Yup. Same mechanism as mass public shaming, but with two loose fronts warring over interpretations. So you get "Peterson is Jesus on the Cross" vs. "Peterson believes women should be kept on a retractable leash." Neither of which is a real person.

he's more objectionable than that thread makes out. Mostly, however, he's just boring and second rate. And he did court controversy, and has done very well out of it, so I don't think I'll worry much for him.

Well, I both agree and disagree. I don't think his contributions to psychology is at all boring and second rate. I do think almost all his political opinions are, and that he treats them with the same self-seriousness as his much more sophisticated psychological research.
