Even after his arrest for sex-trafficking in Romania, many teenage boys are still proud to call Andrew Tate a role model. The Onion asked adolescent males why they look up to the influencer, and this is what they said.
“As someone facing prison time in Romania for sex-trafficking, I find Andrew Tate really relatable.”
“Because women belong in the home, cooking and cleaning until their men get home from track practice.”
“I don’t agree with what he says about women, but he makes some good points about sluts and whores.”
“Tate is just saying what everyone else is writing in their manifestos.”
“Unlike all these other unrealistic influencers, he has the kind of beard I can actually grow in high school.”
“He showed up on my For You page, and since I’ve already let TikTok dictate every other aspect of my personality, I decided to just go with it.”
“Men have been second-class citizens for way too long in my made-up version of society.”
“I hate him, but feel I have to follow him to keep up with hallway conversation.”
“I have low self-esteem and am incredibly impressionable.”
“It’s the sunglasses.”
“It’s no longer rebellious enough to merely start doing drugs.”
“Not only does he have a Bugatti, but he was kind enough to donate it to the Romanian government.”
“He opened my eyes to societal discrimination against men, like when my mom won’t let me go out on a school night.”
“He’s just like me, someone whose brain isn’t fully developed yet.”
“I love how he’s a big success but still hasn’t forgotten how to resent women.”
“Real alphas blindly follow other self-proclaimed alphas.”
“Eh, I guess he’s just the easiest way to be radicalized these days.”
