Inside the violent, misogynistic world of TikTok’s new star, Andrew Tate
GuardianAPR 2022
Andrew Tate has been vilified and abused by an establishment that has taken his words out of context to shut down his dissenting message. Not only has Tate been censored, but he and his brother have also been charged and locked up before a trial could even take place. Regardless of the controversy surrounding his speech, Tate has the right to presumed innocence until proven guilty.
Tate and his brother — who built a social media empire off of selling misogyny to impressionable young men — exemplify the adage that you ought to believe someone when they show you who they are. The pair have been transparent from the start through their long list of abhorrent words, which no longer appear to be just bluster. They must now be held accountable for their actions.
