Andrew Tate - Trigger Warning - DV and SA

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 08-20-2022, 06:56 PM

Some may have heard of this human piece of excrement. I am creating a thread about him so others can be aware of the damage he is doing to young boys and women in general. He's been banned from Twitter, YouTube and Instagram due to the videos and audio of him being violent towards his ex girlfriends and now there are women and girls coming forward to speak of their harrowing, horrific abuse, including SA and RP.

I am very concerned that it's taken other male influencers speaking up about him in order for him to get banned. What do you think is the next best form of action regarding him? I wish other creators would stop giving him a platform to spread his vitriol.

Yeah all you can do is just hope social media deplatforms him. There's not even any substance there to debate. He's just sort of human waste with a megaphone. Here's hoping he fades into irrelevance like Milo Yiannopoulos.

I don't know that much about him and he seems like a scam artist but I think banning him is par for the course for the kind of bitch made society we are apparently trying to construct. I can only hope this attempt to course correct backfires and makes him even more alluring to vulnerable young men.

I don't think Alex Jones got banned/deplatformed for selling Caveman though.

I think the explanation is probably simpler. They're not getting laid.

a lot of these dudes are also just ****ing mental, but to the degree that there's an overall trend, I think it's a result of shrinking opportunity

Fair point. I think social media plays a role as well when it comes to dating, in ways that are negative for everyone.

Shrinking something, anyway.

see: Alex Jones

banning Alex Jones was also a bad move. I'm fine with financially punishing him for the Sandy Hook **** as retribution to the families but why should I be deprived of watching his content on YouTube? It's all this patronizing attitude that the fragile public must be protected from themselves and that we can't be trusted to decide for ourselves whether or not to follow some Nazi or some PUA type like Tate. I think it should all be allowed for contents sake.

Now as for Tate being a scam artist, he was probably not even banned for that but just for being a viral misogynist. I don't think it was made clear why. He was classified as a dangerous person or something nebulous like that. And I think if his MLM scheme is legal then you can't do **** about that and if people fall for it they deserve the poverty that awaits them.

hippy free speech marketplace of idea **** is naive

what sense does it make to argue with fascists, they'll say literally anything, they don't care

All you are going to do is keep playing wack a mole with these people. It's not about the individual. A person like Tate exists because of the niche he found and exploited. He wasn't the first and won't be the last, and banning someone like let's say Alex Jones has done absolutely zero to get people to stop believing in the kinds of conspiracy theories he pushes. So I do think you're quite overstating how effective this method is at actually battling harmful ideas. Not to say arguing with them is necessarily going to yield better results, but at least it would yield better content.

Banning scammers is for bitches. Gotcha.
