Dr. Jordan Peterson blasts Sports Illustrated over obese covergirl swimsuit issue

Dr. Jordan Peterson responded on Twitter to a New York Post headline about Sports Illustrated's 2022 Swimsuit Issue featuring an obese woman model named Yumi Nu as its covergirl.

Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that. https://t.co/rOASeeQvee

Admittedly, Nu has a pretty face, albeit somewhat large. But to put overweight women in the annual Swimsuit edition and virtue signal how woke they are, SI has made young men throughout the land quite distraught.

Peterson voiced his objection in response to a Twitter user whose entire life centers around finding something to criticize online. Peterson responded to the loser thusly:

It's a conscious progressive attempt to manipulate & retool the notion of beauty, reliant on the idiot philosophy that such preferences are learned & properly changed by those who know better (see https://t.co/RLOu4wlNM6)(https://t.co/tUzihxdXOl) but don't let the facts stop you. https://t.co/90uEnV6DL3

The links in his tweet are two studies: the first from a 1998 study in Infant Behavior and Development showing that babies focus on faces judged to be more attractive by adults. In the second 2009 study published in Evolution and Human Behavior, it found that more attractive women had more children than less attractive ones, such as overweight women and men who identify as women, and the least attractive men sired fewer children than every other group of men, who had about the same number of children. This may indicate that physical attractiveness may be related to reproductive success rates.

Peterson was responding to a New York Post interview with Nu, who will be one of the covergirls on the 2022 Swimsuit Issue as will Kim Kardashian, singer Ciara, and Maye Musk, Elon's mom.

The 25-year-old Nu is of Dutch and Japanese ancestry and is the granddaughter of Rocky Aoki the Benihana chain of restaurants founder. Perhaps Nu spent a lot of time testing the product as a child.

In the interview, Nu spoke of her excitement at the opportunity to be on the cover of a men's sports magazine and described herself as a champion of body and race diversity, a subliminal way of saying that she's fat, not white, and proud of it.

She was not asked about her overall health such as blood pressure, diabetes situation, and her ability to walk without getting out of breath. She did, however, express her delight over being chosen to represent the sports magazine's new take on their definition of beauty.

“It’s amazing. I’m on cloud nine,” she told the Post. “This is nothing I could prepare for. It’s unexpected. I feel like we’re in a place right now where people are making space for more diversity on magazine covers. It’s a big time for Asian-American people in media. I know I play a big role in representation in body diversity and race diversity, and I love to be a role model and representative of the plus-size Asian community.”

Let's consider her comments:

Nu said that being chosen is nothing she could prepare for, but that isn't completely true. Nu has spent 25 years preparing, but she was unaware that her eating habits were going to put her on a sports magazine cover. Sure, it may have been unexpected, but that was before the world got woke. 

The magazine also includes a number of race and body diversity firsts: the first breast cancer survivor; the first indigenous woman, a NASA physicist; a woman showing her C-section scar; a woman with four belly buttons; a woman with eczema; and a woman with a penis.

In terms of diversity, the concept is a load of bull plop.

Why doesn't Sports Illustrated have people like Brian Stelter and Michael Moore on the Swimsuit Edition? You want diverse, that would really be diverse and show the world that a woman can be anything, except if you're a biologist and know the truth.

The Left ruins everything.
