Andrew Tate - who the heck is this loonatic?

I had heard of him before and knew that he was a famous misogynist, but I watched an interview with him. My gosh he is a madman.

He thinks that the female orgasm is a liberal lie.

He believes that men who have sex with women for pleasure rather solely to procreate, are gay.

He says that all women are simply sex workers, apart from ugly women, because they have to get jobs.

He believes that all the problems in the world are a result of women having the vote.

He says that men who play with their children are gay.

What can have gone so badly wrong in this man’s life that his mind is so warped and twisted?

Greta Thunberg's take down of him (which led to him doxxing himself and getting arrested 😂) was a thing of beauty.

Anyway, more concerning than any of your points is that Tate is a rapist. He hasn’t been convicted but I believe the women whose accounts I’ve heard and who have text messages from him acknowledging what he did. He’s a disgusting individual. He needs to be jailed or worse but that would martyr him for all his ‘fans’.

He is also shockingly ugly.

I can certainly believe that he is a criminal. A violent rapist. He should be jailed.

My comment may get deleted because he hasn’t been convicted of anything. They had some of his victims talking on Woman’s Hour and I full believe every word they said.

Please explain what happened or post a link. Thanks!

It was the way that her response to all of this was "this is what happens when you don't recycle your pizza boxes" 😂

Tofana · 29/06/2025 19:08

His hatred for women is so intense, it’s uncomfortable to watch him talk.

I did see something where he was saying how a woman wouldn’t ever beat him. You silly sausage Andrew, you just haven’t given the right woman the opportunity.

Thanks for that great summary. I’ve never been able to bring myself to look into him.

How does someone become like this?
Does he make a living from being a professional misogynist & homophobe?

Yes, he makes a living from it. And this thread has just put yet more money into his pocket as the OP has just increased his exposure. That's how conspiracy theory or controversial types work. Think Katie Price... makes herself look more ridiculous, everyone clicks on her social media... kerching! Katie Hopkins/Piers Morgan/David Ike etc... all say something controversial... people click on their media... kerching!!!

He needs banning from all forms of media but whilst ever posters on this and other SM sites are posting about him, not only are the likes of Tate making money, but so are the social media sites. Kerching!!!!

Please don't click on his media, you are literally lining his pockets.

Needhelp101 · 29/06/2025 19:25

@HoskinsChoice I agree with you but I've never once clicked on his content. I know him from satire sites that mercilessly rip the piss out of him.

I get what you’re saying, but whether we like it or not a generation of school kids are watching him and parents need to be aware of exactly what he is doing so they can talk about it with them.

So many adults seem to have only the vaguest idea of who he is and no idea exactly how dangerous what he’s saying actually is. Threads like this spread awareness, and I’m pretty sure no-one on it is rushing off to follow his socials.

BringYourOwnBullshit · 29/06/2025 19:41

He is absolutely vile

Yeah I agree.

I didn’t really know, but I’ll be much more aware now.

I can see how angry young men could become radicalised.

I suspect that a lot of the absolute bollocks that he spouts is solely for generating clicks and headlines. At the end of the day, everything he does is about making money. I hope he gets locked up for a long time for his exploitation and abuse of women.

NotDarkGothicMama · 29/06/2025 17:56

He is remarkably camp and has a very small penis, much as his supporters try to dispute the evidence of our eyes.

It’s no wonder he thinks that female orgasm is a lie. He’s obviously never given a woman one with that little fella!

Blarn · 29/06/2025 20:11

I love that he is nearly always referred to as, 'Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan'. Like they are some sort of sad double act who can only exist together. With their tiny penises, failing to give women orgasms.

TheGrimSmile · 29/06/2025 21:10

I also think he's gay. His hatred for women is very disturbing.

AquaCat93 · 29/06/2025 21:18

I physically can't listen to him, he makes me ears bleed.

He's incapable of talking at a normal sound- it's like he's shouting when he talks.

I also think we have this weird fascination with giving air time to people that have controversial views. Why? I read somewhere that humans naturally focus on negative things? Is this why?

YourChirpyFatball · 29/06/2025 21:27

@AquaCat93 Shouting and spitting at the same time. 🤮

Notouchingmybhuna · 29/06/2025 21:42

It’s shocking how many parents of young teens aren’t aware that this is the sort of thing their sons are being exposed to via unmonitored social media.

OnTheBoardwalk · 29/06/2025 21:44

@Alltheyellowbirds thanks for this. I did want to understand but didn’t want to google

pinkstripeycat · 29/06/2025 21:49

He doesn’t really think or believe any of what he says. He just loves winding people up. My young adult sons think he’s pathetic, weird and attention seeking. He’s spoken about as someone to laugh at as he’s so silly.

DS19 said today “That Andrew Tate kid, we don’t hear much from him these days. He’s old news.”

And he's laughing all the way to the bank while the impressionable and vulnerable live by his ridiculous mantras and spread rank misogyny in schools and homes with awful real world consequences.

His supporters are doubling down because it's all a conspiracy to suppress the "truth" according to him. It's Tommy Robinson tactics.

Honestly I'm surprised Trump didn't give him a job.

I really do hope his influence is waning.

I've never heard his voice as I wouldn't go anywhere near his stuff. You've clearly given him airtime (and therefore probably money) if you've listened to him. Why did you do it?

If you’ve got teen children, you need to know what he’s saying so you can have conversations with them about it. It’s irresponsible to stick your head in the sand.

But that's actually incredibly worrying. The guy is a misogynist, a rapist and an abuser. What's funny about that? Also, whilst ever he's watching his stuff for a laugh, he is still lining a misogynistic, abusive rapist's pockets. I'd be having VERY serious words with any child of mine if he said that.
