The problem with Peterson is he is one of these typical free speech warriors who mistakes any criticism of his opinion with "having his free speech shut down by the pc police".
He doesn't understand the difference between state control of speech and social criticism or protest.
Guys like Peterson often weaponize the concept of free speech. They shield their own views or views that they agree with from criticism by invoking the free speech card (sometimes even defending genuinely hateful stuff).
But they do absolutely nothing to defend the free speech rights of those they disagree with as they are quite happy to see their views shut down (see Colin Kaepernick).
