Meet Cass Eris.

She has a PhD in cognitive psychology. Her life goal seems to be to make the longest critic of Jordan Petersson's
12 rules of life (She has a 40 video criticing the book, every video is between 30-40 minutes, and she is only on rule 6). Furthermore, she is severely mentally ill with multiple disorders including, bipolar and body dysmorphia.
Her critics are quite simple and could all be in one video. That is that she dislikes Petersson's politics, that he uses religious imagery, that he uses Jungian archetypes (and not cognitive psychology), and, if his rules are taken to an extreme by an autist who has bipolar disorder, they are bad rules.
For example:
In general, she seems to take everything that Peterson's say to the most extreme position. She lacks any sense of charitability or understanding that sometimes things aren't literal.
Peterson says that people should take responsibility for their lives and, by doing so, the faults of their lives. He says that with the help of the bible. Eris somehow spins this general rule to become that it was the victim of Catrina's faults that there was a hurricane. Because Peterson is a religious extremist who believes that the hurricane was through the hands of God or it was at least his implication. Moreover, she brings up the "just world" fallacy (we believe that everyone around us has earned what they have) and argues that it's simply not true because sometimes hard-working people fail.
Peterson also talks about not always overthinking your gut feeling. Humans are complex, which means we will never fully understand ourselves, but we all still have a sense of morality. His point is that we don't need to always think of why we have the morality we do, but we need to follow our ethics. Eris believes this means that Peterson is against personal growth. You know, because that means we should completely stop thinking about why we feel a certain way and then we'll be evil conservatives.
Peterson says that you shouldn't try to change society before you have your own life under control (because how else do you know if it is a problem of society, but he doesn't say that out loud). Eris sees this as being hypocritical since Peterson has personal issues. (Although from my knowledge Peterson has just been against changing laws which wouldn't be hypocritical, not a Peterson fan, so I don't know all his scandals.)
BTW, I don't get how someone who is a "mental health advocate" can ever use that someone is on anti-anxiety against someone else. Even if they dislike someone.
Finally, Peterson says that people should be humble as it will make them happier. Eris is butthurt.
She is also so pro-trans (as expected by a breadtuber). And I'm going to be honest, she's boring, and I could only manage to skim through one of the three videos she made on the topic. It was boring and predictable. I don't remember anything, and I refuse to go over it again.
To conclude, she is an SJW academic in psychology. She doesn't seem to be interested in being neutral or charitable when reading Peterson or any work that doesn't fit her political leaning, but what to expect from someone who appears to be unable to get a job within academia and needs to earn those Patreon bucks and live on her husband:

PS: She's not that good at makeup.
