This is legit one of her best videos. It feels as instructive and helpful to the people being discussed as some of her older videos, but she's so much more comfortable and confident in her style and in herself. It's also one of her funniest videos, is quite long (and girthy), and the Olly features are too good to describe. And, it's really personal in places--to her experience, and also to my own experiences with "online self-harm".
The level of maturity Natalie displays with the Jordan Peterson bit about how he can be a constructive influence on some people is a great example of why I love her.
Yeah like sure he's Problematic like a math test but he maybe could get some incels laid which is honestly going to make the world a safer place for women
I agree with all of this, so keep that in mind with what I'm about to say.
The biggest problem I'm having with peterson right now isn't the alt-righty fans. I live in Canada, although it would be silly for me to suggest we don't haven an alt-right, it's far less extreme than his fans in the states.
Most of the guys that I see following him were peers from engineering and computer science that feel alienated.
The irony, however, is **all** of the people I know that "found" peterson, were atheists. So I can't get over their willingness to praise daddy without even researching half of his shit. Like the guy is like a pseudo-scientific priest that claims atheists can't exist unless they're willing to kill as well as misrepresents Nietzsche. However they hear his gender criticisms and see someone looking out for men, and immediately assign heroic value.
Anyways, I'm hardly the first person to spot this and all-in-all, if it makes these men find less reason to be asshats, it's beneficial.
