic stances.

      He's also a rabid anti communist and spreader of settler colonialist apologia, in addition to denying global warming and lying all of the god damn time

        Yeah, he's generally very reactionary. I'm sure his right wing views more broadly are the reason for his popularity with a certain subset of people, personally the only IRL JP fan I know is a preppy rich kid. I more meant that I think his transphobic views were his initial launch into "stardom".

          I mean that's literally true, he got famous for being extremely mad about laws that punish you for harassing trans people with the wrong pronouns
