model Yumi Nu's appearance on Twitter. Peterson, a clinical psychologist who regularly posts his university lectures on YouTube, said that the model was "not beautiful" after she appeared on the cover of Illustrated Swimsuit.

The Canadian was reacting to the New York Post's tweet about the cover, which stated that the singer-songwriter was 'shaking' at the thought of the cover reveal.Quote-tweeting the original post, Peterson said of the plus-size model’s cover debut: “Sorry.

Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.”Unsurprisingly the conservative critic was then lambasted by people online, who took issue with his dated views on what 'beauty' really is. “’Authoritarian’?
