Tate has clearly helped to normalize expressions of overt misogyny to a fanbase of millions of young men.
Tate is, with special attention to his misogyny. A forthcoming Part 2 features a series of talking points to help spark discussions in the classroom and around the dinner table about Tate’s views, alleged criminal behavior, and the role of the online “manosphere” in helping to shape retrograde and reactionary beliefs about masculinities, women and feminism.
Through a combination of videos, podcast interview appearances and a steady stream of wildly provocative and often jarringly misogynous statements, Tate has long demonstrated a stunning aptitude for both attracting attention and monetizing it. Tate’s arrest last week near Bucharest appears to be related to another source of his considerable income. A statement released by Romanian prosecutors said, “The four suspects … appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialized websites for a cost.”
Regardless of his intent, Tate has clearly helped to normalize expressions of overt misogyny. This is especially worrisome when you consider that his audience includes many millions of young men who have received a barrage of mixed messages over the past generation about what it means to be a man in a time of rapid societal transformation.
He was “permanently” banned from Twitter in 2017 after tweeting that women who are sexually assaulted “bear some responsibility” for the assault. Tate regularly makes standard issue right-wing populist pronouncements about shadowy elites controlling the world and censoring conservative speech. When he was arrested, he tweeted that “the Matrix” had tried to shut him down; he later tweet-bragged that it would not succeed, because “my unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.” He added, “For every domain the Matrix shuts down, we have dozens ready to replace it.
