Toxic masculinity off the charts and way way beyond the noms.
A disgusting sense of entitlement. This dude is sick,... thinking all the while he can treat women as barnyard animals. Throw a saddle on her and take her for a joy ride,.. then dump her when you are done.

Tate is a very dangerous person. He is monetizing toxic masculinity down to a science and actively seeking out young men who he can teach his vile conceptions to of dating,.. relationships,.. interactions, and dealing with the opposite sex.

YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook have all banned the former kickboxer. That hasnt stopped teachers worrying about his influence on teenage boys

Andrew Tate or, to give him his full title, the king of toxic masculinity is a total enigma to the digital latecomer. Originally a kickboxer from Luton, he arrived in the public eye by being expelled from Big Brother in 2016, after video footage emerged of him beating a woman with a belt. It was just a kink thing, they both said, totally consensual, but Tate then went very public with his view that women are scum. His online profile soared: he now has 12.7bn social media views, and more Google searches than Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian. He was banned from the core platforms YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook last week, and yet apparently this makes no odds, since his soldiers can still find his content if they just look hard enough, which they do. He is the poster boy of the manosphere, and, as much as you might wish to take the wasp approach ignore him and eventually hell go away - this peacocking of unpleasantness is not without consequence. He is a key influencer of young teenage boys, and apparently, according to worried teachers theyre taking him quite literally.
Talk to your sons, people on Twitter say, so I casually asked my 14-year-old about Tate. These days I skirt quite carefully around the issue of culturally embedded misogyny, after I had such a tantrum about How I Met Your Mother, in which the female characters are bolted together like two halves of different cars, that he said hed never watch TV with me again. So I didnt say, What do you make of Andrew Tate, loathed bringer of hatred?. I just said, What do you make of Andrew Tate?, all innocent like.

Tate actually has a web site were he charges $5,000.00/year to join where he claims to coach young males how to become filthy rich just like him.
It is a throwback of Trump University were "The Donald" promised to make you a real estate mogul just like he is if you would pay him $30,000.00.

Tate is all over the Internet.
He is a Messiah for the incel (involuntarily celibate) crowd. Promising to teach young men the arts of dealing with women by treating them like trash and how to make money to become filthy filthy rich.
He needs to be taken down off You Tube and off the web.

Andrew likely wishes he had promptly recycled those old pizza boxes. But for Andrew Tate even the thought of recycling was to pinko green tree hugger crap for a alpha macho man such as him.
Ha ha. Andrew ended up getting recycled into jail by a cardboard pizza box - thanks to Ms. Thunberg.

Tate is a pimp. He uses all the same techniques to get control of women that pimps have been using for centuries,.
All the kick-boxing on the planet is still brawn not brain.
Damn effing criminal was hoisted with his own petard

(16,968 posts)I would not be surprised that he brokers drugs into Eastern Europe - and where else who know ? He is swimming in excessive cash. I think he owns a few casinos too.
He is toxic but holds himself up as the ideal mentor of younger males because of his hyper macho male brand he is currently monetizing and exploiting to enrich himself further.
He is a bane on society,.. detracts from but contributes little.
