Peterson, Rowling and Gaines: the personalities who suffer the wrath of political correctness

There are several personalities who have been canceled due to their opinions and stances that run contrary to the globalist doctrine. Cultural, racial and gender ideologies have become the subject of controversy in recent times. However, far from fueling the debate, there are numerous cases of public personalities who have been publicly derided for refusing to bow down to mainstream opinion.

From academia to sports, and through the world of acting and literature, these are some of the personalities who have been canceled, attacked and put in danger of losing their jobs for not adhering to this global trend.

Jordan B. Peterson

The Canadian psychologist suffered the consequences for going against the globalist agenda by referring to trans performer Elliot Page's mastectomy. "Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician," he said. This caused him to be banned from Twitter (now X). Another platform that censored him was YouTube, this time for his opinion on vaccines. But the ideological persecution of Dr. Peterson and his thoughts did not end there.

Far from backing down, the renowned psychologist presented an alternative that would oppose the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its globalist narrative. His aim includes getting "energy and resources at the lowest possible cost, as rapidly as possible, to the largest number of people around the world," as well as taking a "pro-human view" of earth stewardship. He also emphasized a "vision on the family policy front to facilitate the encouragement of and the maintenance of long-term, monogamous couples who are child-centered" and rediscovering humans' "story," specifically in regards to "voluntary play" as opposed to "the spirit of power" ruling.

After expressing his opinions on social media, the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) threatened to withdraw Peterson's psychology license because he spoke out against the censorship of Justin Trudeau's government. He was required to undergo a "training program" so he would "review, reflect on and ameliorate [his] professionalism in public statements." Dr. Peterson's response was to take legal action against the CPO. Finally, in August, a Canadian court ruled that Dr. Peterson has to receive "social media training."

J. K. Rowling

Her creativity and imagination produced one of the most successful book series in history, whose popularity skyrocketed when it was adapted to the cinema. J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter saga was cancelled for replying to an op-ed referring to women as "people who menstruate":

For this comment, a simple tweet, Rowling was called aggressive names such as "bi***" or "feminazi." Rowling had the support of several personalities, such as two of the actors who belonged to the cast of the Harry Potter film saga, Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter.

On another occasion, Rowling was critical of several performers who supported Mermaids, a charity for transgender children, which was alleged to have connections to pedophilia. This also provoked the ire of the woke mob. The writer went on to say that there was something "dangerous" behind this movement.

Jonathan Isaac

In 2020, the woke mob lashed out at Orlando Magic player Jonathan Isaac for not kneeling or wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt while the national anthem was played before a game. Despite the attacks he suffered, his teammates and coach supported his decision.

Years later, in 2023, Jonathan Isaac created an anti-woke clothing brand. Unitus is a brand based on Christian and patriotic values. Isaac explained what was the reason that led him to found it:

On another occasion, he came under fire when he criticized the decision of U.S. women's national team players who did not want to sing the anthem or put their hands on the shield during the protocol prior to a Women's World Cup match.

Riley Gaines

Sticking in the world of sports, there is also the case of Riley Gaines. This National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) swimmer spoke out about transgender participation in women's sports after seeing how Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer, took titles from her and the rest of her teammates. In Gaines' opinion, it was enough for Thomas simply to identify as a woman. Swimming is one of the most demanding sports on a physical level, so, being a biological male with inherent anatomic advantages, Thomas gained a massive advantage, as is recognized by international swimming organizations.

The story does not end there. In addition, the swimmers had to share a dressing room with Thomas, who retains his male reproductive organs. This case ultimately reached Congress.

Paula Scanlan, one of Lia Thomas' former teammates at the University of Pennsylvania, said that sharing a locker room with a biological male was an unnerving experience. "I would be at my locker and then all of a sudden hear a masculine voice, and I would just jump. ... I was like, 'Oh my gosh, somebody got in here.' ... I had nightmares for weeks about men being there while we were dressing," she said. "If even one girl is discouraged from competing in sports over this, we’ve failed," she added. “It’s so important to give girls these same opportunities."

The fact that Gaines outwardly opposed the participation of trans people in women's sports led her to be censored and targeted online. She was branded as homophobic and even attacked and harassed by the LGBT lobby.

Former tennis player Martina Navratilova; former swimmer Donna de Varona, winner of an Olympic gold, and sprinter Benita Fitzgerald Brown all spoke out in support of Gaines. In the fall, Gaines will open The Riley Gaines Center, a center that aims to "build a movement to stand up for women's sports and common-sense American values."

Jim Caviezel and 'Sound of Freedom'

No one was betting that "Sound of Freedom" would succeed. However, the movie's box office success spoke for itself. The film directed by Alejandro Monteverde and co-produced by Mexican presidential candidate Eduardo Verástegui, tells the story of Timothy Ballard (Jim Caviezel), a former agent of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) who saved hundreds of children from child sex trafficking. With a budget of just $10 million, it has grossed almost $200 million in the two months it has been in theaters.

One of the film's main themes, pedophilia, did not sit well with certain audiences, and the establishment media did not take long to attack the film and its production team. Many of them did so by linking Ballard to QAnon and other far-right movements. The film has suffered from cancel culture in its own way. Just a few days ago, SOUTHCOM decided not to air two planned "Sound of Freedom" screenings at its headquarters in Florida due to political backlash.
