Andrew Tate's BBC Interview was...telling...

[@KatBlaque]

Okay so I watched the unedited version of this interview and I filmed my reaction to it! If this comment gets 200 likes, I'll upload my full reaction to it, but here's my feelings after watching it in full: I can understand where Tate's fans are coming from when they say this was dishonestly edited because when you watch the full interview, he definitely seems less confrontational and ultimately, Lucy ends the interview in frustration. That's why the edited BBC interview doesn't really have a neat ending and ends with him trailing off. The interview also contextualizes some of the strange comments within this interview. For example, lucy does bring up one example of a man becoming more abusive after following Tate and says "one is too many" which is why he says "so you're gonna tell me that one woman complained about her boyfriend not doing the dishes?". The edited interview also is edited slightly out of sequence and she definitely came into the interview with specific statements she'd use to frame the interview. Overall, Lucy definitely seems less strong in the unedited interview, especially because of how it ended. That being said... The essence of the edited interview is really not that out of line with the actual happenings of the unedited interview. He is indeed confrontational and emotional BUT the real reason he has those emotions is that he was under the impression the interview would be about what he sees as his unfair imprisonment. He wanted that to be the ultimate focus of the interview and while he did speak about the good he does in the world, that was not really the primary argument he made, but a defense (a poor one imo). It's clear to me that his frustration lies in the fact that he CAN'T legally speak about certain things pertaining to his current case and he is more fixated on the good he's done, but does not understand that he is not, by in large, seen as a positive force. He comes off as fairly sheltered within his bubble.While there are plenty of people who praise him and there are a lot of people fascinated with him, the general consensus is he's a dangerous and harmful person. Even if those people are out of touch "legacy media" that is still the average person's view of him. Which is why Lucy had those questions. Most people are not going to watch his long interviews where he shares the nuance of his views. They are going to only react to the misogynistic clips that float around the internet and he doesn't seem to understand that this is the common cultural understanding of him. Refreshingly, he does admit that he would not say the things he once said because of his current influence. When he speaks about certain comments being jokes, he is NOT referring to the video I share in this video, but jokes made in passing that Lucy presented as evidence of his misogyny. Lucy goes into detail and lists several jokes that were somewhat obvious to me as evidence of his deep seeded misogyny. He brushes this off because these statements are jokes and frankly, i understand why he feels that way. He feels those comments are taken out of context because everyone laughed at the jokes at the time. That said the reason I think the interview's edited version is still pretty accurate is because he never actually addresses the comments he made. He neither defends them nor states that they were a joke. He outright denies saying them and that is what is portrayed in the interview. That was my sticking point and the edit accurately portrayed the fact that he never once addressed her question. It also accurately portrays the fact that he strawmanned her point about the Bugatti. She never says having a nice car makes you misogynistic, but he continues to argue against the idea that having a nice car doesn't make you a misogynist. He does indeed strawman her. That is simply an accurate portrayal of events. The full interview contextualizes his frustration more so I see why people are saying it's unfair. IT also makes it clear that she was speaking in soundbites that sound more daring than the reality of the interview. But does the unedited version really shift the perspective? Not particularly. Yes, he was less confrontational, but he was still quite confrontational. The reason behind his emotion is indeed different, but at the end of the day, he is still emotional. He makes it clear that the BBC was pursuing an interview with him, which I tend to believe, but that only means they're trying to do their job. That makes a lot of sense. Lucy is very obviously not a fan of Tate so I don't buy that she was "obsessed" with him, but she certainly wanted to face him. She certainly wanted to confront him. Does he come off better in the unedited interview? Yes, but I struggle to think he was misrepresented in the way his fans seem to say. The edit was pretty faithful, just not as favorable towards Tate. I still think he's likely a misogynist and it's possible he's done the things he's accused of and i kinda base that on how he references women even within this interview almost exclusively as "females". Providing for women doesn't mean you aren't a misogynist. Neither does giving to charity. At the end of the day, even if the BBC was chasing him for an interview, it was very stupid for him to say yes to it. It doesn't exactly make sense for him to have so much ire towards "legacy media", but then agree to be interviewed by them. He should have assumed that they were not going to represent him well. I say no to a lot of interviews because I don't trust that they will faithfully portray me. I understand the frustration of being misrepresented!! It happens when interviews are edited down, but i don't think we got anything from the unedited interview that really shifts the perspective from the edited interview. It explains his frustration. Shows that it's edited a bit to make him seem more confrontational, but he still ultimately doesn't answer the questions that would sway those against him towards his side. THAT would be the only real reason to do this interview and ultimately that was never going to happen. So it was a bad idea to agree in the first place.

