To ask your thoughts on Andrew Tate?

I went out for dinner recently and all of my nephews aged between 13-26 had a lots of respect for him.

While I agree with a lot of what Andrew Tate says he then has to spoil things with his horrific views on certain topics and I'd go as far as to say some of his points make him dangerous to young men (it concerned me how my nephews really respect him)

What are your thoughts on Andrew Tate?? But also, why do so many respect him in this way when he is so dangerous? Or is it that most people clearly secretly feel this way too?!

I'm pretty sure that loads of people suffer terrible things without falling down a hole that is entirely contrary in nature to their supposed world view and philosophy.

It's almost like finding your way through the world is a bit more complicated than pulling your socks up

He's just a monetising weasel. That's my primary dislike of him, and I think when you offer up a load of ways for people to better themselves you reasonably open yourself to criticism of your own choices

How was it misleading?

Because posting a comment describing a person as a "fucking benzo addict whose life has fallen apart" and then either deliberately or through ignorance missing out the sad circumstance of how and why he became addicted to antidepressants and how he battled it, is both misleading and hateful.

Surely you can see this?

OneTC · 28/12/2022 17:32

Not really. It's not like benzo addiction is an inevitable component of grief is it.

Thank you for clarifying your intellectual level of debate and counter arguments.

I'll leave it there.

OneTC · 28/12/2022 17:35

Yeah gotta say your contributions to the thread thus far have been elaborately constructed well thought out and well delivered.

OneTC · 28/12/2022 17:41

With his interviews and begging sympathy about his benzo addiction he's even indirectly monetised the death of his wife. He's monetised his daughter. How's that not weasely?

FarmGirl78 · 28/12/2022 18:03

His "Being more resilient" seems to translate as "I'm going to say vile nasty things and if you disagree that's not my problem but yours for being a wimp and not having a thicker skin". Like workplace bullies who pass their nastiness off as 'banter'.

When I'm king of the world first up against the wall is people like this.

Why, in 2022, do we still have idiots like this? And, to balance out the sexes, why do we have women that like men like this?

WarriorN · 30/12/2022 07:07

I don't understand why so many get obsessed with one individual.

Interesting thread in light of his (hilarious) arrest

SinnerBoy · 30/12/2022 07:42

Well, he's in the soup now. He's been arrested in Romania, for human trafficking and six counts of rape, the slimy little turd.

I'm not surprised. When someone hates women and spends his time grooming teen boys to believe they're entitled to sex and women are the cause of men's problems, he was highly likely to have a limited understanding of consent.

Disgusting man.

GenderCriticalTrumpets · 30/12/2022 07:57

I love that his pathetic clap back to Gretha played a part in his downfall! He is an odious little toad.

TiredBefuddledRose · 30/12/2022 08:18

An alarming amount of women here keen to defend a human trafficker and rapist

ImOnTheGoodListActually · 30/12/2022 09:04

So what are your thoughts on this slimy scumbag now OP? 🤔

Actually the whole episode is fucking hilarious.

AT had a spat with Greta T, where she invited him to email her:

yes, please do enlighten me. email me at [email protected]

In response, AT produced a weird video, part of which he ordered some pizza and asked for them specifically to be non-recycled. The video shows him getting his pizzas delivered.

The police, looking for AT for the last 8 months see the video and note that they're from a local Romanian pizza company so arrest him 🤣🤣

Cue Greta T's response. What a legend 🤣🤣

SinnerBoy · 30/12/2022 10:12

Our councils says not to recycle pizza boxes, as they're soaked with fat and it ruins the whole batch of cardboard.

AT's Wikipedia update 🤣🤣

AutumnCrow · 30/12/2022 10:19

Pizza boxes need to be lined with grease proof paper to stand a chance of being recyclable, and many companies do this now.

There are many lessons in life to had about planning ahead for the best possible results and not being stupid and careless, venal and generally appalling.

glittertinsel · 30/12/2022 12:57

Absolutely hilarious that he has been brought down by Greta! Legend!!!

Miss03852 · 30/12/2022 13:13

I wouldn’t get too excused, he’s out of prison already, he’s been tweeting

Miss03852 · 30/12/2022 13:14

*too excited

Yep, brilliant riposte from Greta Thunberg there. Absolute class.

WarriorN · 31/12/2022 06:35

The pizza box link hasn't been confirmed unfortunately but he's been under investigation for a while by the looks of it.

I can't believe women here support him and his coercion of women to work for him selling their bodies online.
