I am still perplexed by this idea that Peterson is some racist, bigoted monster.

If anything, a lot of what he says is just sort of uninteresting in that, it's common sense. I am intrigued by a lot of his ideas concerning personal responsibility and psychology. Beyond that, I tend to disagree when it comes to religion and agree only partially when he discusses politics. But a right-wing bigot? Far from it. Seems like a right-leaning moderate to me.

Note: I'm not even necessarily saying you're making these exact claims but your post seems to be running along the same line of thinking.

edit: I actually read 12 Rules For Life and found it to be an interesting read. I'm not some huge proponent of Peterson's ideas but I've found a lot of what he's said to at least be of some interest. I wonder if it's simply the phenomenon of people disliking any of these sort of these intellectual types who gain some fame in pop culture.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
