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.
These guys. What douchebags. And I have some questions that I’m not sure I want to know the answers to about Andrew’s outfit when he was arrested. … Lol
…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.
and prison rape jokes suddenly come back into fashion…
Agent Smith finally caught up with them
God they’re so sigma I’m completely jealous /s
May they throw away the key
not so fun fact: paywall is what pushes ppl to use AI to get the summaries
Wait, there’s two of them?
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:

Like all bad things that are happening at the moment it’s trump’s fault. They were arrested in Romania and were in a Romanian prison until Trump got involved and kept threatening things until the Romanian authorities released them.
They should have told Trump to spin on it, he wouldn’t have done anything.
His son Baron wanted them out, he’s a fan
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.
At this point, I will take whatever justice we can get to put those clowns in jail.
Trump would pardon them.
The US makes rapists who are popular president though so idk man the UK might be better in this case.
Not in this case though. What you’re talking about is sexual assault but these two are facing far more than just a few sexual assault charges (not that those aren’t serious either), including kidnap, false imprisonment, human trafficking, and money laundering.
The concern in sexual assault charges is always the possibility of false accusations. Sadly some people seem to try and use trumped up historical sexual assault accusations against people that they have a vendetta against, and it’s kind of hard for the other party to defend against. How do you prove you didn’t commit a crime 15 years ago when there’s no evidence either way?
It’s not often you hear of good news anymore.
King Charles expects now a call from potus that the arrest was somewhat rigged and that he needs to release them asap
NYTimes is trying to force me to make an account. Is there an alternative link?
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.
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.
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?
Trying to be holier than thou, of course
Good. And pleeease also take their phones away!
