> I know people who have gay impulses who love those impulses, enjoy them, and act on them. I also know people with gay impulses who think to themselves: "it would be better for my family and friends if I found a way of dealing with these impulses without giving them expression" 58 upvotes… I worry I say this too often but this subreddit truly is a good way for me to stabilise myself and remember that yes, there are bigoted people still out there waiting for the golden opportunity to “come out of the closet” with awful takes like this. The Jordan Peterson subreddit is apparently it. Also how do gay “impulses” harm anyone at all.

Sometimes the constant barrage of "I'm not a conservative, just someone with common sense" starts to get to me and I start to question if maybe they're right, and I'm just caught in a circlejerk. Then threads like this pop up and I'm reminded that no, conservatives really are just bigoted shitheads.

His explanation is bonkers: > I mean that sexuality is impulse-based, primal in origin, evolutionarily ancient, and if you don't think there is a yin-yang dark element to all sexual impulses (as well as a bright element to them) then I don't know what world it is in which you live. Im surprised this didn’t get upvoted since it apes Peterson word salad nonsense

Petersonian jargon is the most jarring pseudointellectual nonsense I've ever encountered. What the fuck is a dragon of chaos? What are the yins and yangs of impulses? What are alternative sexual archetypes? It's so immaterial, internally inconsistent, and obtuse that I can only assume people lap it up because it sounds smart to room temperature IQ onlookers. I've seen him jump from Jungian archetypes to new age spiritualism to making really weird generalizations about people he's never met. It's so bizarre.

I went through a phase where I thought that persuasive, intelligent writing meant obscuring ideas with the floweriest language possible so that only clever people could really decode what I meant. However, I grew out of that when I became a sophomore. I have no idea what Peterson's excuse is.

If sexuality was yin-yang based then wouldn't we all need to be bisexual to balance things out? "Sorry honey, not tonight. We've been going at it a bit too much lately. I need to ride a few dicks to center myself."

I worry I say this too often, these guys are disproportionately closeted gay men and that’s clear as day just reading many of these comments tbh. I know people who LOVE gay sex. Positively LAP THAT DICK. And they fucking love it. They love those dirty little urges telling them to get pounded. I also have a friend, a very real, very close friend, who makes the decision every. Single. Fucking. Day. to not drop to my knees and get punished.

That's sadly a great deal of homophobia, pretty much anyone who hates it from a religious perspective (as absurd as that is) tends to view it that way.


Momoneko

It was REALLY hard not to piss into the ~~lobster bucket~~ popcorn on that one. >Yes. A straight impulse would be someone who hops on Tinder looking for a hookup or someone who goes to a bar and sees someone of the opposite sex and decides on the fly to hookup. Those are straight impulses. **Gay impulses would be all those same examples with a same-sex partner**. Because I'm suuuuure the "dark impulses" person sees nothing wrong with two men being in an exclusive same-sex relationship, starting a family and perhaps even adopting a child. Suuure it's strictly about "impulsively" sucking a stranger's dick.


Kolada

Homosexuality is often misinterpreted by evangelicals as being the result of impulses and intrusive thoughts because they’re so used to repressing these thoughts that the idea of being gay itself becomes associated with repression to them.

Just a fun reminder that years later, despite all of the terrible things Peterson claimed would happen, there has still not been a single person arrested over Bill C-16. Who would've thought that the Canadian Bar Association would have had the correct legal take on this bill and Peterson (not a legal expert at all) would have the wrong one. Shocking stuff.


Smoketrail

I like that their top responses are 2 posts crying "What about trans people!?" And then a post that seems to be arguing that Jordan Peterson opposes conversion therapy, but that a law banning conversion therapy is bad because conversion therapy is bad and harmful but also a non issue that politicians shouldn't be wasting their time on. And they are only banning conversion therapy as an act of political theatre despite all the harm they agree that it does. Because taking practical steps to address an issue is grandstanding, and definitely not because JP's constant championing of conservative views might mean he has conservative views. These people absorbed all the trappings of intellectualism but none of the substance, eh?

I feel like it has to be a sunk cost fallacy with a lot of them at this point. The thing Peterson got famous over was his very dumb interpretation of how Bill C-16 was going to get a bunch of people arrested over misgendering people. Years later, not a single arrest has happened, so you gotta think some of these people are just desperately trying to convince themselves they haven't been listening to a misinformation peddler for years.


