Andrew Tate, a former kickboxing champion and self-proclaimed male guru, has been spreading his misogynistic views on social media for years. He did not miss the opportunity to repeat that “women belong to their man” and they should “have children, stay at home, be silent and make coffee.” He also said he wanted to dominate the women he was involved with, emphasizing that “you can’t be held responsible for a dog that doesn’t obey you”, while admitting that he would beat up any woman who accuses him of cheating. . She was proud to be a half-blood. His social media followers have dubbed him “the king of male toxicity”.

The content he posted on his social media accounts went viral last summer and is now raising concerns about the impact it is having on young men and boys.

The former kickboxing champion was banned from Facebook, TikTok and Instagram for inciting violence.

Andrew Tate is now banned from Facebook, TikTok and Instagram for violating terms of use, inciting violence and threatening people based on their gender.

Many social media users and organizations for victims of sexual and domestic violence have called for a ban on the 35-year-old who was born in the US, raised in the UK and lives in Romania. British band Hope Not Hate also created an online petition to have him banned, pointing out that “his biting misogyny can affect young men” and that Tate is dangerous. The group even reported that his home in Romania was ransacked as part of a white flesh trafficking operation. He denied involvement and no arrests were made.

It is worth noting that among the followers of his extreme rhetoric there are also far-right circles and conspiracy theorists, such as Paul Joseph Watson, editor-in-chief of the Infowars website, in which Tate has repeatedly featured.
