It's always the ones you most expect.
“Who could have predicted this”
I hate that I even know who this disgusting asshole is.
I hate that so many teenage boys are fans of him.
Yeah, that pert is theuch bigger problem, kids actually look up to him.
My step children's real father is a big fan of Tate and keeps telling them how awesome he is and how they should follow nhik in his footsteps.
Thankfully, the kids think he's a loser who abuses women.
There are so few good male role models for teenage boys. I would have said John Cena at one point, but he's decided to shill for the CCP, so not him either. I honestly don't know who teenage boys can turn to at this point.
Maybe young men should build a role-model construct of good qualities they see rather than idolize a single patriarchal figure and seek to emulate them, including their flaws.
Speaking as someone who was fortunate to have a decent dad, and a decent step dad, who were radically different.
Plenty of kids do not have decent male role models in their life though. That's part of the problem. So they turn to the internet and find people like Tate.
Jason Momoa, Henry Cavill, Hugh Jackman, Dave Bautista, Ryan Reynolds, Guy Fieri to name a few
There are good male role models. It's just that they are much, much harder to make money off.
Which bloody sucks.
I can think of several, but it's so cringe to say any of them. There's a disdain for do-gooders in all societies, but especially American society. Which means that it's just not cool to admire someone who is simply a good person.
"controversial"
“Massive cunt”
“Influencer”
I always wondered who would be influenced by such people, I've realized it would be controversial massive cunts.
"Criminal"
It's pretty pathetic that an "alpha male" cannot pull a girl.
It's because they're alpha version. They haven't gone through beta testing, been selected as a release candidate, sent to QA and finally released. They're only alpha.
Why haven’t these two anal cysts been tried yet? JUST GET ON WITH IT AND THROW THEM IN PRISON. I know that it takes time to put together a solid case, but damn.
people forget it took 10+ years to put epstein in jail
People like me lol. Oh well.
He was arrested, tried, convicted, and then released by one of Trump's USAs only to get arrested and tried again decade later. Incidentally, Bill Gates got on a plane with Epstein in 2014, five years after his original conviction. I'm convinced the only reason Epstein eventually got put to a permanent end is that he ran out of money.
There really is no end to the amount of bullshit rich people can get away with.
they're rich lmao
Yeah not really either. Remember that these are lying assholes and a lot of the riches he was showing off was rented just to make people think they were uber rich
This dude is one ugly mother fucker. Looks like one of the peasant NPCs from Witcher 3
That doesn't sound very consensual to me
Project 2025 energy.
Conservitive hero.
Very disgusting of Tate.
I have never heard anything about him that isn't disgusting.
But he seemed like such a fine young gentleman. I am shocked.
Anybody who legitimately gets giddy-as-fuck over the thought of a Muslim woman being stoned to death for adultery should not be trusted with dating advice. Yet somehow this asshole has a social media following of millions, has indoctornated a lot of young people into misogynistic views (I know secondary school teachers who have seen pupils gobble up lots of Andrew Tate content), has eluded bans from mainstream social media (his shit is still all over YouTube), and still has a following despite facing rape and human trafficking charges and being on EUROPOL's wanted list.
Isn't this at all concerning, and a big sign that society is failing men?
List of people who are suprised that the misogynist human trafficker did this: N/A
“… but but but, he told me to workout…. He can’t be a bad guy….”
Not entirely surprising considering their openly misogynistic views.
Shame so many people use him as a role model, he's very dangerous.

World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
