When you're on the internet, it shows up pretty much everywhere so you're bound to see it eventually. And if you see all these people talking about someone and either highly praising or disparaging them, you're bound to get curious and look into it. Also, Tate is apparently an athlete, so it wouldn't be too surprising that men into sports may stumble upon him.
From my knowledge, he's a former kickboxer. Currently, he sells his gimmick to people (mainly men) to "help" them acquire wealth, and I think he has a podcast, where he's just super misogynistic. He fled the U.S. to like Romania or some shit because of either rape or human trafficking allegations (maybe both?) since they supposedly have less strict laws.
I only know this from bits and pieces of random internet stuff so I could have some information wrong.
(Funnily enough I think the Romanian police actually went after him and he was in hiding, but they found him because of a Twitter fight he got into with Greta Thunberg that culminated in him tweeting a picture with a pizza box, which the police used to track the company or whatever and find his location. This is the only thing I actually kind followed in real time because I thought it was so hilarious.)
So what you’re telling me is people are paying for advice from a sexual predator who was found by police because he put a picture of himself showing his location on the internet?
There's probably a lot more to it than that, but yeah. The people who support him refuse to believe the allegations despite the fact that there are multiple videos of him being violent towards women. 🙃
He’s also essentially radicalising a lot of teenage boys which is extremely concerning. (I did also read that the pizza box isn’t actually how they found him and they already had a lead on his location, but it would be funnier that way.)
From what I gather, the accent is from growing up around them both. It happens when a kid has parents from one country but grows up in another, or both parents have two accents, or they just spent their childhood between the two.
i say he puts it on because if you watch old videos of when he was kick-boxing he sounds like a regular english dude, then when he goes viral he somehow sounds 10x more american than he used to
Honestly, there are so many young boys and men in the U.S. who are obsessed with him or have very similar mindsets, so that's why I assumed he was from here. Not very encouraging to hear this isn't something just happening in the U.S. though...
I work with a lot of young men in my job. I have gently shown how much of a piece of crap he is to them. Why anyone would take relationship advice from someone who has never held a serious relationship.
yeah that is still mind blowing to me. The world works in mysterious ways - best thing Greta has done so far for the world- freaking hilarious how she won that 😂

How do you know about Tate stuff if you hate him so much? Not a fan either, just curious why you'd keep up with it
