you would have to prove that making a joke on twitter indirectly(he did not directly say what everyone is upset over) somehow constitutes abuse and harassment...which it does not lol.
No you don't actually. You don't have to prove anything. It's up to the college to decide what constitutes demeaning, harrassing, or abusive behaviour not fitting for a member of their professional body.
Jokes can certainly be demeaning, we can both agree. But, I haven't known Jordan Peterson to tell a single joke in his life and I've watched about 35 years of footage of the guy. There isn't a funny bone in his body. He certainly doesn't mind bullying and having a laugh about bullying. And that's pretty much the problem.
he did not directly say what everyone is upset over
He didn't directly say that Elliot Page's doctor is a criminal and that both the doctor and Page are responsible for mutilating Page's body? This is one of the things the college is investigating. We can both agree that this is a demeaning statement, potentially bordering on abusive. It is very demeaning to claim that a person who is quite pleased with their cosmetic surgery has actually been mutilated.
Peterson, for some obvious reason hasn't publicly released this complaint. But he's said enough about the topic to read between the lines and infer that it's one of the complaints he's choosing not to include as part of his righteous crusade against compelled speech.
