  Awww! Right wingers are gonna be mad when they see this! They believe Tate is being framed or falsely accused by lying females.
context: In the messages in the court order, Tate explained to the woman that he had used a webcam business to “launder money” and that he’d also started teaching men to start their own. “It’s all a cover,” he wrote, assuring her she could trust him. He told the victim that he’d meet her in Romania after taking care of some work in Prague and spoke about the prospect of marriage.  
  “I want to know that you are determined … serious about marriage,” Tate stated in one message, according to the court order.  
  “Yes. I am serious,” the woman replied.
  
  ​
  
  According to the court order, Tate replied that the women in the house work for “Only Fans” — an internet subscription service used extensively by sex workers.  
  “I mean, do they undress and stuff? Or something else,” the woman responded.  
  “No, just bikini,” Tate wrote. “And underwear.”  
  “I thought I would come here and live with you,” she wrote the next day. “It’s a little strange to have you put me with girls who work for you.”
  
  ​
  
  In a message reproduced in the court order, for instance, the Moldovan woman said she was thinking about going into town.  
  “NO,” Tate writes. “Going out alone … without telling me. Mall. Supermarket. NOWHERE. FROM NOW ON. It’s the last warning.”
  
  ​
  
  One of Tristan’s “rules” for her in Romania was “you never talk to anyone unless I introduce you,” messages between the two show. “Romania is my world. No friends from the outside,” he wrote. >
  
  Ah the classic abusers/pimps move of making false promises, isolate, threaten and profit. >
  
  Well this sets a dangerous precedent, if manipulating people like that is illegal, then those poor religions will have to answer to all the abuse they cause! >
  
  It seems disingenuous to conflate mass religion with intimate partner abuse. >
  
  It only seems that way if you're willfully ignorant about what goes on in a lot of churches. >
  
  I am an ex-Catholic who went to Catholic school. I understand perfectly well. I still think it does a disservice to the victims. >
  
  The victims of catholic rape? >
  
  No. Theyre mostly children. We're talking about adult women here. >
  
  Oh like the victims of Sharia…
  Sorry religions confuse me. >
  
  Nah that's  still children, male and female, just depends on where you go. >
  
  I saw him on YMH podcast and he was such a prick I thought “this has a be an act?” Nope. Fuck this dude. >
  
  The interview Bert and Christine did with him was unsurprisingly disappointing.  They asked where Tate got his money from, and he replies that he’s mob connected, and was given a casino, and they just shrugged and moved on.  Maybe ask more details about that?  Less about his opinions on women? >
  
  I think they were kinda scared of him. Now that I know that his schtick wasn’t an act I don’t know if I’d be comfortable in the same room as him. >
  
  The shtick is him exaggerating things from his life to seem cool when really he's just been a pathetic asshole his entire life. Like the mob stuff is almost 100% a lie, the honest part is that he really is a piece of garbage who hates women and considers sexual assault not a big deal.
  Most of the stuff he's said about his past are all basically just outright lies because his brand is about being a tough guy. In reality he's a chess kid who once cried during a tournament because he couldn't win, a kickboxer who mainly padded his record, and a supposed ladies man who pretty much exclusively preys on people with emotional issues. >
  
  I love it when bad things happen to bad people. >
  
  schadenfreude 
  Pleasure derived from someone else’s misfortune. >
  
  
  misfortune
  
  I don't think this is the right word to use, but I can't think of a better one. >
  
  Poetic justice. >
  
  I dont know much about the guy but after watching him talk, hes at least a major douche. Guy literally tried to argue that he hadnt raped a woman and stops to point out 'she wasnt even hot' and im like does he have a textbook of Things A Rapist Would Say? Everything he says just keeps sounding worse. >
  
  He wrote that textbook >
  
  "Tate rape" sounds like an extension of "date rape." Someone who fucked you under false pretenses because they listened to Andrew Tate podcasts. >
  
