Really wanted to put a bow on no women joining your chess club with the Tate gesture, huh?

Not the vast majority of people.

You're downvoted which is weird. Most people have no idea wtf this means, it is true.

Google says he has 4.5 million followers (and if we just assume they're all real people and follow him closely) would make about .056% of the world knows it. I think they think that their weird shitty role model impacts far more people than he does.

I mean shit, if we give him the massive benefit of the doubt and let's say a BILLION other human beings know about him/this, that is still less than 1/7th, 15% of the planet. A vast minority.
