Honestly, what I have seen from Peterson is pretty boilerplate self-help stuff. I have no idea why people find him so offensive. Like, I get some of his stuff on alpha-male traits, femininity, etc... is kind of old-fashioned, but honestly, isn't his central message about taking responsibility for your actions? Some people - especially incels - need that kind of encouragement.
For what its worth, there is clearly something going on with young men that is overall pretty detrimental for a society shooting for egalitarian outcomes etc... I don't know what it is, but I am sure that Peterson's fairly significant social outcome has more to do with him just being a kind of sneaky alt-right propagandist.
