What wonderful news to start the day with!
As a side note, my son (who’s currently in high school) reports that the Tatetification of the younglings has ceased to spread, and raggedy Andy is now openly mocked. Mad props to @gretathunberg for developing such an effective fungicide against Mildew Tate from nothing more than a slice of pizza.
Look like Qnuts were right about pizza gate after all, they just messed up few small details.
I have no kids, but I have nieces, and also have enough empathy to be concerned for others’ children. Was genuinely concerned seeing how influential he was amongst boys / teen lads.
It’s long past time to put serious checks & balances on social media. It’s literally ripping apart the fabric of our societies.
I’m wondering what it is that young males saw in him that they resonated with.
I’m (anecdotally) guessing that there might be a recent lack of positive online discourse on masculinity because the positive role models might have become reluctant to participate because of the social climate that only the loud misguided ones like Tate become the “examples” of masculinity to look to in social media.
I think a major factor is that many guys like the idea of dominance - it’s pretty fucking core in the brain of a primate. Another core “primatey” idea is that Women gravitate towards guys with power, wealth and leaders of the pack (the whole alpha males gets a harem concept - another thing that resonates with males). Tate’s idea of a leader-of-a-pack was being an asshole, and that’s the secret he was pushing, and the social media outrage machine helped unintentionally push to more eyes - at least that’s my take on it
Good to hear. My 9yo just asked me about Tate the other day.
Did you tell them it was a dirty word and not used in polite company?
Raggedy Andy is one of the best nicknames I’ve seen for him yet. Possibly better than Andrew Taint.
Put a giant novelty circus cannon on a ship. Sail out into the middle of the arctic. Launch him out of it and be done with it all.
Why is this guy not in jail waiting for the case to be brought up?
He was, but if I recall correctly the Romanian law has a limit of 3 months (?) they can keep someone in jail waiting for the trial. As much as I (dis)agree with the sentiment of “jail is for poor people”, this is not the case here.
EDIT: Additionally, I think it’s okay for him to serve his time only after the due process. This is what makes it fair instead of it being a lynch. Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later.
It’s actually 180 days. In this particular case it wasn’t about the limit. Romanian law has another provision: if you are not considered a “threat to society”, you can be investigated without being jailed. Normally, that means you walk free until your trial, with some restrictions on leaving the city or country, depending on your charge. However, if you are considered a flight risk while also not being deemed a “threat to society”, you will usually await trial under house arrest. No need to be rich or famous, just have a half-decent lawyer or a lenient prosecutor who doesn’t even ask for jail time to begin with.
Thanks for the clarification! Do you happen to know the legal basis for the first few months of his non-house arrest?
Human trafficking is a very serious charge. By default, anyone accused of that would fall under the “threat to society” rule. If he’s at home now, his lawyers must have successfully proven that he would keep his head down, or prosecutors simply stopped asking for jail time. Sometimes they do that if they believe it would increase the chances for suspects to cooperate with the investigation. Neither are uncommon, especially for someone who hasn’t been convicted before.
That’s a very good thing. In the US there are people who spend years in jail just waiting to be charged. Some wait so long that by the time they’re charged they’re coerced into playing guilty because the time they already served would be less than the crime so they’re allowed to be free immediately if they plead guilty. If they want to maintain their innocence they’d have to stay longer to wait trial. I have no clue how it’s constitutional.
Pure evil
jail is for poor people
Yeah, house arrest isn’t really a punishment. I like being at home. It’s home. I got Internet, a comfy bed, and appliances.
And he can continue doing the shit he’s been doing up to this point. It’s BS.

Rare moment when I’m proud to be Romanian
You should be proud. It’s a beautiful country.
Meh, it’s ok I guess. I’m lucky I live in a big city tho, some parts of it are quite poor
I had a Romanian friend, he said you can trust the people in the mountain, but you cannot trust the people in the plains (guess where he was from), any idea why he thought that?
Checked with another Romanian friend, she had never heard anything like it.
Idk, I live in the plains and there are trustworthy people here as well. Never heard anything like that
Thank you, yeah I thought it quite weird.
Can’t wait to never hear about this guy again
Good fucking riddance to that walking sack of pubic hair and congealed cum.
Fuck that loser.
I would never stoop that low.
Everyone has their price.
He is a fucking scum.
They will keep him there a long time it seems. I understand why.
The first time I heard about this guy was when this stuff with Thunberg happened.
I just don’t understand what actually happened there. Why would Someone with a ton of money and a successful scam running (getting payed by stupid young men looking for advice) start participating in human trafficking?
And why in Europe? Everything about this guy is weird and doesn’t make sense. Whenever this guy talks, I don’t know if he is serious or a comedian. Whenever he talks he mixes up reasonable stuff with the most brain-dead ideas.
He is like a hybrid of Trump and Biden. Mixed together and raised by Tuco Salamanca and Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad.
I think that it was the other way around. He made money with web cam girls, expanded into human trafficking and then started selling advice about how he made his money.
Yeah his money comes from the girls not his influencer business
I just looked up. This has been years ago.
If the accusations are correct, is there even any chance they find evidence?
He’s bragged about a lot of it, that’s evidence. He’s directly taunted his rape victims, explicitly saying that enjoyed their lack of enjoyment. I believe they also have several women testifying. I don’t know what else there is though.
I never knew much about this guy but I recently saw a horrific video with him and one of his girls floating around the Web. That gave me enough evidence
Does not sound like they got tangible evidence. A shame if he is truly guilty.
You’re saying Scarface had it backwards this whole time?
Facescar
“Say friend to my little hello!”
Everything about this guy is weird and doesn’t make sense. Whenever this guy talks, I don’t know if he is serious or a comedian.
You’re familiar with white supremacists already and understand they are real.
Just replace white with male supremacist instead. Everything will slot into place. Similar groups of people with very similar behaviours that often overlap.
Thank god he’s getting thousands of dollars from Elon Musk then…
