Could you give some links or quotes please ? Tia.
I get where TY4C is coming from. I've seen a load of stuff on TikTok and YT shorts. Just go on TikTok and search for Andrew Tate. So many people share his stuff on there because like TY4C says, there is a lot of motivational stuff out there from him. It's very "alpha male" and perhaps it's what some people feel they need in order to be motivated to get st done. It's also part of how he lures in vulnerable young men.

I haven't heard of sexual aggression to describe an offence. I notice they haven't used abuse, so can't involve touching and no mention of harassment so does that mean it was consented until they got in the bedroom and he got all angry.
fking hell.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time. I really, really hope you know that.

Uncontrollable social media, lack of role models, and it's easy to see how society has got to where it is in the last 10-15 years people like Andrew Tate and Putin, polarising every aspect of life from politics to shopping habits. The internet was a fantastic creation for exchange of knowledge and freedom; however, it turns out that it's also a more powerful weapon than the nuclear bomb.
Dr Phil says something about the industrial revolution being a huge turning point in peoples lives, before industrialization 80% of populations worked in physical jobs usually as a family unit. The biggest change in society since then is the smart phone which has had an even more dramatic effect on populations. The anxiety, depression and suicide rates have gone through the roof. Its not progress at all!

Definitely Not in the UK.

In fact a quick look suggests that the suicide rate in the UK has been steadily declining since 1990.

In my opinion a big impact on the current state of society is the absence of strong male role models, this can be linked directly to the breakdown of the family unit.

I know it is old fashioned but a family unit that stays together has a much greater chance of generating stable and balanced children to grow into stable, productive adults. That said I do also think that waiting until you are sure that you choose a partner that will be viable for the long term before having children together helps massively in this respect.

In the absence of good role models children will seek out other influences to fill this need and et viola people like tate gain an audience to be taken advantage of.

Do people consider Tate a role model?

Or do they just buy into his self-improvement chat?

Of course they do or they wouldn't be following his content, buying his courses etc. If they didn't this thread wouldn't even exist because he would be a non-entity (as he should be)

And, do we have an data that shows whether his supporters come from any particular family demographic?

I suspect only anecdotal evidence from comments made by his fans or supporters about how he transformed their lives etc etc.

Is this not because we actually acknowledge it now? Rather than 30yrs ago when somebody with depression or anxiety was likely described "nice bloke but not quite the full ticket"

Cheers. I watched those bits and basically agree. Try and find out where people are coming from and think about meeting them half way.

I'm well aware of that, but it's not the question. The allegation is very specific and I'm not entirely sure what it actually means or the context involved.

So consent is withdrawn, he he hasn't tried to rape her, no touching or assault, so what is aggression exactly? Did he bare his teeth?

Thanks. Will have a watch listen. That editing is definitely meant for 6 year olds.

Has he been found guilty yet? No matter who it is I really despise trial by media. This direction worries me far more, it’s so indiscriminate as well, almost planned in its unplanned nature.

Totally different example, I remember a teacher hitting a horse and it appeared in newspapers/media. She had death threats, lost her job and left her house and I don’t think her life fully recovered. A few weeks later, a famous equestrian personality did the same thing, hardly made the news, all feels a bit strange to me how things are turning out.

Again, are you really asking this? I mean, really? The dude is jacked and is a kickboxing champion. Does he need to touch her? ALSO there is literally video footage of him beating a woman but sure, you do you.

That one was even worse in the end, she was cleared of any wrong doing at all in the end

She was found not guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to the animal, because it could not be proven that the horse experienced bruising, or more than minor discomfort. Two vets appeared in court and gave opposing views. I think even she accepted that what she did was in general wrong and unacceptable treatment.
