After some thought I think that Jordan Peterson is a cult leader, but a positive or benign cult leader depending on who you are. For a specific audience like young males, he is potentially beneficial, but for others outside of that target audience, he likely comes across as useless or annoying. I wouldn't say he is a negative cult leader as I envision someone like Jim Jones fitting into that mold as an extreme. Of course, there is more to this, but I am overgeneralizing.

He has a big following online mostly. He does draw in big crowds for his lectures too.

yeah but calling him a cult leader is a little bit extreme?
I was being partly facetious because some people like to call him that. I consider him as someone with enough charisma to attract a social following. Some would consider that being cult leader, others would not. I am not going to debate the semantics of that because I agree with your point. Regardless of whether he is one or not, I don't see him as someone that is negative.
