ah shit. Fair, next cancel the fucker

I thought he was just a troll when I first came across him years ago. But apparently hes involved in some sex trafficking type of shit and there are videos of him physically abusing women that have made the rounds.

So yeah, all around sack of shit who should probably be in prison

wow. How were so many of us (I say us because that includes me) unaware of this asshole?

He owns a web cam business and held girls captive to work in said business

Another YouTube daddy probably

He also hates women and moved to romania or whatever cause rape laws are weaker there.

manosphere eceleb of the now

he's been around for years, but i guess he finally cracked the algorithm

He's a problem that's probably not going away anytime soon. Because people are gonna use tactics against him that people like him have been looking for loopholes around. These type of people aren't genuises, maybe their lawyers. It's just that everyone pretends they finally stick it to people like Andrew Tate, just to turn their back on the villain while he's still breathing. People like Kanye and Trump have now shown likeminded people tactics to get around the weak attempts at banning and "cancelling". You gotta just build a big enough base to put you above it. And that's what he's been working on. I have no idea how many people actually take him serious tho. But I remember when I felt that way about Trump.

he was a contestant on UK big brother or something and got kicked off the show when videos of him abusing women were found
MRAs and incels love him for that

He's just the flavor of the month for these online losers that don't have a fucking life and feel the need to look for ANYONE to say, "look, this guy is a bigger POS than I am," to make themselves feel better.

He's an Alex Jones knock off. Makes a bunch of claims that appeals to a certain demograph and then when they build a large enough audience, scam them with shit like a MLM class. Basically the equivalent to an online snake oil salesman. The worst part is that I know an individual that looks up to him the same way he looks up to Alex Jones. It gets really sad.

Like this guy is saying all the horrible things said about him is untrue -

But that HAS to be a bunch of bull shit because I saw him in a video abusing that lady and telling her it was her fault he had to hurt her.

It's funny, I remember seeing his videos like 2 years ago and his content was so ridiculous that everyone was just ripping it to shreds as a complete joke. Fast forward to the past couple of months and he's reemerged somehow as this pick up artist/incep/misogynist ringleader and I'm just wondering how? Obviously he built an audience, but since I apparently missed all that it's like the beginning of the last star wars movie where palpatine just shows up out of nowhere and he's got a fleet somehow.

Tbh the "woman beater" thing seems based on a clip of him engaging in some bdsm act with a willing participant, so I don't think it's fair to kink shame the guy (and girl) over that. Unless there's some other clip that I am unaware of.

With that said, the guy is a total shitstain so it wouldnt surprise me at all if he really does beat women up for talking back at him or whatever.

On top of what's already been said, he's also an antivaxxer + Trump supporter (didn't vote of course since he's in Romania, but he has spoken very favorably about him).

So he's pretty much got all the red flags. Racism is like the 1 thing I haven't seen from him yet.

Top G!

Came across him on Twitter about two/three years ago on Twitter when he was still a relatively internet nobody saying stuff like if youve ever watched a Star Wars movie youve never been laid. Recently hes blown up because a lot of popular YouTubers have made videos on him. At first I thought he was just being an ultimate troll but now I seriously starting to doubt that.

A shitty ex kick boxer who basically shills incel advice to incels. He has some really whacky beliefs on women and surprisingly a lot of idiots fall for it.

He's also one of those dudes that wants to debate women on how they'd be happier be subjugated.

For a lot of people, it's easier to think that the world is wrong rather than reflect inwards whenever things aren't going their way.

Could it be that I'm not appealing to women, that my thoughts are troublesome, that maybe I should work on myself?

No, surely not. It's the feminists who are to blame.

he basically peddles a male form of astrology to his followers.

Pretty much, instead of trying to fix a man's approach to women, this person is trying to subjugate women to the old days. Which his audience eats up and now he's seen as an internet martyr. It makes me sick.

He's a piece of shit, but let's not invent and spread false narratives like he was a shitty kickboxer. He was a good kickboxer that is also a shitty person, both can be true.

I think you're ignoring how long lasting this grift can be. Who was Andrew Tate before Andrew Tate that we're not still dealing with? Donald is the closest thing and that definitely lasted over a month. The insecurities of the guys and probably a few very distraught women aren't going anywhere and they found their voice. And their voice knows how social media works. And social media is the most powerful tool a grifter has.

ex athlete, hateful incel. Has a following poisoning young dudes minds. Horrible person.

Roosh V, Tucker Max... I'm not into this shit really so I can't name them all but guys like this pop up and disappear all the time. virtually to the point of it being controlled discourse.

Yeah. Actually you're making me rethink why Id even think I'd know that either lol. But I been seeing Andrew Tate for over a year now. That's what makes me think he's not the flavor of the month. That month would of been over a year ago. This exposure seems way more than usual to me.

lol it's just an expression

oh wow, and someone really defend this guy?
glad that he's gone (for now).

I know. But once you surpass a year, I don't think the expression works any longer >_>. Feels inaccurate even after you consider the stretching. I just want people to actually do something this time and not just get hollow victories while another Trump like figure emerges lol

Do you remember all the small victories against Trump before 2016. Or do you remember him becoming President? That's all Im saying.

I prefer us not being stupid enough to shrug off a man trying to build a fanbase as Trump did.

Do I remember a bunch of different small moments compared to the one big moment it was leading up to? I remember both but I remember the former as one on going event. So I remember both of them, I guess?

I don't see what memory has to do with something that is actively happening. We're literally seeing his small moments as we speak, knowing about him for the first time is essentially the big moment. To keep with your analogy.

He isn't the only person to do this kind of thing and his MO is comparable to an entirely different discourse than what Trump is involved in.

I guess we'll just see in time. Id love to look back at this as me overreacting.

I wouldn't imply you're overreacting. This manosphere shit is extremely bad for society.
