Or they'll all fall down the Andrew "Sex Trafficker" Tate pipeline instead.

He's not special. Run of the mill pimp.

I didn't say he was special, just that his type has an outsized influence on young men.

[–] VubDapple 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's correct. Please accept my apology if it seemed I was suggesting otherwise.

All good, I did misinterprete what you were trying to add :)

im sorry sex trafficking isn't special?

[–] VubDapple 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ugh, in no way am I trying to suggest this is a good man doing acceptable things. I'm trying to suggest he is a bad man doing exploitive things AND that there are many like him that perhaps are less skillful with social media.

yeah, and i don't think that makes it or him "normal" either. He's an exceptionally terrible human being. That has managed to be the kingpin of an entire attention economy for years now.

In some regards he is special That's why Romania is putting him through the ringer, it's why the extradition might actually happen.

Ok fine, he's a special pimp.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

that's one of the ways of phrasing that statement
