It should be noted that Peterson's !2 Rules For Life sold more than five million copies, paying many of these snowflake's salaries, as well as funding the snowflake books that Penguin publishes that nobody buys.

They’re all free to seek employment elsewhere.

Management needs to make that fact crystal clear.

You can laugh at them all you want, but these hysterical freaks control the publishing industry.

Peterson is a breath of fresh air for those of us who do not follow the political correct agenda . He is , in essence , the spokesperson for people who are now considered anathema by the “progressives” who have destroyed our culture.

4 whiny people got all this free publicity for Dr. Peterson’s latest book.

Good for them. Good for him.

Yes, I've heard it's particularly bad in the world of Young Adult Fiction where you pretty much have to get the approval of every social justice demographic to get anything published.

Binary is an “either or” option. They’re stating his/her (imaginary?) friend is neither male nor female but something else (presumably something elegant until they end up in the asylum).

I imagine each rule is a chapter, and then there is probably an introductory chapter and a summary. Fourteen chapters all together.

.....one said the title didn’t appear in an internal database that normally includes all future books.

Just a glitch, I'm sure....

I fear this will be the new normal, and not just in the publishing industry. Stalinist censorship is creeping in everywhere. Anything the left doesn’t like is not just wrong. It’s also hate speech.

From the article:
“He is an icon of hate speech...”

My father was friends with a guy who worked in the industry. Even back in the 1980s it was controlled by the left and they were extremely hostile to older books that weren’t PC. Writers like Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft particularly attracted their ire hence the stimga attached to them as “pulp literature”. Now they’re trying to remove them from the shelves altogether.

It sounds like another polite, PC term for a plain ol’ trannie...
