The self-described "misogynist" gained notoriety after being kicked off the British version of Big Brother in 2016 when a video surfaced that purported to show him assaulting a lady.


At the time, he claimed that the video had been altered and was an attempt to harm his reputation. The 36-year-old former kickboxer now has a global profile and more than 3.5 million Twitter followers.

Emory Andrew Tate, Tate's full name, was born in December 1986, and according to his website, he is from Chicago, Illinois.


Before going to America, where Tate was raised, his mother and father, who had met in the UK, got a divorce. Tate and his mother relocated to Luton, England, after the divorce. Tate and Tristan, his younger brother, claimed to have lived in poverty in England. In interviews, they described going to KFC to freeze leftover chicken from other people's meals. Tate was a four-time kickboxing world champion, but he rose to prominence online.


Videos on TikTok using the hashtag #AndrewTate have received over 12.7 billion views. Videos made by those criticising the influencer are also included in that number.


Andrew Tate's Remarks Towards Women?


He claimed he was in a YouTuber interview with another "I'm a realist, and when you're a realist, you're sexist, he continued, calling her "definitely a misogynist." You cannot be grounded in reality and not be sexist." He added there was "no such thing as an autonomous female" and labelled women as "intrinsically lazy" in the same video.


He has been banned from several social media sites, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and TikTok, which declared that "misogyny is a vile ideology that is not permitted." Tate's comments that women should "carry responsibility" for being sexually attacked led to his Twitter ban. But then he was given a chance.


The “Toxic Masculinity King”


According to films shared online, he dates women in their 18s and 19s so that he may "make an impression" on them and believes that rape victims must "carry responsibility" for their assaults. In previous films, the British-American kickboxer brags about assaulting and choking women, ruining their things, and stopping them from leaving the house while posing with fast cars, weapons, and cigars.


"Grab her by the neck and slam the machete and boom in her ears. In one video, he simulates how he would react if a woman accused him of cheating by yelling," Be quiet, b*tch. In another, he describes throwing a woman's possessions out the window. In a third, he refers to an ex-girlfriend who accused him of beating her as a "stupid h*e" even though he disputes the charge.


The Fame 


The 35-year-old is not an oddball lurking in a mysterious corner of the dark web. Instead, he becomes one of the most well-known superstars there because of his TikTok movies, which have been viewed by 11.6 billion people.


In a matter of months, Tate went from relative obscurity to becoming one of the most well-known people in the world. He is a well-known self-help guru who counsels his mainly male audience on how to make money, win women's hearts, and "leave the matrix." In July, his name was Googled more often than Donald Trump's or Kim Kardashian's.



His quick rise to fame wasn't an accident. The Observer claims that Tate's fans have been told to upload a tonne of footage of him to social media, making sure on choose the ones that will garner the most attention and discussion.


Experts have labelled the coordinated effort as a "blatant attempt to manipulate the algorithm" and artificially enhance Tate's content on TikTok. It involved hundreds of students from his private online academy Hustler's University. With 127,000 members paying the £39 monthly fee to join Hustler's University community, many of them men and boys from all around the world, the tactic has potentially garnered him millions of dollars in less than three months.


The Effect Of His Videos


Tate's supporters won't be at all surprised by the outcomes. Because a significant chunk of his life is not only public but has also been extensively covered in podcasts, his supporters argue that his open-mindedness is a cure for the so-called cancel culture. His development raises concerns about future extremism and internet misogyny, according to his detractors. He was dubbed "the scariest man on the internet" by a woman online. Another person who asked a query on a forum reported that her boyfriend's "attitude and ideas" had "dramatically" changed after watching videos of Tate.


Many of the Tate videos, according to Andrea Simon, director of the End Violence Against Women coalition, appeared to "clearly violate" TikTok's terms of service. Andrea Simon claimed that by doing nothing, the platform is "facilitating and ultimately profiting from the potential radicalisation of its young people."


The Bottom Line


Andrew Tate is hated by many and for correct reasons. He is spreading toxic masculinity and is spoiling many young guys’ minds. He is getting fame because of all this so he won’t stop posting such videos. Everyone is allowed to express themselves but no one is allowed to be disrespectful towards a particular gender. Many say that he is misunderstood. Well, he is not! From justifying cheating on your woman to holding women responsible for rapes. He has crossed all lines by passing derogatory remarks about women. However, it is our responsibility to be away from such content and not support such people.
