Andrew Tate is getting de-platformed, and it has already been meme'd to death.
For the uninitiated, Andrew Tate is an influencer who has gained an insane amount of traction online over the past couple of months. Tate's videos have been heavily criticized as misogynistic, as he frequently describes his strategies to control and pick up women in shocking and violent ways. His content is essentially a continuation of MGTOW and pickup artist content that was more popular about five years ago. His primary audience, teenage boys who have developed a cultlike devotion to him, mirrors his misogynistic talking points in their daily lives.
Many people see his cultural impact as a crisis of masculinity that will continue to hurt young men and women until his influence can be nipped in the bud. Luckily for his detractors, Tate has been banned from YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram this week. His alleged de-platforming is currently inspiring a lot of jokes and memes on Twitter.
