Can someone explain to me what this guy is/was about and if he's changed? I haven't followed him very closely, but I don't remember him being a complete and utter retard until recently. Starting out he seemed pretty reasonable if milquetoast: Opposing compelled speech wrt tranny pronouns, wrecking Cathy Newman in that interview, etc. But he's also some cock carousel rider's betabux and raised a whore daughter who fucked Andrew Tate. He succumbed to a benzo addiction at some point, and now he posts stupid tradcuck shit all the time. Am I missing something?

The first step in the Red Pill is listening to Jordan Peterson.
The next step is moving past him.
I appreciate his work in getting young men to snap out of the gynocentric mindset of today. However, to put it bluntly, he has outlived his usefulness, especially after his [benzo?] addiction crisis. He is not the same as he was before.
He is a useful "nudge" in this direction. The thing about anti-liberal/progressive opinion is once you start questioning it's difficult to control where you end up.
If you held a gun to my head and asked me "what was your first red pill on the media?" I would truthfully answer "the Jon Stewart Daily Show segments where he showed 20 different pundits use the exact same phrase on the Sunday morning politics shows" Obviously his goal in showing that was to make me a leftist, but by showing how the trick was done he lost control over how and where his audience applied the method.
And now that we're in bizarro-world 2004 where everything is flipped and the "weird" people are all on the right, an honest application of his methods today leads one to the opposite conclusion as he would have wanted then.
His Interview with Kathy Newman really struck me back then. I'd never heard someone so calmly and thoroughly dismantle feminism before. I was stuck in the left wing media bubble.
Now he reminds me of a cringe boomer uncle on twitter.
