I've been a bit too enthusiastic since coming back to CE, but realtalk: the people defending him in those topics know he's a piece of shit, and they keep doing it for the lols because watching people bend over backwards to repeatedly assert that Andrew Tate is a bad person is fun for them.
Look at tsup going above and beyond to co-opt body positivity messaging regarding "small dick energy" to paint Greta Thunberg as an aggressor who deserved Tate's trolling, coupled with his later messages in support of Tate. Look at how far that Phoenix guy or whatever went to go "not only is it pathetic that people think this is gonna stick, it's downright horrible that anyone would be rooting for this arrest over inflated claims" through wall of text after wall of text. I know that's rich coming from me considering how long my posts get, but I think you can tell the difference between genuine passion for a subject and empty, grasping platitudes to continue your dick-riding gimmick.
The longer you treat these users with the legitimacy they need to continue their trolling efforts, the longer you'll have to put up with them. All of the Andrew Tate shit has been around for months, and at this point they're either legitimate defenders or they're annoying opportunists taking advantage of controversy to fuck with people. Seriously, if you feel so strongly about some nobodies acting like nobodies, stop taking them seriously and giving them what they want.
The funniest thing I saw was people claiming that small dick energy was on par with the n word.
I enjoyed seeing the stupid things they said to defend the guy.
