Thank you for bringing increased visibility to this. I have blocked Tate and reported him to Substack several times. This is totally unconscionable. I wish there were a way we could band together to really get Substack to do the right thing and forbid Tate from having any sort of platform here. Substack’s allowance of him on this site is beyond heinous and dangerous.
While we're on the topic of hosting bad people, Andrew is why I can't listen to Liz's podcast. He was great until he blew up half a dozen other podcasts with sexual misbehavior behind the scenes so egregious an entire organization had to be set up do mitigate issues between creators and audience members. This is before L&C formed when Thomas Smith got OA back.
It's not TRIVIAL to migrate to something like Ghost, but if you wanted, I could help. I'm a computer person, and there are other computer persons here!
So yesterday, inspired by Robyn's writing, I sent a complaint to Substack about their hosting of the cretin Andrew Tate. In return, over the last 24 hours or so, I received nine copies of the same email:
"Thanks for taking the time to report content on Substack. We take potential Content Guidelines violations seriously, and look into every report to ensure Substack stays in line with our Terms of Use. Thanks for all you do to make Substack the home for great culture."
I expect more will be arriving.
Thanks, Substack, for doing absolutely nothing. I'll remember that when it comes time to pay for any of your services.
I am able to leave Substack for another platform for my little weekly posts - and I have shifted my subscription to you from here to Patreon. I just can't with that asshole... and I maybe should have left when the nazis showed up, but here we are.

Blocked him as soon as I heard. I do not want to see anything from a demon like him.

The only person who would think this chinless cooze is an alpha is the meth addicted twink with its dick in his ass

This makes my stomach turn.
I’m also thinking about how ideas like this ripple outward — not just in relationships, but in how children learn what’s normal.
That part feels especially heavy.
Trump gets away with his crimes. Tate gets away with his crimes. One is protecting the other. This is allowed in America in 2026.

And no, I'm not mischaracterizing the situation, for anybody who may still have any loyalties to the guy.
It's bad when substack allows shitheads on the platform on alongside the real people. It's another when we let them inside the house ourselves.
I wld vote for them to be off. We don’t need haters.
