Andrew Tate

Not sure if we've had this nob yet, but apparently he's gathering a fair amount of support among young Muslims.

Seems like a nasty piece of work to me, but perhaps I'm out of touch what with all these Alpha Male types coming to prominence?

Textbook bell end.

And is being given airtime for some reason.

Not heard of him until then thankfully. Just shows how damaging the reach of social media can be, Can't belive how many people follow him! Pretty sure the world would be a better place if he wasn't on it.

Some stuff he says does make sense but the majority is just sensationalist to get himself in front of as many eyes as possible. But I can see how a teenager wouldn't be able to understand that and would just hang off his every word.

Common Tate w, Top G, Trigger don etc etc....

I think my daughter mentioned him.

Class A wker. Not on tiktok but needs reporting as many times as possible and get his platform removed ?

I'm amazed that no matter how stty the dude there'll be someone who starts with this. He's a violent bully and possible human trafficker & rapist. A parasite.

Seems the sort you'll see on a video either before during or after they've gone on some sort of shooting spree whining that women made him do it.

I don't know why people look up to these supposed "alpha male" types as deep down they seem incredibly insecure and crave attention.

That’s a damaging rhetoric to pass on to young female social media users.

Considering women between the ages of 18 to 24 make up the biggest user demographic on TikTok, it’s important that such messages don’t get broadcast without challenge.

Minor UK rag trying to get clicks off someone with a million times their reach shocker!

So he's big on TikTok? You could go your whole life without knowing people "big on TikTok" exist.

Essentially, he got dominated by a woman when younger, probably when learning kick boxing and had his arse handed to him, has had a hatred of them ever since.

Utter bell end and probably knows that other utter bell end, Scott Alexander

You or I could as it isn't a platform aimed at us.

For who it's aimed at which is mainly kids and young adults it's a massive platform.

It’s not about us middle aged blokes though, it’s the impressionable kids that are getting his content completely unfiltered. People wonder where kids pick up the misogyny that leads to teenagers leaking nudes and revenge porn, it’s there.

[Drezza]

He's an obnoxious bellend but it's quite hilarious how much he riles people

[poo at Paul's]

No, it clearly states who wrote the article.
Can’t you read?
Though If Hillary Clinton had written it, she probably would also have called this twunt out for what he is.

(Harrison may not want to hear this) Hillary is an intelligent, articulate and progressive woman so probably agrees with the message.

There is so much competition for attention bites on TikTok, I doubt any of them have any significant influence at all. This is more about the legacy media chasing their own clicks and influence.

11 billion views apparently.

Inside the violent, misogynistic world of TikTok’s new star, Andrew Tate

I didn't know he was "a thing" in the media, but bizarrely I've heard of his exploits in other circles previously. I remember him getting called out for inflating his Kick Boxing record a few years ago when he'd claimed that he'd fought on K1.
