Jordan Peterson uploaded a document with screenshots of the complaints made against him to the College of Psychologists.The first allegation is that he, a licensed psychologist, made a joke about suicide directed at someone on Twitter.Here's what else it shows.Strap in. https://t.co/MPQTlZTYzm pic.twitter.com/LtGsLOeydz— Rachel Gilmore (@atRachelGilmore) January 6, 2023

CW for transphobia & bodyshaming

Looks like lobster boy's wacky antics are catching up with him! As an aside, I like how one of the complaints is that he talks about things which are outside of his area of expertise, with the Guardian reporting that scientists criticised his "word salad of nonsense" about climate change on the Joe Rogan podcast.

How people didn't pick up on this sooner, I'm not sure. He did the exact same thing in that Cathy Newman interview on C4 years ago when he brought up the lobsters, and he only got more popular after that. How has he not already been dismissed?

He has since deleted the document, and the screenshots from this twitter thread are all that remain.

lol

Also don't read the replies

    I unfortunately read the replies. Lots of "I don't see anything wrong here. He said nothing wrong."

    yeah ok you're not a certifying board of Canadian psychologists, they're the ones who set the standards for who gets to be a therapist. I know reactionaries just spew gibberish most of the time, but they really don't understand nor believe in expertise. They're really upset with the idea of eggheads setting guidelines or telling everyone what's real. They don't want to believe that a group of Peterson's peers can decide who's qualified to do certain things. Peterson isn't even being censored, he was told to submit himself for review and take some classes, right? No one has an intrinsic right to be a therapist if they're saying unethical things. In fact why do these reactionaries care? Peterson hasn't even had a patient since 2017. It's like that time Bill Clinton got suspended from practicing law, even though he was already president. It doesn't matter. Peterson lives off speaking fees and Daily Wire money now.