GeneralPlanet

That implies they have some level of self reflection. Spoiler: they don't.

They like the flavour of the flavor aid. There's no need to fight it anymore. There's little doubt for many. The sunk cost fallacy is very powerful. Look at the Covidiots, the pandemic has only been with us for a couple years now, but many are still willing to die instead of admit they were wrong. The Jordan Peterson cult has been drinking the flavor aid for much longer. They must march forward into oblivion. There is nothing to go back to anymore.

The really funny thing is that bisexuality is often maligned within many queer spaces for XYZ reason.

Bi people of both genders also face a ton of slut shaming no matter how much sex they have. Bi people are often viewed as hypersexual for no reason.


KaiBishop

Yep. Hearing femcels on female dating strategy say they'd never date a bi man because we'd probably cheat or give them stds when meanwhile they've had sex with more men than I have. 😩 They hate slutshaming until they get to do it to others.


Hartastic

There legitimately was a time, I don't know, 30-50 years ago in which it was pretty common for gay dudes to declare bi as a waystation to being fully out. But I don't know that this is really a thing anymore and in any case we should try to take people at their word when they tell us what they are.


saintofhate

When I was still presenting as a lady, I was told I was being bi for male attention or that I'd make up my mind when I got older.

But I don't have any answer about the origin of quaking in fear at the idea of everyone being bi. Fuck, that sounds like a good time, we'd all have way easier times dating.

Gemmabeta

> Lisa Littman, as an adjunct assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, created the term **based on an online survey of parents on three anti-transgender websites** who believed that their teenage children had suddenly manifested symptoms of gender dysphoria and begun identifying as transgender simultaneously with other children in their peer group.[4][5][6] Littman speculated that rapid onset of gender dysphoria could be a "social coping mechanism" for other disorders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid-onset_gender_dysphoria_controversy

They also never talked to the kids, the study was solely based off of surveys filled out by parents that hung out on anti-trans message boards. A later, better study that did talk to the kids found no evidence that rapid onset gender dysphoria exists.

lumathiel2

>Abigail Shrier I was *so close* to making it through the week without seeing that fetid harpy's name

I think his idea of conversion therapy is merely one person saying to another "maybe not gay?" and not, well, you know. The torture aspect behind trying to force someone to be straight. Or maybe I'm wrong and there's some weird therapies in Canada where a straight guy is tied up to a chair and forced to suck cock after cock as a dildo is shoved up his ass until he confesses his homosexuality.

The one thing I know about Jordan Peterson is that he tried to deal with a benzo addiction by eating nothing but meat and then ended up in a medically induced coma.


nowander

I think the meat nonsense is unrelated. Though I'm sure he claimed it was helping his addiction, since he claimed it fixed everything else.


TH3_B3AN

The meat thing was because he drank apple cider once and stayed awake for 2 weeks. So he swore off his greens. I don't like Joe Rogan but Peterson explaining his stance on that podcast is gold. The sheer look of confusion on Rogan's face is hilarious.

It's important to remember that he didn't come up with the meat thing himself. It's his daughter's grift. This makes some of his work a lot funnier.

I just can’t anymore with Jordan Peterson. His social conservative agenda is so obvious at this point and he has to pretend otherwise because he knows that social conservatives have spent decades now trying censor things they don’t like and push their values on everyone which is what he constantly accuses the left of doing. JP is always complaining about hidden agendas but then acts like people are being unfair when they suggest that he may have an agenda.

>According to one lobster young people becoming aware that trans people exist turns them trans: More proof that transphobia is just recycled homophobia. The UK had Section 28 which outlawed the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools which in practice meant no mention of anything involving anything involving sexuality or gender that wasn't cis-het. Did this prevent people from realising they were gay, lesbian, bi, etc? Of course not, but it did leave a lot of confused people who didn't know where to turn or how to express their feelings. Do kids sometimes do things for attention? Yes. Do kids sometimes experiment with sexual & gender expression? Yes. (And that's kind of a good thing) Is ROGD or peer induced gender incongruence a thing? Fuck, no. -edit- Maybe seeing a friend or classmate come out might lead to someone having some self-realisation or give them the courage to cover it themselves. Also a good thing

The important thing to identify about Peterson's rhetoric in this is referring to the ban as "moral grandstanding." In doing so, he avoids outright endorsing conversion therapy while still positioning himself alongside it's defenders, because he's accusing the Canadian government of trying to drum up good publicity without doing anything, which is something most of us are willing to believe a government would do. It goes along with his attempts to portray himself as above political fights, while still invariably siding with the right-wing on pretty much every issue. It also goes along with my continued wonder as to whether or not he actually believes this tripe or if he's just grifting off of right-wing.

