Who is Andrew Tate

I've never been so confused about how I feel about someone yet. Andrew Tate is testing my ability to form a perception about influencers. Why are people always listening to this misogynistic bully that screams toxic masculinity?

Well, his controversial opinions have people glued to the screen waiting to see what he might say next.

Let's see what this retired MMA fighter has to say about women driving

"After seeing a woman make a “U-turn into oncoming traffic,” Tate thought to himself, “how are women allowed to drive?"

The statement just makes me feel like I've gone back a couple of decades in time.

“plenty of women who would enjoy being in a relationship where a man is filling traditional gender roles,” another blatantly misogynistic statement to defend problematic gender roles

He makes statements like men who feel pain cannot be his friends. Other extremely disgusting statements like how he wakes up to multiple women giving him sexual favours.

The question is why is this person not shut down? Why is he trending on social media platforms? A possible theory is that his statements are so over the top that people find is fun and take it in a sarcastic manner. Even if this is the case does it justify him being popular?

Another theory is that there isn't one Andrew Tate. There are still so many people that would agree to his sexist ideology but not openly admit it. It seems he has successfully tapped that part of the population where now those people find it amusing and validation for there own ideas.

What is ur opinion on this? Comedian celebrity or just outright sexism?