[@AW-uv3cb]

That's a great summary, and while I don't have the patience to subject myself to the full version of the interview, I find it commendable how objective you try to be in your assessment of how Tate might have come across. Even though most of us here would probably want to interviewer to completely own him, there's no shame in admitting that she came across as somewhat less strong, and he somewhat less awful, than in the final cut. It just means that you're actually basing your opinions of him on the words that come out of his mouth, and not on what you want to hear and see, which makes your overall assessment more believable. Massive respect for that!

Not "more British" - though I think I get why you say that - so much as more lower-class British, in my amateur opinion. Again, amateur opinion, but I think there is a cross-cultural prejudiced sense that lower class accents sound harsher, more aggressive, and more belligerent. I think it's a semi-conscious effort on Tate's part to implicitly threaten the interviewer and make himself feel more macho by leaning into the strong vowels and dropped consonants. And that's not a British thing. Think of any American urban accent or lower-class country accent, then compare that with the "refined" tones of an NPR broadcaster and I think you'll hear what I mean. And just to be totally clear, this is a classist attitude, totally unfair to those who speak in lower-class accents. But I think it's an attitude that most of us are guilty of holding even without realizing it.

It's baffling how many Andrew Tate followers seem to think being angry, petulant, and argumentative doesn't count as being emotional. It's like they've been tricked into thinking "If I'm angry and reactive, then I might get my way, so I must be in control" when in reality behavior like Tate's shows a deeply out of control person. Like a toddler having a tantrum, you can get your way and still be out of control.

We underestimate how many bots we see, or even engage with on social media all the time. Bot spamming is especially common for pushing political agendas and inflammatory gender discourse. People interested in promoting a certain view will buy bots to spam comment sections and sway the generel opinion in their favor. Sometimes theyre impossible to spot, but a couple tells for most (not all!) sneaky social media bots are underscores in their usernames, a bio or youtube description that lists information about them ("INFJ. Jesus first. NYC Grad 2001. Mommy of 3") dubious posting activity like uploading clips from other peoples youtube videos, or on picture-based social medias, having only a handful of pictures that seem regular but can all be reverse image searched. My guess is that maybe 20% of the comments on the BBC video is inflated by bot activity? I dont know everything there is to know on this stuff so if someone else has a different opinion let me know.

Tate's tell for me was with another interview he did where he toured his mansion and there was a huge television and he said that he never watched it. To me, that was all I needed to know. He's an empty, meaningless man who is role-playing as someone that has substance. I'd feel sorry for him if it weren't for all these allegations and damage he's done to countless people around the world. It was a really small thing that just completely told the whole story imo. Same thing happened when I read Peterson's 12 rules. There was just something super subtle he said so matter-of-factly that made me think 'well that's not necessarily true' and it revealed his true nature as a pseudo intellectual. Same thing with Tate and the tv...he performs as someone who has everything, but he has nothing. Why would you buy the best TV you can, but you don't even watch tv? Just filling a void with money.

[@KatBlaque]

Even his anecdote about being a drug dealer (realizing that a doctor can drive a shitty car but he wants to drive an expensive car and that’s. Why he need to break laws to make money) reveals the same thing. A lot of these men like the appearance of wealth.

"How do men watch this man avoid accountability and still think that he's a masculine dude?" Unfortunately, I think that a lot of men are actually smart enough to see what Andrew's doing (including Andrew himself) but they've realized that the truth sometimes is only what you accept it to be. Andrew has made a career of faking it until you make it, "it" being masculinity, and now he has a legion of folks who treat him as a masculinity guru even though he clearly isn't. The real masculinity that you describe is hard. It takes a lot of growth and a lot of self reflection that frankly hurts. Avoiding accountability is easier than addressing it and Andrew's version of pseudo-masculinity comes with cars, cigars and subservient women. I think that they would rather prop him up and see him succeed because if they can help Andrew create a world where he can do that, then that fake and harmful but easy and "fun" masculinity seems more accessible. And if that's accessible, who cares what the truth is?

