He’s easily the biggest person on the internet right now. At least for the last 5 months. I’m legit surprised you guys never heard of him. Biggest virus on the net

Like others I haven't heard of him either until recently. I wonder what the results of a Rorschach test would be for this invertebrate.

Must be a different internet.. First time I heard of this guy was yesterday when I saw a thread about him at the other place and now here..

That's the scary thing he was apparently huge with young kids but completely under the radar for parents.

I heard about him last Saturday and coincidentally he got banned this week. Don’t think he’s really as big as people think he is. 4.5 million followers is not really much compared to the bigger celebs

Except that's 4.5 million followers among a specific demographic.

He's admitted in the past that, even though he stands at 6'3", his dick is small.
(or I guess relatively small for his height)

Never seen him before. But again, more selective banning. I’ve seen far worse on those platforms that is allowed to be, but it’s the “right kind of worse.”

It really saddens me to think that an entire generation of men are seeking father figures via YouTube videos and podcasts.

This is frighteningly accurate. Young men are having their morality and world view dictated to by internet fucking shills, who only say and do what they say and do to keep people liking and subscribing. Washouts like Peterson would have been the unpleasant guy at the back of the room nobody pays any attention to twenty years ago. Social media has made failed men fortunes, and that is one of its biggest crimes.

So true. it’s certainly amplified the snake oil salesman’s reach more than anything.

He should be arrested for spreading hate speech. Seriously, one of the most disgusting individuals ever to appear on social media.
Trust me. Banning him from all social media was the only option.

I've never come across this guy and I'm a big Peterson fan. I guess youtube knows me well enough. Sounds like a douche in the best case.

I’ve seen a couple of his video and while I think he does make some astute observations he takes it way to far to the extreme where it becomes harmful for young men and how they view the world.

Thank the feminist propaganda machine for destroying the nuclear family structure. Young males have no one to guide them in their lives except for brainwashed feminist males with their hate for masculinty.
This is a much deeper issue then Andrew Tate. You can clearly see it in this thread alone.

He's a cunt maybe and knows to play up that character but what was hate speech?

Misogyny. He's misogynistic. In the UK we're looking to make misogyny a hate crime. It was passed by the House of Lords, but last I heard the gov blocked it.
I think it should be a hate crime. Would prevent toxic ass hole like this spreading their hate.

Why stop there, just put them in gas chambers and be done with it, am I right?
That's a bit extreme.
In the UK, hate crimes can mean a prison sentence.
Few examples. Last year a man was arrested and sent to prison for making a racist remark to Marcus Rashford on Twitter.
More recently, a man was arrested for sharing a photo on Twitter that changed the pride flag into a Nazi swastika.
The only way to beat hate and bigotry is to make hate speech and bigotry illegal. Same with misogyny. Make it illegal and it'll stop.

So... is the UK making misandry a crime too, or?
What a f*cking joke. Good luck, uk bros.

I'll be blunt honest. My dad was a workaholic and an alcoholic, and I learned more about being a man from JL Picard and TNG than I did from my dad. You take what you can get. But your point stands, Tate is no role model.

Meta said it had removed the kickboxing star from its platforms for violating its policies on dangerous organisations and individuals but did not provide further details.
Meta/Facebook has seemed more permissive than other platforms when it comes to these considerations in the past.
Antifeminists do regularly exhibit indications of dangerous behavior by voicing a desire to degrade and hurt women. The fixation with abusing women is so intense that there doesn't appear to be much else to their worldview.
The statement from Meta reads that perhaps there was some organized threat developing that they can't speak on.

I was watching an interview of Peterson's daughter and she's like this is what he's like in the house. This is our dinner talk and I legit laughed out loud because it was clear to me that his own kids cant stand him but hes become a father figure to so many.

Do you really not see the problem with making laws and charging people with crimes based on subjective qualifications?
Don't drive drunk. What is drunk? When you blow into this thing and it's scientifically proven you have a blood alcohol level over a specific amount.
Don't kill anyone. How about self defense? That is allowed, and depending on if we can prove in a court of law that your actions were premeditated or happened in the moment, there are also various levels to a murder charge.
Don't steal anything. How does that work? Well if you have something and the rightful owner can prove that it belonged to them, we charge you with a crime.
In the examples above, we have a scientific test, a body, and a physical object. All objectively proven crimes. Where is the objective proof in an accusation of racism or sexism? Slurs are easy. You can make a list of words that people are not to use, but banning specific words is never something that can stop hate. Arresting people for hate isn't going to do much either except create resentment and anger, which are two of the fundamental building blocks of hate.

Working in the UK. The guy who was arrested and sent to prison for making a racist remark against Marcus Rashford isn't going to do it again. It sent a clear message that any racist language won't be tolerated in the UK.
Apply this to other forms of bigotry and you stop hate.

Who decides what's misogynist? Seems like an authoritarian slippery slope to me.

Nope.
You just use different words or language. What happens then? I can call you potato rather than a racist slur, I can find a workaround.
Banning does not fix problems and actually makes it worse in the long run. Talking, listening and educating people is far better.
It is an lazy route to claim we are helping society, emotionally reactive is not how we should respond.
A kid got warned for repeating rap lyrics, it's stupid because you ignore all context.

To this I'd ask what was the racist remark, what about it specifically made it hate speech, and what is the smallest amount of change you could make to the remark where it would no longer fit the UK's legal definition of hate speech? If you can't answer these questions, you have subjective laws without clear definitions that will be selectively enforced.
