To think Andrew Tate and his 'copycat' accounts should all be removed from Facebook?

So I was on a FB thread about news topics and Tate's name was mentioned.
Surprise surprise a 'Andrew Tate' appears in the comments and starts spouting Tate's normal crappy taglines and sayings!
Guy's grasp of English language was lacking and not even as good as the 'real' Rate on FB (not that's saying much!) and saying he'll be vindicated when charges are dropped etc.

Had enough so left that thread and out of curiosity checked for the actual 'real' Tate's profile.
Under individuals and businesses found about 34 before stopped counting ... 🙄
Honestly WTAF! So not only has mister misogynistic creep got his own pages to spew forth bile from, but others are copying them to use on fake copycat accounts to spread his words further???
Then they comment on each others messages as well! This is parody beyond ridicule.
Surely the Facebook people should remove these self congratulating profiles; restrict or temporary shut down the 'real' (or whoever is running his social media) Tate's pages and/or stop him commenting on his charges etc?
Hope he's convicted and sentenced to a good long stretch as to so become irrelevant.
But doubt that won't stop his clone following or his cult of little minions... 🙄

So do you think FB should just block all new accounts labeled Andrew Tate & remove all those shown to be fakes?

I think the BBC and other media outlets should stop giving him interview time too! It's outrageous that he should be given oxygen let alone air time.

Yes the BBC interview wasn't good.
Him trying to talk over her made my blood boil, but she wasn't brilliant either.

I hate to tell you this @LoopyLoo1991 , but now that you've used the "T" name, they'll start to commrnt on your thread soon.

Its like that film, sayi "Candyman" 5 times in a mirror, he turns up.
Say "Tate" on a MN thread, and a bunch of misogynistic will turn up.

YANBU but the trouble is, people do this with all sorts of public figures and social media, news site comments, Youtube etc have one hell of a time trying to shut them all down, that's why so many places (like Instagram and Twitter) have that blue tick to tell you if someone is the real person or not because there is an absolute deluge of idiots pretending to be other people.

The AT ones are presumably a bunch of incels with nothing better to do than follow any mention of AT and aggressively comment online because they are either 14 or too lacking in social skills to get a girlfriend and have a happy life. Like TRAs. I've long suspected there's an overlap as both groups are so misogynistic.

Oh I don't doubt it.
Let them show themselves for the fools they are.

I do also think it's a shame that his hate crimes against women aren't treated as a form of terrorism given that a lot of his MO seems to be to indoctrinate impressionable young people and terrorise women, because then he could be shut down accordingly.

Naunet · 29/06/2023 09:33

The biggest shock to me is how many men look to him like a hero. He comes across like a cringy, thick, lying twat to me, the sort of person who would have got bullied at school for lying all the time. I just don’t get it.

JazbayGrapes · 29/06/2023 09:33

I get the sentiment, but we should really be careful with freedom of speech. "hate speech" is now a stick to flog women with.

That's true.
His bile goes way beyond any freedom of speech.

IF he had a specific reason to be down on individual women, then that's his prerogative to vent at them 'for the wrongs' they have done.
But no. He labels all of us as incompetent and needing to be subservient etc 🤬

If he'd been a fictional character, everyone would brand him as too far fetched...

I think there are worse indivuals on the internet .. why dont you dislike the video so eventually YT stops showing you his videos?

bumblebee2235 · 29/06/2023 09:48

I generally quote their tates words to them. Although he is weird to women... he also thinks half his own fans are losers 😂 fat? Your lazy? Poor not working hard enough and don't deserve a woman to cheat on ect. I find the right quote and give it back... I highly doubt half of his army are high earners, with a 6 pack, a sports car and a trophy wife, which is what is expected to be in the position to be worthy of his fandom 😂

Well that’s a fucking low bar

IsThereAnEchoInHere · 29/06/2023 13:12

Have tou not been online much, like make heavy sites.
Andrew Tate is a piss ant, but all he has done is collected what men talk about, got a podcast - clearly realizing that there is a huge future fanbase there.

Again, his a douche, but many boys and men think like this. He just chose to make money out of it.

Listen to then men around you, actually listen, you’ll start to see it yourself.

Oh dear.
Looks like one of Andrewmort's 'Crapeaters' has shown up with his terribly poor grasp on the English language 😁

Perhaps spend more time in school dear?

I do not doubt there might be worse individuals on the Net, but Dark Lord Tate is extremely prominent and far too vocal.

I suspect you and your master face tough times ahead.

What are you on about?
What made you think I support the man, if that’s what you took from it?
I’d say it’s you who should learn to comprehend things.

Seriously, I have no idea how you misunderstood so badly! 🥹
Bless!

LoopyLoo1991 · 29/06/2023 14:08

It was the bad English that set me off.
Re-read your post.
So okay sorry.
Some of the things you said matched what the StatEs supporters said to me elsewhere. Got cross and posted a bit too quick on my lunch break 😑

And yes even his minions disparage him to pull people into pointless debates.
