Andrew Tate

The influencer Andrew Tate's TikTok account was banned on Friday, but many fan pages sharing his content are still online as of Monday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the most popular Tate clips on the platform have been uploaded by fan channels like "tateprof" (86,000 followers) and "atate_clips_" (106,000 followers), both of which as of Monday afternoon remain on the platform after Tate's ban. "That's why we are still calling for the removal of all Andrew Tate content." Alexander Reid Ross, a Portland State University instructor who has researched far-right groups, previously told Insider that Tate's rapid rise may have inspired other fringe figures who want to get in on the "Tate phenomenon" and grow their audiences. A number of organizations, including women's rights and anti-extremism groups, had in recent weeks called on TikTok to take action against Tate's content. A search for "andrewtate" on TikTok brought up at least 20 fan accounts with over 10,000 followers each dedicated to spreading Tate videos. But the ban didn't address the primary source of Tate-related content on the platform — the network of popular Tate fanpages spreading his clips and garnering millions of views that helped catapult him into ubiquity this year.

Former kickboxer, reality TV star and “orthodox Christian” Andrew Tate has now been banned from major social media platforms because of his extremely.

Some of the opinions shared in his videos include that women are the property of men and female victims of sexual assault “bear some responsibility”. On Instagram, Tate had attracted 4.7 million followers before its parent company, Meta, took down his account, as well as banning him from Facebook. Unfortunately, Tate has also labelled himself as an Orthodox Christian, who reportedly donates $20,000 to the Romanian church every month. “The girls are concerned about the negative influence this content is having on their male peers and younger boys,” the post continues, demonstrated by a video of 15-year-old student Fleur speaking about Tate’s influence at a recent workshop. The 35-year-old British-American whose videos have gone viral on social media this year describes himself as “absolutely sexist” and “absolutely a misogynist”. “The church in Romania is very powerful and I like having church friends, so I give them a lot of money,” said Tate on a YouTube video.

Following the ban, Tate issued an apology through a lengthy clip but no redemption seems to be coming his way. Not only has Tate previously insulted the poor but also attacked many women with his hyper-masculine mentality which many believe would adversely influence the younger generation on the platforms. The ban comes as a shock for his followers as over the past months, Tate rose to exponential fame with his misogynistic and problematic views of the world.

As kids head back to classrooms, educators are horrified to find that Tate is their male students' biggest idol.

“We need to be real about the dangers that there are in terms of the development of the self, the definition of the self, the way that you define others and their worth, and the effects that it can have on your self-esteem,” Love told Jezebel. [@the.unteachables](https://www.instagram.com/p/ChK9vZUseYy/) even created a guide for teachers on what to do when Tate is brought up in the classroom: “Open up a conversation so you can guide in a way that informs and educates,” it advises.

In early August, the Guardian [reported](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/06/andrew-tate-violent-misogynistic-world-of-tiktok-new-star) that Tate is being investigated on human trafficking (which he has denied) and rape allegations in Romania, where he lives in a mansion with his brother. “These young people, if they manage to get into university, we’re going to start seeing them in post secondary, we’re going to start seeing them in the workplace,” Rizza said. And if you can align yourself with this dominant ideology, and if you can enact this dominant ideology, then by definition, right off the bat, you’re more powerful than women.” We’d be remiss not to take seriously the appeal of easy money for boys and young men, too, given how inextricably linked capitalism and the patriarchy are. Tate embodies all of this quite flawlessly, down to the dark shades he wears on camera, which “prevent the showing of any emotion that is not masculine,” Moloney pointed out. For her Canadian students, in addition to living across the border from the Trump presidency and witnessing “his remarks towards women,” Rizza explained that being “bored out of their minds stuck at home” in the social isolation of the pandemic helped breed unmatched devotion to social media. “So to be able to look at a text and critically say, ‘What is the bias here?

(He and the woman later said the interaction was consensual, not abusive.) Over the last six years, he’s amassed 11.6 billion TikTok views, 4.7 million Instagram followers, and multiple appearances on vlogs and podcasts, giving him horrific reach for his content.

Tate's validation is too alluring to ignore when you're rejected by society and economically handicapped.

When the state fails to provide support, when adults are so absorbed in trying to live hand to mouth, when opportunities for social mobility are shattered,Tate offers a dangerous hand for them to cling on to. As a secondary school teacher, I’m worried about what this could mean for a whole generation of boys who are soaking up and normalising these abhorrent views – and what it means for the girls and women who are subject to these attitudes. Yes, parents have a responsibility for what their child has access to online, but the reality is that young people spend more time at school than they do at home.

If more of us were willing to hear them and offer them encouragement, obnoxious figures like Tate would become much less appealing to this The feminist answer is for young men to take a backseat and give way to their female peers. He is merely offering insecure men who feel invisible a way of being seen. These same young men can compare Tate to a feminist zeitgeist that accuses them of oppressing women — not just in the present, but throughout history. In nature, physical strength is essential for victory, and this is exactly what Tate espouses. At the same time, women have more choices than ever before. [remember the ‘girlboss’?
