    Friend of mine started talking in defense of this guy, and although my wife is best friends with his girlfriend, I cancelled his ass quicker than Netflix coming down on my account sharing. Fuck him and fuck his following.

      Did you explain why he was wrong first or did you just walk away accomplishing nothing?

        If you’re a Tate fan, you know what’s wrong with him, it just doesn’t bother you. At best you can be socially pressured into dropping him but deep down you think a sex trafficking and rape is just guys being dudes.

          I don’t know if I believe that. I mean yes, Andrew Tate is a piece of shit. Full stop, that is fact in my eyes.

          The people who follow him could just be stupid, though. Sure there are certainly fucking pyschos that think sex trafficking and whatever else degenerate shit Tate gets into are fine, but all of his followers?

          Don’t attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity.

            You can be stupid and a piece of shit, which does actually encompass all tate dickriders and “fans”

        Imagine having such brain damage that you think that taking offense that someone is defending a rape apologist is somehow something worth derision.

          Throwing a hissy fit (rage even) just because the guy supports some random guy is a feminist trait, yea. Normal guys just say ‘come on, that dude is a douche’ and leave it at that.

            Hissy fit/rage? They just said they don’t talk to the guy anymore, how can you assume so much when you barely know any details?

            In addition, if someone defends Andrew Tate after knowing what he did and what he preaches, I don’t think think it is someone worthwhile having around.
