Petersonian

A term which has recently popped up in meme culture after being said by bronzeswords on twitter, and later used in a Sonic The Hedgehog Parody made by youtuber Jehtt.

Nobody truly knows what it means, but it's derivative actually comes from famous psychologist and political speaker Jordan Peterson, who speaks on the human nature, moral discussions, and other philosophical mediums brought into modern society.

bronzeswords is attempting to take Jordan Peterson's philosophical takes on humanity and apply them in a metaphorical way that grasps at his intentions during his tangent.

"I was thinking about why so many in the radical left participate in "speedrunning" The reason is the left's lack of work ethic ('go fast' rather than 'do it right') and, in a Petersonian sense, to elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the marketplace ('fastest mario')."
"...Hey man, what the fuck are you talking about?"

At first I thought Disney's "Hercules" was just a fun cartoon made for kids, but then I noticed there's a very Petersonian narrative here, wherein the titular demigod has a burden of physical strength that he cannot control and chooses to bear it in pursuit of becoming a "true hero," and on that journey he acquires a new strength: of character.
