Joseph McBride is exactly the type of douche canoe I expected to represent those two degenerate assholes. Also, "a shopping spree in the Liz Claiborne section of a JC Penney in a half-dead mall" for the win.
I see people in the comments dislike the gendered funmaking of Andy and Trissy. Yes, how terrible it is when someone uses stereotypes and makes fun of one’s clothing or appearance by, say, calling them “whores” or “bitches”. This is highly undignified for a serious conversation about… (checks notes) …two pimps who made their big money by teaching losers how to pimp women. Yep. Very undignified.
You can point out they're surprisingly unmanly for such male icons of dudebro machoness. What I don't like is using feminine as an insult. You don't need to use feminine as an insult to successfully mock their clothing or appearance.
I've seen otherwise generally unattractive men make themselves look pretty by doing their nails in an artistically expressive way, and I don't want to read anything that mocks that kind of behaviour. Let these perfectly nice men that have nothing to do with the Tate brothers have their make-up, why do you want to take that away from them by implying that the Tate brothers' problems are caused by their more feminine style choices? It's guilt by association aimed at entirely innocent people and I don't like it.
I'm with you. See also using fat as a pejorative when someone is disliked.
Really makes the fat or femme people on our side know their place. People are just waiting to ridicule those characteristics when they get the chance, is what it seems like. It's gross.
I don't think it is ill will or comes from a bad heart, it's just leftover remnants from the cultures we grew up in. I do think we should keep pointing it out when we see it.
It’s not me or other commenters saying feminine coded clothes or makeup is an insult. It’s the Tate brothers saying that. In the TikTok and YouTube and X feeds of our CHILDREN. I was attempting to point out their hypocrisy. Probably I did a clumsy job of it and I’m sorry for that.
I love your example in the second paragraph, but it’s the incessant Tate-led attack on men leading the charge there more than comments like mine. If you look at the picture, Tristan is modelling the stereotypical masculine look - power suit. He is on brand with what they are dishing out. Whereas Andrew is dressed more in tune with how someone who is comfortable with their masculinity might dress, which is to say more feminine coded. Yet he spews messages against feminine behaviour. It’s that hypocrisy that commenters are reacting to more than anything else.
Being feminine is not an insult. When a man who makes a whole persona out of gendered insults, and tries to influence a new generation of boys to do the same, is photographed wearing what definitely appears to be women’s clothing?
Well, that’s fun.
It’s like the David Chappell skit where he plays the blind black Klu Klux Klan member.
Exactly, yet your "Trissy" nickname is based on the cultural assumption that femininity is weak and soft. You can call him not a manly man without calling him a diminutive/feminized nickname you know. A sarcastic "how manly of this manly man to wear the exact same outfit as my grandmother" is on an entirely different level than "what a sissy this miss Trissy is".
Trissy, like Andy, was more of an attempt to infantilize than feminize. Diminutive names both male and female often use an end y sound and are used in childhood.
Tate calls himself a manly man. Pointing out that his words don't match his actions is not a problem. It's only a problem if you imply that being feminine makes you less valuable, weak, or morally suspect. And that wasn't done anywhere in this article or it's title.
I subscribe to the New Yorker and could try to share the article about the Tate brothers. We could use it as a discussion/book club idea, it is that good.
If other inmates confined within the area of the jail where the Tate brothers are incarcerated decided to vindicate sexual crimes committed against their mother, sisters or girlfriends by shutting these conceited pricks down violently once and for all I know that THIS rape survivor would take considerable satisfaction from their injury and down and dirty prison demise.
“We are confident that once a competent judge sees the facts, and once the Department of Justice confronts this egregious abuse of its own authority, Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free." Which is why they fled jurisdiction instead of putting the charges to rest in that lawless and uncivilized country *checks notes* England.
Yeah, "this is all a witch hunt" is a little rich.
Wonder what witty words Greta Thunberg would tweet now?
Is he wearing dog tags on a string of pearls? WTF
Andrew Tate is no Harry Styles.

To each his own, but man, his outfits make my eyeballs itch.
Chico’s and Tuesday Morning report elevated sales this quarter.
Dress Barn has entered the chat.
They look like they haven't smiled in decades, not a true smile.
I want to see the footage of Goldcoat Minion™ removing his necklaces set to Yackety Sax.

I’ll venture DoucheMaxxing.

I like that.
I admire both your compassion for why people reach for those hurtful phrases, and your resolve to keep speaking up. I take heart from both!

Disappointed that you would use trite gendered clothing stereotypes as the headline for a rapist and misogynist. You are not helping.

💯
So just realized Tate has man-boobs and weirdly chubby thighs, that he apparently thinks is sexy! OMG.
Manboobs are a common side effect of too much testosterone.
Hay, you guyzes! New Halloween costume just dropped!
At first I saw his man capris as pants tucked into Duck boots. The boot shafts are the same color as his man shins.
His pec implants will be a big hit with the bois.

I understand but do not agree. Still, if it happens I won't feel bad for long, probably less than two seconds.
sorry you had to go through that.
