Scroll the internet, and you will likely come across something about Andrew Tate. He is in the news again after being named directly in Netflix라이브 바카라 hit series Adolescence. The show, which opens with the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie (played by Owen Cooper) for stabbing his classmate to death, follows the adults in his life as they try to understand why he did it. The search leads them to confront the origins of a teenage boy라이브 바카라 conflicted feelings about women. Over four episodes, Adolescence explores themes of gender, misogyny, violence and extremism and how the “manosphere” can influence the behaviour of young men.

In the second episode, while investigating Jamie라이브 바카라 motive, a police officer hears from a female colleague: "It's the involuntary celibate stuff. It's the Andrew Tate shite." The show's writer, Jack Thorne, has been clear about the show's inspiration, saying in a radio interview that Jamie had been "indoctrinated by voices" like Tate, as well as "voices a lot more dangerous than Andrew Tate's."

To his millions of young followers, Tate — who calls himself “Top G” (G for gangster) — is the image of success: a man with wealth, luxury cars, and women. But to many others, he is a dangerous influencer who could incite boys and men to commit violence against women.

A British-American former kickboxer, Tate built his brand alongside his brother through loud, flashy content about male power, female submission and getting rich. Rights advocates have warned against their rising tide of influence among young boys and men. In the manosphere — an online world built around anti-feminist ideas and “red pill” theories — Tate has become a poster boy.

Tate, who describes himself as a "self-made multi-millionaire", has said that he earned money through "a little webcam business from my apartment". He first gained mainstream media attention after appearing on Big Brother in the UK in 2016. He was expelled from the show after a video emerged of him hitting a woman with a belt. Tate said at the time the video had been edited, tweeting, “They are pretending I beat her up when we were joking and the belt made noise but didn’t hurt!”

In 2022, the Tate brothers were arrested along with two Romanian women on charges of human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women and, in Andrew라이브 바카라 case, rape. Both brothers denied all allegations. They also face a separate sexual offence case in the UK, which they have denied as well. So far, neither Andrew nor Tristan Tate has been convicted of any offence. But a presumption of the Tates’ innocence does not explain their widespread fan following.

As economic instability grows, with precarious employment, rising living costs, and widening inequality, many young men feel adrift. Instead of addressing these root causes or challenging the political systems that support them, Andrew Tate redirects frustration toward feminism and gender equality. He positions women라이브 바카라 rights as the source of men라이브 바카라 struggles.

Among his widely criticised opinions, Tate has suggested rape victims "bear some responsibility" for being attacked, said women "belong in the home", and referred to women as "property" of men. Describing how he would react if a woman accused him of cheating, he said, "It's bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck."

He has accumulated millions of followers and likes by posting images of an extravagant lifestyle where he poses shirtless, cigar in hand, next to luxury cars and private jets. He tells his followers they could attain what he has if they enrol in his online Hustlers University, learn his business strategies and work hard. The version of “masculinity” he promotes is one where women are a man라이브 바카라 possession.

In August 2022, Tate was banned from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. But when Elon Musk took over X, then known as Twitter, in 2022, he reinstated his account. Despite the bans, he has gained a massive online following from video clips shared by fans that attract millions of views and shares. Tate is just one of many figures who combine self-improvement advice with casual and sometimes violent misogyny. He says his views are deliberately misconstrued, misinterpreted, or taken out of context, but critics point out that such defences have long been used to downplay harmful behaviour and silence opposition.