[@Berxy]

It is unfair to assume that all men who appreciate Andrew's approach to masculinity are doing so because they are avoiding accountability or seeking an easy way out. People have diverse backgrounds, experiences, and aspirations, which shape their understanding of masculinity. Personally I find inspiration in Andrew's confidence and his ability to project a certain image, irrespective of whether it aligns with traditional notions of masculinity. Labeling Andrew's version of masculinity as fake and harmful overlooks the fact that masculinity itself is a multifaceted concept. There is no universally correct way to be masculine, as it varies across cultures and generations. My view on masculinity, does not invalidate other expressions or interpretations. Assuming that Andrew's followers are seeking subservient women or endorsing negative gender dynamics is a generalization that oversimplifies their motivations. It is possible for individuals to appreciate certain aspects of Andrew's persona without necessarily subscribing to every aspect of his lifestyle or views. People like myself can admire elements like his mental drive, charisma, and success while still valuing equality and respectful relationships.

@@Berxy can I ask you a serious question? In my observation, there are men who have all of the good qualities that you’re describing without the misogyny. Why is it so easy for you to overlook the misogyny and why does that not make you, in some way, a misogynist in your mind? What bothers me about this is I tend to believe that if you cling onto someone who demonstrates time and time again that they carry very hateful views towards women (or other groups) how is that not an endorsement of the other stuff? There are plenty of confident men who don’t also put down women or encourage men to exploit them. Why do those men not resonate with you and why are you willing to defend him despite those things? Im asking because if I am to generously interpret your position it would be easy for me to assume that you only cling to him because the pickings are slim. Like the only way you’d want to admire him is because you feel you’re lacking other examples of strong and masculine men. It would be easy for me to, for example, ignore femininity advice from a white woman who hated black women even if the advice was good.

I recommend you gift him Vinland Saga and Berserk. I know it’s a long shot. But I have heard countless stories of men saying they have left toxic masculinity because of these mangas.

As a guy I have to say I think the appeal of Tate to young boys is that he says they’re entitled to things, to see the world a center way. When you’re a young boy in the suburbs and your dad probably works a lot and most of your teachers are probably women, he supplies a worldview that empowers the boys to feel entitled to privilege their teachers probably try checking at the door

[@Berxy]

Implying that young boys feel entitled to privilege because their teachers are predominantly women is a generalization that overlooks the complexity of gender dynamics and the diverse range of experiences within families and educational settings. He promotes the idea that young men can strive for success, not by trampling over others or demanding unearned privileges, but by developing their skills, pursuing their passions, and taking charge of their own lives. It's about instilling confidence and teaching them to overcome obstacles rather than wallowing in victimhood. It's about shifting the mindset of young men from feeling powerless to recognizing their own agency. It's about inspiring them to become proactive, hardworking individuals who strive for personal growth and success.

[@galacsinhajto]

@Berxy That is what you got from him? What is the virulent misogyny for? He literally said that women are less intelligent than men.

[@rosalbaeugeniadelarosa-rub5693]

​@@Berxy Well, sure, but if Tate teaches boys to achieve success without trampling on others, then why are there so many stories about these boys mistreating their teachers and classmates? Even if some could be lies, there's the inevitability that some (or most, in my opinion) are true. What is it about Tate's teachings that inspire them to be like this? Something that struck me while watching the interview was the way Tate responded to the questions and statements of the interviewer... That being, he would immediately jump into responding, and for the majority of the conversation, try to dominate it by speaking over the interviewer. It was clear that his responses weren't thought out, which gives (to me, at least) the impression that he was trying to win a fight when there wasn't one at all. I'll concede to the possibility that Tate may have taught what you said he has taught, but I don't think you take into consideration the way he does this; the way he speaks to others in an aggressive manner. I think it's very likely that the way he speaks is something that a lot of young boys imitate in an effort to be like him, which is to say, to be agitated and to be agitating in order to be in control. In that case, I don't think it really matters what he virtues he teaches if these young men only see that he wins by being loud. I understand that you're trying to change the minds of a lot of people in this comment section, but I don't think you're objectively viewing the things Tate has done and said, which may be why you're not really succeeding. I do think it's admirable that you're not leveling personal attacks and that you're trying to engage in a conversation, but I think you're doing it with points that don't stand up to the contradictory evidence that could be pulled up...

