‘Sorry. Not beautiful’: Jordan Peterson chased from Twitter after criticizing plus-sized SI swimsuit cover issue

The latest edition of the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has generated plenty of buzz over the “woke” magazine’s choice of models featured on the cover, particularly the inclusion of the plus-sized Yumi Nu who has drawn both raves and mockery from Twitter users.

The model and songwriter became the first plus-sized Asian to be so honored since the initial swimsuit issue hit newsstands back in 1964, joining celebrity superstar Kim Kardashian, billionaire Elon Musk’s 74-year-old mother Maye Musk, and Grammy award-winning singer Ciara as this year’s cover models.

One of those who criticized the inclusion of Nu is the controversial Canadian psychologist and YouTube personality Dr. Jordan Peterson, who tweeted “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.”

“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,” Peterson added in another tweet to a critic along with a link to an article, “but don’t let the facts stop you.”

Peterson’s criticism of Nu opened the door to a Twitter swarming by her defenders.

The pummeling appears to have gotten to Peterson who essentially cried uncle, announcing that he would be departing Twitter.

“I recently stopped accessing Twitter for three weeks as an experiment,” he wrote, “I had some of my staff post video links etc. It was a genuine relief. I started to read & write more. I started using it again, a few days ago, and I would say that my life got worse again almost instantly.”

“The endless flood of vicious insult is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else. I like to follow the people I know but I think the incentive structure of the platform makes it intrinsically and dangerously insane,” Peterson added.

He then said goodbye, “So I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation, and am departing once again. If I have something to say I’ll write an article or make a video. If the issue is not important enough to justify that then perhaps it would be best to just let it go.”

Other Twitter users weighed in with their own takes.

“I was processing the surprise of it not being a real interview and that this was actually the SI cover reveal. I could not speak. I had full body chills. I was shaking, I was crying. They really got me good,” Nu told the New York Post of her reaction to learning that she would be on the cover of the swimsuit issue.

  1. SI not alone in pushing the narrative that fat is beautiful and healthy.

  2. The day they named Bruce Jenner “Woman of the Year” is the day I stopped paying attention to SI. Oh wait, that’s not true. I stopped paying attention at least two decades prior to that.

    BTW, this chick on the cover has a pretty face but she’s fat af, and so freaking unhealthy.

    Why do we want to try and normalize obesity as something people should be okay with?

    Granted, her laziness and poor eating habits don’t affect me so she can deal with diabetes and hypertension on her own, but don’t pee on my leg and try to tell me it’s raining. It isn’t, it’s just the deviant liberals being their typical ignorant selves.

  3. “let’s put some really fat, and really old, people… and throw in a tranny or two for our magazine swimsuit issue… that would be really good for business and expanding our customer base”! Haha… also let’s give a couple of million bucks to blm! Man… that is one crackerjack corporate management team you got there SI. Hahaha…

  4. Cenk-er-sore Weezer is a typical Turk; he likes his women to be even fatter and uglier than himself but with a bit less facial and body hair. His propaganda/hate show (with the comically insane hysteric Kasparian) is aptly named after a bunch of genocidal Turks. He’s a prime example of why such sous-hommes must be kept out of Western Civilization.

  5. These pea brained loons say “you can’t force your opinion on us” to Peterson. Really? How did he do that? He has an opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think obese women are beautiful, buy the magazine. But attacking Peterson for pointing out the manipulative reasons for putting her on the cover is just more examples of the mental illness of media.

  6. SI is dead. They went woke, now they re going broke. The swimsuit edition was originally published because February/March were slow sports times to give the mostly men readers some eye candy before the summer season got underway. Was it sexist? You bet it was, but it was also the biggest selling edition of the year. Now it has become a magazine no one wants to look at. Peterson is right, no amount of airbrushing is going to make a fat woman look attractive. Her face is attractive, but her body is as big as mine. If I want to see fat, I can look in the mirror. Who do the publishers at SI think is going to want to buy this once entertaining edition? The answer is no one.

  7. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That being said, why was it necessary to have a swimsuit issue in the first place for a sports magazine? That has always irritated me. This nonsense was inevitable because they catered to men and forgot who they were. I’m female and I canceled my subscription to the magazine once they did this.

    I have cooking magazines. Why aren’t there scantily clad chefs in it? Oh yeah, grease spatters are painful.

    1. I cancelled all my “women’s” magazines DECADES ago when I realized they manipulate us with “recipes” for “delicious cakes & pies” then tell us to diet to get “swimsuit ready”. They tell us to be “natural” and then FILL their magazines with the Ads for chemicals called “makeup”. And when these magazines started putting trans-men as models, I laughed….women are so diminished, replaced & brainwashed who buy this garbage. And we should be smarter than that.

  8. Life is not fair, some people are beautiful, and most are not. That is why truly beautiful people are so highly regarded. We can see a fat woman or man, just about anywhere, at any time, look around – they are not rare these days. LOL

    1. So many women are overweight and out of shape maybe that’s where the market is taking them?

  9. The girl certainly has a pretty face, but Peterson is right. Nobody wants to see a well weighted woman in a bathing suit. That’s just the way it is, democrats. Personally, I think they should draw the line at size 10 when it comes to yoga pants.

    That being said, well weighted men who shed their t-shirts to do yard work or while at the beach are just as unpleasant on the eyes as anyone else. Have some self respect, guys. A tan ain’t gonna help.

    1. My mom always said fat looks better tanned than white. Just think of those fat south sea islanders. Can you imagine what they would look like white?

  10. Fat is beautiful if your butchering a hog or cow, or if your a tubby chaser . Im fatter now than I used to be. Its not pretty at all. Nor is it handsome. Not to mention that its unhealthy.

  11. Wanting to appear “Woke” is not good marketing, Catering to a very small percentage of your audience as with Black actors in TV commercials notice how even long running ads have edited in a black person just to fill some quota? Black population increased 10% since 2010 Hispanic increased 51% Who should you cater to?

  12. Normalizing obesity is going to bankrupt our health care system. Overweight and obese people are at higher risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some types of cancer, gall bladder disease, osteoarthritis, knee problems, gout and sleep apnea.

    I understand how difficult it is to lose weight, and I don’t think overweight people should be mocked. But pretending there’s nothing wrong with it is creating a situation where many don’t take it seriously enough in terms of their own health.
