Really amused by the “we vaguely disapprove of this person but can’t articulate why” genre of passive-aggressive longform journalism currently being applied to Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, et al.https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/08/my-joe-rogan-experience/594802/ …

It's fascinating to see how this nuanced piece irritated so many people on all sides. I can't tell if your tweet is genuine or not. If you want someone to explain what the author's concern about Rogan is, lmk and I'd be happy to take a shot at explaining it.
I don't listen to Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson. I just find this genre of passive aggressive, nonspecific-disapproval journalism funny.

Dislike for Peterson often centers on his extrapolating group averages (some real + some imagined) as dictates for how members of a group should style their lives. He has a strong view of how things "should be," which is inherently threatening to people who want to be otherwise.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

One prominent, specific disapproval in this article is Rogan is a guy who relates to people on a "I can get along with this guy ergo he is an okay guy" level while feeling very little empathy towards the people potentially harmed by that guy.
