The arrests of the online influencers known for their misogynistic views come after years of investigations in Britain and Romania. The new charges concern offenses dating back to 2010, officials said.
This should be in UpliftingNews
or OrphanCrushingMachine
N…no? Why would it? They committed real crimes, served time in a prison but then got out somehow.
More like, yay someone finally arrested these known human traffickers! Distopian part: and they’ve been selling online coursework how to pimp and abuse women for a decade. Many young men think its fantastic stuff. The US has embraced them as successful buisness men and examples. Meanwhile 2 other nations have tried to make the law stick to these rotten potatoes.
I want to pirate that coursework. Not because I want to consume it. I heard piracy is bad for the creators. I want to pirate it just for the sake of that.
May they die in prison
Well, that’s just great news! !
And on your cake day no less! Happy cake day!
I keep hearing about these guys being rounded up over and over, but is anyone ever going to prosecute them for something?
If you really do care about knowing, probably should read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers
Let’s get them locked up. They’re currently riding the wave of extremism and even young lads are starting to think they are “getting their manliness back”.
It’s not often you hear of good news anymore.
Just collecting charges. Maybe someday they can get a sentence.
Hell, even a phrase would be better than nothing.
Good. And pleeease also take their phones away!
…have developed a following for content that promotes hyper-masculinity
I object to this phrasing. What they do isn’t masculine, only moreso. It isn’t masculine, just really really masculine.
What they do is toxic, abusive, and criminal. That shit should not be anywhere on the scale of masculinity.
You are correct.
I wonder how normal, healthy men can “take back” the concept of masculinity and get young people to ignore the toxic teachings coming out of the “manosphere.” I think that Louis Theroux tried with his documentary, but I’m not sure it reached a wide enough audience.
Laughing at these pieces of shit while they go to jail is a good start.
Weren’t these guys arrested like 10 years ago?
I don’t think it was that long, but at least Andrew had been in prison in Romania already. Complaining how he’s a victim of communist state violence etc. Not sure why they got out, but I’m glad the UK is picking up the ball.
It’s not like these guys are going to stop to abuse women (and brag about it online) otherwise.
They got out because the US “leaned” on Romania to release them.
In February 2025, according to the Financial Times, Richard Grenell played a key role in securing the release of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, two influencers prosecuted in Romania on charges of rape and human trafficking. He discussed the matter with Romanian foreign minister Emil Hurezeanu at the 61st Munich Security Conference. Grenell denied any pressure on the Romanian government.
…but the problem is they do stop to abuse women. That’s what the arrests are for.
King Charles expects now a call from potus that the arrest was somewhat rigged and that he needs to release them asap
May they throw away the key
Good. Lock them up and keep them in the UK.
I’d rather they get their trial in the states.
The UK has some bizarrely lenient sentencing for sex crimes. Like months or a couple of years. These chuckle fucks should rot for as long as possible, not only for their crimes but also as a punishment for the damage they’ve done to a generation of boys and young men.
The US makes rapists who are popular president though so idk man the UK might be better in this case.
Trump would pardon them.
At this point, I will take whatever justice we can get to put those clowns in jail.
not so fun fact: paywall is what pushes ppl to use AI to get the summaries
No clue who they are, but they seem to be awful people so hooray.
I know you seem to think this gives you some sort of “I only care about important things” cred, but you have to be ignorant of huge problems with our society to not know who they are, so maybe dial back the performance.
Proud ignorance as a moral high ground. A disease in itself
Genuinely have no idea who they are. I couldn’t care less about the Internet fame bullshit, and have never understood why some people pay attention to any of them.
Then what are you even doing here in this thread?
You think caring about random asshats on social media is a prerequisite to reading and commenting on news?
Do you pay attention to the actual news? The vast majority of reporting on the radicalisation of boys and young men to the far right in the past few years has mentioned Andrew Tate by name.
This is a news community. Seems fairly clear I pay attention to the news in general. As for news about social media personalities, no. I don’t care what someone on youtube or tiktok says. It’s weird to me that so many people seem to.
Not news about social media personalities, or what someone on youtube or tiktok says. Actual news about current events.
Andrew Tate: ‘I fear online influencer radicalised my son’
If I see something like “online influencer” I’m ignoring it. Because that would be news about social media personalities. I don’t give a fuck.
Incredibly stupid attitude. Do you think everyone who reads about fascism is interested in fascism? Eager to get the latest updates from how fascists are doing?
The manosphere crap is already affecting your life whether you’re aware of it or not. This is not celebrity gossip, it is the same hijacking of new media that 10 years ago put a reality TV host in the White House. Things aren’t relevant to you until they are very, very relevant to you.
I read the news every day and haven’t a clue who these people are either.
