![]() ![]() Ironically, one of the main things Peterson advocates for is for young men to take personal responsibility and stop blaming the world for their problems, which is the antithesis of what incels stand for. In a culture that demonizes masculinity (whether it's healthy or not), a public figure like Peterson who advocates for healthy masculinity should be a good thing, but the media (and Wilde) have been quick to label Peterson as someone akin to Andrew Tate. Though I don’t agree with everything Peterson says, I’ve read much of his work and know that he is an advocate for individualism, personal responsibility, and mental health, especially when it comes to young men. The problem with this statement and narrative is that anyone who has ever read Peterson’s work knows that this couldn’t be further from the truth about what Peterson stands for. But this guy Jordan Peterson is someone that legitimizes certain aspects of their movement because he’s a former professor, he’s an author, he wears a suit, so they feel like this is a real philosophy that should be taken seriously.” ![]() ![]() Wilde continued, “They’re actually succeeding in many different ways. basically disenfranchised, mostly white men, who believe they are entitled to sex from women, they believe that society has now robbed them – that the idea of feminism is working against nature, and that we must be put back into the correct place.” Wilde said, “We based that character on this insane man, Jordan Peterson, who is this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community. *Major spoilers ahead* Olivia Wilde Claims the Movie’s Villain Is Based on Jordan Petersonīefore the movie was released, Wilde said that the movie’s villain, Frank (Chris Pine), was based on famous clinical psychologist and author Jordan Peterson. Though I enjoyed the movie for its aesthetic and thought Florence Pugh was phenomenal (Chris Pine and Gemma Chan also gave great performances, but they’re barely in the movie), I can’t get over how flawed the movie’s message on masculinity was. It also went viral when director Olivia Wilde said that she based the movie's villain on Jordan Peterson and referred to him as an “incel hero,” which is only funny because it doesn’t make any sense. The trailer makes the movie look like a psychological thriller that’s similar to The Stepford Wives blended with The Matrix, but didn't provide many plot details. Many went to the theater just to see the movie that produced so much drama and to support the amazingly talented Florence Pugh, but with little to no knowledge of the plot. From the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Wilde allegedly cheating on Jason Sudeikis with Harry Styles to her alleged feud with Florence Pugh, most of the attention the movie has received has nothing to do with its content. ![]()
