Fucking disgusting. I feel a deeper sense of shame everyday because this is being allowed in the US.

    Tate is the main inspiration for my theory that “incel” behavior and attitudes aren’t necessarily tied to involuntary celibacy.

    I think it’s more fundamental than that, and it’s just that that personality type often ends up involuntarily celibate, which amplifies their bitterness and spite and misogyny.

    But there’s another distinctive type of “incel” who, through some happenstance or another, manages to get laid. They share the same bitterness and spite and misogyny as the celibate incels, but the fact that they actually can manage to get laid adds a layer of entirely unwarranted arrogance on top of that.

    And Tate is the exemplar of that. He just radiates “incel” - only with an extra layer of arrogance on top of it.

      Involuntarily celibate people are that way specifically because their personality is shit. Most of them are narcissistic for sure, so they turn off any self respecting woman.

      Now, there will always be women with absolutely garbage self esteem who will enter into a relationship with such a person because they feel like they have no other option.

      But yeah, you’re right. Being an incel is more about their personality disorder than not having sex. They basically want a house/sex slave and don’t see women as people.

        He’s a sex trafficker

        Which is an incel dream job. He’s just managed to make it a reality instead of fap material.

      I think you’re missing a big factor: money.

      When you have enough money, you can pay to not be celibate. The difference between Andrew Tate and the chuds who worship him is Tate has enough money to pay (or forcibly coerce…) women for sex. His crowd doesn’t.
