Why do we still give this guy a platform and attention?

He loves to polarize and to rile the public up. Worst thing for him would be, if the whole world ignores him and just doesn't take notice anymore.

If nobody shared his tweets anymore.

You're not getting insults because you're brown. You're getting insults because you're Andy taytay

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago
[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

How dare you besmirch the name of TayTay like this

Reported to the Swiftie Boats

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Because, and I'm sure she'll love this, it makes him really really angry

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 77 points 3 months ago

Being Andrew Tate is “not a good look”.

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee 77 points 3 months ago

You can't be racist to Andrew Tate because he's not a human.

[-] cAUzapNEAGLb@lemmy.world 64 points 3 months ago

Don't dehumanize him. He's a human just like you and me, and we must stay vigilant to our friends and our selves to not become like Andrew Tate or any other people who have terrible unchecked thoughts and actions.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Somehow I agree with you both

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 3 months ago

"Yes, the high road is obviously better, however"

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

I'm well aware of my actions. Just like it is. Have you seen the video of it smacking a woman with a belt because she upset it? I'm not joking. The video exists. This is not consensual

I do not doubt or counter the terrible things he has done and continues to do.

He is a despicable person.

He got out on bail then immediately fled the country (Romania I think)

[-] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

Nope. Court cases are continuing, he's still in Romania. As soon as the court cases conclude, he'll be extradited to the UK.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Keep tweeting baby Tate. The most normal thing to do when on the run.

Isn’t that what got him caught in the first place? Oh nvm, at least not how I remembered it, the pizza box rumor wasn’t true.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Remember how we always make fun of the revolving doors in superhero comics' prisons?

[-] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago
[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

This tbh. Fuck Andrew Tate, but I'm not on board with being racist at him. Black people see that your acceptance of their race is conditional on you liking them.

[-] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Exactly, criticise literally anything else about him, or preferably basically everything. Except his skin colour or anything else he was born with.

If I'd stayed in the UK I could easily have been a victim of this same shit, despite being born there and 50% British.

Wish I could upvote this more than once

[-] tabris@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

The people being racist to him are the same terrorists currently rioting across the UK because of things he himself said, stoked by Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson, as well as the right wing media. Tate helped create a tinderbox of anti-immigration hatred that has sparked multiple days of riots, terrorising families, businesses, and the police, and when a tiny amount of the hatred he stoked gets redirected back at him, suddenly he whines.

Yes, racism bad, but this call is coming from inside the house that he helped to build.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Imagine being this poor bastard and having your face be instant shorthand for "the worst person you know". The internet is cruel.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 3 months ago

I thought he was the guy absolutely devastated that the worst person they knew made a good point!

[-] Yambu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Says the human trafficker who happens to sling slurs on social media. Yawn.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

Sorry dude, "asshole" isn't a race.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

It must be terrible for Andrew Tate to deal with people who have been trained to be awful to others.

[-] Moops@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

What a weird little man.

[-] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 months ago

Leopards and faces and all that

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

Skip the racism, just stub his toes or something. He'll cry loudly just as well.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

How's that petard treating you there, Tater?

[-] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Insulting somebody because of their race is never OK. There of plenty of other things to insult this piece of shit for instead of race.

[-] nolannice@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

The UK has had several white supremacist riots in the last week. I believe it has been in response to an stabbing attack at a children's dance studio committed by a UK born son of immigrants.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not only that, but the identity and religion of the stabber was made up and spread as a lie on social media specifically to rile people up against immigrants

Edit to add article https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/southport-attack-riots-far-right-social-media-b2588628.html

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Wait, Andrew Tate is walking around free?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

that is news to me if so. Is there a bounty available?

Oh so these people (who I would have assumed loved andrew tate) are so radicalised they hate him cuz he’s brown lol?