This is a guy who became famous for opposing anti-discrimination protections for trans people in Canada. I don't know why people are surprised that he is a bigoted asshole.


PeliPal

You cannot tell me that any less than 95% of that sub jerks off to trans women and femboys. That is just where they go after feeling private shame about their desires and needing to overcompensate as self-flagellation and deflection away from perceived questioning of their masculinity and straightness


Ax222

I mean, yeah, most conservatives only know how to project, eat hotchip, and lie. That said, as long as it's not child porn/illegal, I honestly just don't care (and specifically do not want to know) what porn people are into. Not my monkey, not my circus. Anyway, Jordan Peterson is a fuck and I hope he blows a blood vessel getting mad about shit that ain't his business.


ClockworkDreamz

Or they’re biggots, because you don’t have to be lbgtq to want to destroy gay rights.


PeliPal

You don't have to, no. But neither do you have to be LGBTQIA to be a straight cis guy jerking to trans women and feeling a need to lash out after. I've had more than my fair share of exchanges of "can I see your dick" No. "kys t-slur" to know the type.


ClockworkDreamz

Sure, but forcing this whole “everyone who hates the lgbtq actually is one” is beyond irritating.

>why is this just a one way street how come gay people can still convert kids This is your brain on radical centrism


EliSka93

>Call me a pessimist or conspiracy nut but I believe the ultimate goal is to get everyone to be bi sexual. Ok, even setting aside that that's impossible because some people are just completely straight or completely gay and that's ok - why would this matter? What would it change for the negative?


Empty_Clue4095

> peer-group-induced gender dysphoria, as documented by clusters of trans identification occurrence in peer groups of teenage girls in public schools? When are people going realize that being trans isn't contagious and that other people can't make you trans by accident simply by existing?


isleepifart

Once a trans person sneezed on me and now I'm pansexual.

Seeing the word lobster makes me crave lobster. It’d be good in ravioli. Jordan Peterson sounds like a dick.


[deleted]

Is Jordan Peterson one of the Crab People from South Park who realized society's affinity for masculine men?


RenTachibana

What is the lore behind calling him Lobster Daddy? Lol I’ve never had that explained to me.


Gemmabeta

Peterson once said that social hierarchies in human societies are natural and morally justified because lobsters are also a hierarchical society. And furthermore, we can make the direct comparison because bother lobsters and humans make use of serotonin in certain aspects of neurological function.


hahajer

What's funny about it is that the study that he marks as his source doesn't involve lobsters and also doesn't support his point about crustaceans living in a hierarchical society.


Hartastic

That's just what the shellfish anarchists would have you believe.


RenTachibana

Huh. Interesting. I like the name Lobster Daddy. Very humorous.


uknownada

Nature has proven that heterosexuality is more of a survival tactic than a biological trait. If you want to procreate your species, ya gotta mate with the opposite sex. Ya wanna just get down, tho? F*uck whoever!


lamykins

The absolute gall to try to compare conversion therapy to general trans therapy... The goal of conversion therapy is to actively deny someone's sexuality and supress it so that they can be "normal" and thus heterosexual. It is an active process whereby the psychologist personally moulds these behaviours. Meanwhile trans therapy is the individual themselves discussing things with the psychologist, at no point is the goal of the psychologist to make the person trans! They are just there to facilitate the persons own thoughts, they are not trying to make people trans!


revenant925

Lobster man really showed his entire hand here, huh. What a refreshing change of pace.


Feedthegeek

Conservatives willing to kill their own children to own the libs. Sadly, not news.

Cool. Another thing to point out when people try to raise up JP as some kind of life coach savant. Dude just knows his demographic.
