Andrew Tate - who the heck is this loonatic?

Summerevenimgchill · 29/06/2025 17:41

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?

His view doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Does he only know women who are maybe not that academic Onlyfans types? Has he not met any of the other 99.999% women who are doing all sorts of jobs that keep the world turning?

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.

I know plenty about him through media reports. I don't need to line his pockets to know how vile he is. That's a terrible excuse, you are part of the problem if you have clicked on the bile he produces.

BringYourOwnBullshit · 29/06/2025 22:12

He needs to commit to one accent!

TheaBrandt1 · 29/06/2025 22:14

It must be a very sad place in his head. He seems to see everything in an extremely limited black and white way. Odd that he is so popular.

Never seen/heard him speak. I can see why people do though, so they’re adequately informed.

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?

I just googled him to see what is was about. I then tried to watch a couple of interviews- one was the Piers Morgan one I think and the other may have been Diary of a CEO, can't remember. I'm just explaining what my reaction was to him and expressing how unpleasant it was watching him. I suppose the point being - this is the kind of unpleasantness that young people's ears are being exposed to, I think it would have a big impact on an impressionable developing brain.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 29/06/2025 22:24

Thing is, if you don't see or hear it directly, even once, you lay yourself open to the accusation that third parties have misinformed you. Bit like the JK Rowling situation. If you can say to a bolshy teen boy that actually yes, you've listened to two minutes of his bile, and you disagree with it directly, because two minutes of his whining is all it takes believe me, you have a small chance of a slightly more constructive conversation. It's like trying to undo brainwashing mind....

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

Its still one of my favorite things I've watched 😍his complete arrogance of the whole thing was amazing, I share it whenever I can

edit terrible spelling in excitement

Weirdly he also looks and acts gayer than Christopher Biggins at a Steps concert

😂🤣😂

Ohtobemycat · 29/06/2025 23:05

I watched a lot of his content as a sort of know thine enemy project.
I have a deduced a lot from it. I cant even explain, it would take too many pages.
Essentially, his main objective is to say stuff that gets people riled up or want to defend him and click on his content, watch his videos and make him more money.
He spouts mostly, either general life advixe thats obvious to anyonr not an idiot such as, be kind to your mum, hes obsessed with that
Or totally out there mysogyny that conflixts with his other nessages that he loves women.
Or just batshit stuff.
Just conclude the man will say anything for clicks and cash.
And he really doesnt care who he offends..

Nigel Farage has admitted he spread misinformation by the likes of Andrew Tate in the wake of the killing of three young girls in Southport.

I hate quoting posters , pages later but this made me laugh so much 🤣.
I do miss the laugh response button.

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?

I 💯 percent agree and I have the exact same reaction to Tommy Robinson - disagree with him and he's shouting red faced, that scares the absolute shit out of me .
You absolutely cannot debate with these mofos, it's like trying to talk down an angry x bully.

Tagyoureit · 30/06/2025 00:09

Whenever I see this twat, the only word that springs to mind is dweeb. Its literally like his face is in the dictionary as dweeb! His face was literally created for that word! Its uncanny!!

I cant understand how he thinks he's so masculine, manly, alpha or whatever else because he just so isn't!

But I do understand the power of making a lot of noise, which he has, unfortunately, been allowed to do with so many sm platforms. That's the problem!

My ds is 11, and I have spoken to him about this twat. Ive explained that AT is a massive, misguided twat and if DS were to come across any of his stuff that he not watch and speak to me.

Thankfully I have full access to everything DS has access to because it's all on my email address that he uses to log in with.

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.

And has no chin.

user764329056 · 30/06/2025 01:24

He’s a sad excuse for a man

SpookyMcTaggart · 30/06/2025 02:31

He's an incel. Physically, he's spectacularly unattractive - a weak receding chin (which he tries to conceal with a beard), long face, prematurely bald, slack mouth, mad eyes. It's hard to imagine him attracting any woman, so I suppose he has to rely on money to do it, and the resentment and aggression toward women would just follow from that.

You know he's only there for clicks and cash... so you clicked and gave him cash?!

Lol, well I didnt know, I did a mini project for myself to find out about him as I have sons, a bit too young to watch him but I was concerned. I watched a ton of his stuff over a couple of weeks and that was it.

Justwrong68 · 30/06/2025 08:45

I think we know why he’s insecure. But MN won’t let me post the famous picture of him in his pants.

I believe that Andrew Tate and his ilk should be viewed as terrorists. They radicalise boys and young men and deliberately stir up hatred of and encourage violence against women. When we write them off as random nutters on the internet with no power or influence we significantly underestimate the baleful toxic effect they are having on an entire generation of young men and their attitudes towards women. Tate and his ilk are very frightening and I wish governments were better at recognising that this sort of misogynistic incitement is as much a pernicious form of terrorism as the other more well known sources.

dottiedodah · 30/06/2025 09:09

I make a point of not going on his site ,or Bonnie Blue or anyone else like this .They are just wanting clicks to add to their "fame" .He is a disgusting misogynist .Most young men I know also think the same as me .They are polite and caring young men who are respectful of women

Coffeeishot · 30/06/2025 09:18

I only saw him on the news him and his brother were arrested, I had no real idea who he was until I read a bit about him,

I think if you have teenagers/ young adults especially boys in your life you really need to keep up to date with what he is saying.

Catladywithoutacat · 30/06/2025 09:18

He’s an ugly, goofy teeth creep can’t stand him
