Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?
Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?
I keep seeing posts mentioning this phenomenon more and more often.
For instance:
'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher
Like, why? Why now? Why even? I really wish I had a time machine where I could go to the future and ask them what the general reasons were for this social development. But I feel like I'm looking for the specific thorn on a cactus that popped my balloon.
You're viewing a single thread.
The Innuendo Studios series' on YouTube Alt-Right Playbook and Why Are You So Angry especially illustrate this well and I highly recommend watching. It's very similar to what happened during gamergate. A lot of men who are frustrated are misled by these reactionary campaigns. Just like everyone else, they face the struggles of patriarchy, toxic masculinity, capitalism, etc. But Andrew Tate tells them it's not their fault, and reassures their insecurities that they're good guys, and tells them that the problem is women.
While simultaneously saying casual sex with women means you're a gay dude.
Edit: love how there are Tate fanboys on Lemmy! Lol, y'all are so pathetic it's funny. YourBoosMeanNothing.gif