[@Berxy]

​@@rosalbaeugeniadelarosa-rub5693 Kids constantly make obscene jokes and imitate popular people whom they admire or despise. Andrew Tate, if not now, then when this came out, was the most powerful man on the globe. You couldn't go anyplace in the UK without hearing something favourable or negative about him. If you watch the complete interview it's much more coherent and demonstrates the BBC's lack of preparation; I wish I could have interviewed Andrew Tate because he has contradicted himself multiple times in his past. Some of those contradictions I didn't know till I watched this video. I understand your concerns, but let's not discount the positive impact that Andrew Tate can have on individuals who embrace his teachings in a constructive manner. It's about finding a balance between being assertive and respectful, not simply mimicking his style without understanding the underlying principles. If you listen to his long form content even if you disagree with him, you can tell he is a well spoken individual. I don't agree with many things he preaches, including his one sided poly relationships. I don't believe I said anything that could be argued against; I was quite deliberate in my word choice. As for the contradictory evidence you mentioned, I'm open to discussing it. Let's have a genuine conversation and weigh the arguments from both sides. It's through dialogue and critical thinking that we can gain a deeper understanding of complex issues. My Discord is "Berxy", I am a open minded individual and I am open to hearing what anyone has to say.

[@KatBlaque]

@@Berxy see but my issue with some of what you’re saying is that it does seem that, as OP states, you are not viewing this objectively. I think we can all buy that there’s some value you gain from the long form content but on face value, he loudly presents himself in a way that a lot of people would see as terrible. I think there’s a difference between being well spoken and speaking with confidence. I think what happens in the case of Tate is he speaks confidently and with authority and I think for many people who struggle to do that, it’s very admirable. I’m a public speaker and I do it very naturally and most people can’t. So I understand why you’d admire someone who’s able to do that but that doesn’t mean what they’re saying is necessarily well spoken. I get the impression that he’s good at stringing together words and speaking to a certain kind of man. He tells stories well and has a very particular way of speaking that I can see young boys admiring. But in this interview, he is dodging a lot of questions and misrepresenting a lot of arguments. Time and time again. He may be able to rant well about what good he does but that’s a bit different than him being able to take on these conversations and respond appropriately. He doesn’t come off as well spoken in this interview at all. I’m sure in the longer interview he veers off into other directions that poke at areas where he is well spoken but when it comes to what we are currently discussing??? I wouldn’t say he’s well spoken. Like I said I don’t think he should have done this interview

[@Dutch3DMaster]

@@ouwebrood497 He needs to uphold the one and only idea that women are told what to do, and not the other way around. Since there's now a woman sitting across from him telling him what he did and how that affects people, he needed to make sure to still look like the dominant factor in the conversation, which is why he continues to talk over her: he needs to be the loudest, she needs to look like the weaker element, she needs to be put in her place. When you take all of the misogynistic bullshit he spouts into account, he seems to use interviews with women as a talking point per se: he thinks he can own those interviews (separate from the fact that he probably thought he'd get free air-time without interruptions about how mean people were being to him) and use them to further his agenda and push further sexist rhetoric.

Andrew probably thought he was going to have the opportunity to further his hateful rhetoric and tell people how mean they had been to him without being interrupted, which is probably why he agreed to this interview, along with probably not having enough common sense to realize that doing this while under criminal investigation is probably one of the most stupid things you can do...

This Tate interview was so so triggering he sounds much like my abuser’s argument style( in private lol). Purposely misrepresenting what she said, Denying the truth and reframing it in a way to downplay the reality. He is just interested in the buzz words and to talk over and talk down to the presenter It’s so claustrophobic engaging in spaces online that exalts these very obviously antisocial behaviors.

[@deefpaladin]

When you look at Tate as seeking money and prestige to get away with abuse, he really starts to look like his entire life is built up to commit horrible crimes.

[@alexwyatt2911]

A lot of abusers do this. The public is often very confused when celebrities, who are known for doing charitable work, are eventually exposed to be incredibly abusive. Jimmy Saville and Bill Cosby were two men who did genuinely good things for a lot of children; they also committed horrific sexual abuse to a lot of people. Out of their confusion about this dichotomy, people have described those men as being “two people.” But that’s not what’s happening. Abusers like that do good in order to cloak their abuse. They do good in order to access people. The “good” is a means to end-not a conflicting facet of their psyche. Andrew Tate is desperate to be -something- someone. Being “someone” is a defense against the paralyzing fear that Tate has that he’s no one. He’s built an empire in order to abuse women. And he abuses women in order to build an empire. The thing is, Tate abuses men too. He exploits his fan base; he doesn’t care if they’re happy or healthy. He calls them “losers” and takes their money. Unlike Saville and Cosby, Andrew Tate didn’t couch his abuse in good works. That’s why his reign was so short compared to theirs. Being bombastic and openly abusive may skyrocket a person into the zeitgeist, but it will be a short ride.