  I thought it was a typo at first, but this is a great term to coin. >
  
  I don’t mean to be that guy but using the word rape in a phrase that doesn’t actually mean rape (ie, “that dude I was seeing totally Tate-raped me!”) is kinda perpetuating rape culture in that it makes light of the situation, which kind of sort of got us all here in the first place maybe?? >
  
  Thanks, I think I better understand the original comment now. I get tired of people using the word rape in phrases that diminish the meaning but now I don’t think that was the poster’s intention. >
  
  Good on ya! >
  
  Burn in hell Tate, you are a monster and a cancer. >
  
  He will never recover from Greta’s casual virtual left hook >
  
  And she's probably already forgotten who he was. >
  
  "Andrew who? My existence triggers so many white dudes I can't keep track" >
  
  Real question: Is he white? >
  
  I wish his followers on youtube would just slither away.  I’m tired of all the tate videos that keep popping up in my feed.  I have no idea why youtube keeps wanting to push that shit down my throat.  I never once liked one of his vids and always click the “don’t show me this crap again” buttons on it. >
  
  The YouTube right-wing pipeline is real. I’m very glad the algorithm never targeted me with it. >
  
  Honest to god. Apparently the algorithm has decided that I'm just dying to gargle Ben Shapiro's nuts. It's nauseating. >
  
  The algorithm consistently sees that I'm trans and decides oh you like transcontent well let me give you Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh calling you a disgusting disease for the next several months
  Every time I block one of the ads from showing up forever I just get another one a few days later
  Every single social media company wants me to know that I am hated and despised and deserve to die. >
  
  Honestly I think they push it to you if you love it or hate it. I actually sadly watch a lot of sneako/Andrew rate TikTok’s all the way through because they literally make me so angry. It’s awful >
  
  Hey watching content like that and making yourself angry and upset is an act of self harm. Try to keep that in mind and maybe look for stuff that doesn't hurt you >
  
  ehhhh i dont really think so. >
  
  behind the bastards just finished their series on tate. he is even more vile and stupid than I thought >
  
  I truly didn't expect 4 episodes covering the guy. He's not Henry Kissenger or Clarence Thomas. He is some asshole who I never knew about until a year or two ago and he just so happened to be influential in a manner that I am slightly behind the times on. I never knew about Clarence Thomas or Henry Kissenger either but I had at least heard their names a few times and seen pictures. Something that told me "... This guy did something important."
  Tate came outta nowhere and I suddenly heard about him with increasing frequency. >
  
  You never knew about him. Then I’m guessing you are not a teenage man, because he is INCREDIBLY well known in that demographic. >
  
  Yea, 35 and going. To me ... it feels Eben more daunting to be a parent these days. Cannot imagine the amount of bullshit your have to guard your children from. The amount of grifting and worthless nonsense out there is at record highs and it's not going down. Then there's these fuck-heads, who make it acceptable to belittle people and that's terrible >
  
  *Tate-rape* is now a term. >
  
  Textbook sex trafficking. 
  Goodbye scumbag! >
  
  Remember everyone who supports Tate, support rapists >
  
  Yeah I think they're okay with that >
  
  Throw the book at this trafficking piece of shit >
  
  THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE DEFENDING THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!!! Like JC, what will it take for people to finally turn their back to him and stop praising him like the second coming of Hugh Hefner? >
  
  When the reason a group of people like someone is entirely because of that person's shitty traits/behaviors, revealing that the person is shittier than they could ever imagine is going to draw them closer, not push them away. These people can't be fixed. >
  
  A lot of them are literal children so I have a hard time believing they can’t be fixed >
  
  His delusional fans will still find a way to kiss his ass >
  
  This probably just makes them like him more. 
  Good people don't look up to him. >
  
  And there are still desperate incels defending him in this very thread.
  The internet and world at large is such a fucked up place. >
  
  Reminder that adin ross followed this guy and worships him. >
  
  Should I feel good that I don't know who adin ross is? >
  
  Maybe Aiden Ross can go do some time with him and we can be rid of another "influencer" >
  
