Beforehand named “Canada’s most notorious mental” by Vice Information and the “custodian of the patriarchy” by The New York Occasions, blubbering meat puppet Jordan Peterson has now been diminished to creating lengthy YouTube movies whining about being kicked off Twitter for doubling down on transphobic feedback. Tragic information for the patriarchy, however good fodder for some actual good online game memes.
I’m not going to dignify the Darkish Internet dweeb’s newest cancellation theater by dissecting it, apart from to say the previous College of Toronto professor tweeted some actually offensive nonsense, was suspended from Twitter for it, after which stated on YouTube he’d reasonably die than delete the tweet. The video is 14 minutes lengthy and extremely produced regardless of consisting virtually solely of the person who as soon as refused to eat something however beef for a number of months ranting like a Batman villain about Twitter’s phrases of service.
Minus the hate speech it’s excessive camp, and social media responded accordingly, breaking out the particularly ridiculous components the place Peterson seems like a late ‘90s FMV antagonist and remixing them to well-known online game scenes. Particularly, the half the place he 100% unironically sputters “Up yours, woke moralists, we’ll see who cancels who!”
Command & Conquer: Crimson Alert 3’s Tim Curry was the obvious analog. However remixes for Steel Gear, Half-Life, and even Treatment’s Management shortly entered the combination.
However my favourite one had nothing to do with video video games. It was as an alternative a basic of the style.
Is Peterson mimicking Kermit the Frog or is Kermit the Frog mimicking Peterson? Who’s to say.
In fact, whereas the “We’ll see who cancels who” bit blew up on Twitter, it wasn’t even probably the most ridiculous a part of Peterson’s rant. “If I’m required to acknowledge that my tweet violated the Twitter guidelines—what guidelines you sons of bitches?!” he howled like a Canadian Waluigi elsewhere in the video.
Within the phrases of Tim Heidecker, what a weirdo.