  Locked in a cell alone with Tate sounds like Adin's wet dream >
  
  Absolutely disgusting, yet I'm not even remotely surprised
  I will do cartwheels if this sentient cumstain gets a decent bit of jail time >
  
  YouTube algorithm favoring right wing or conspiracy theories make sense to me - People are more likely to click "Biden eating a baby alive" than "Net gain from fusion power achieved" >
  
  That is freaking scary that these ideas are basically dangling in front of you. At the same time, people's curiosity into a subject could lead them astray. It's not the curiosity, of course, that's the problem. Far from it. The lack of education and critical thinking is the prime reason.   
  If we had critical thinking, it wouldn't matter what kind of batshit crazy shit is posted. We'd have the good sense to ask questions. I remember when the occasional TV commercial promoted the idea to ask questions about what we are watching. Maybe they should bring those back lol. >
  
  He just lost a 30 day detention  appeal in Romania.
  This dude is a flight risk and would run the first chance he got. >
  
  Millions of young men listen yo this piece of garbage. >
  
  As a geriatric millennial I don't understand "influencers" and why they are successful. Maybe it's because I grew up with reality tv being Jerry Springer, cops, and the Osbournes. After the first season of survivor, I stopped there because it was all a scripted waste of time with horrible acting. Then the Kardashians came and no thank you - total pieces of shit with a delusional money bubble that have no idea what real people deal with. 
  Now,  you got twitch and streamers who are all somehow the absolute worst society has to offer, making loads of money (which I don't understand who is paying them), getting worshipped for watching them play videogames, talking absolute nonsense, or peddling junk products. And in the end, they are all the same bully type personalities that I remember ending up in jail without getting famous or rich first. Absolutely blows my mind how these people are getting this far in the first place. >
  
  
  As a geriatric millennial I don't understand "influencers"
  
  Because you only view them from a "modern" perspective. Influencers and Personalities have been in existence long before they were as efficiently monetized and operationalized as they are now. >
  
  "Washington Post welcomes readers from reddit."
  Hi there Washington Post. Thank you for our e-hospitality and your offer to give my details to your website in the form of a pop-up that blocks whatever ideas you are peddling. I look forward to finding your article copy pasted in the comments. Please accept this emoji gift as a token of my gratitude 🖕. >
  
  JFC, this dude is a nightmare.  If Romania drops the ball on prosecuting him, he's going to continue his cult and hurt a lot more people. >
  
  Isn't he wanted elsewhere as well?  I see to recall that he was wanted in a few countries, but that could be conjecture.  He could possibly do time in Romania, then be extradited to stand trial in other countries.  I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but this d-bag needs to go away forever. >
  
  The UK’s handling of rape cases is disgusting. They hardly even charge sex criminals let alone convict them >
  
  Smug Mug thought he was smart. Turns out he wasn’t. It’ll be a pleasure to read about his conviction. >
  
  I wonder what it feels like to be an alpha male now. >
  
  Can't wait for the Netflix documentary to come out in 2 years stocks up on popcorn >
  
  I'd actually rather never having to hear about this douchenozzle ever again, irrelevancy is probably the only thing he's truly worrying about right now. >
  
  I disagree. 
  I am greatly looking forward to reading the headline about him being sentenced to a decade-plus in a Romanian prison. 
  THEN he can fuck off and never be heard from again. >
  
  Looks like kidnapping too.  Tate and his followers live in a fantasy world which promotes criminal behavior.  The receipts are in the article. >
  
  Looks like the hair plugs didn't work too good for alpha boy... on a serious note, I don't know if there is anything as satisfying as when bad things happen to horrible people like him. For all the accomplishments he had as a kickboxer, he erased them 1000x with his horrible behavior. May he get all the horrible things that he deserves. >
  
  Andrew Tate is looking like Jeffery Epstien sex trafficker hope they throw Tate and brother behind bars for while. >
  
  And there are still guys all over tiktok that worship and idolize this scum. >
  
  Tate is a piece of shit. >
  
  Time to lock him up for life.
