BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate, a figure of much controversy and division as an influencer, recently engaged in a question and answers session on the platform Rumble, accompanied by his brother Tristan Tate. Within this session, Tristan raised the topic of Instagram Threads, which elicited a vehement and enraged reaction from Andrew. This outburst can be attributed to Andrew's past actions leading to his banishment from mainstream social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, predominantly due to his widely criticized beliefs. Consequently, his disdain towards Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has intensified over time.
The notoriety of Andrew and Tristan stems from their frequent expression of views that exhibit misogyny, which has garnered significant attention and sparked heated debates within social media circles. Their remarks often touch on sensitive issues related to gender and provoke strong reactions from online communities. Consequently, they have found themselves at the center of various controversies, with their statements being widely criticized and condemned by many.
'Threads is gay!'
During the Q&A session on Rumble, Tristan raised the topic of Instagram Threads and asked Andrew if he believed it was a copy of Twitter. In response, Andrew expressed his strong disapproval by stating, "Threads is gay!" He further expressed his frustration with the issue of internet censorship, referring to Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter as a positive development that allowed people to freely express themselves online. Andrew criticized Mark Zuckerberg, whom he referred to as "Mr. Cancellation," for being the head of a company that banned them and others. He accused Zuckerberg of creating a subpar version of Twitter with excessive censorship, while people mindlessly signed up for it. Andrew questioned why anyone would willingly join a platform where their accounts could be deleted, expressing his disdain and suggesting that it was foolish to do so.
Tristan asked, "Andrew, do you think threads is a copy of Twitter?" To this Andrew replied, "THREADS IS GAY! Listen, we've heard about threads! People have been complaining about internet censorship. Elon comes along, King Elon, King Elon comes along, buys Twitter, gives everyone the chance to speak freely from the internet for the first time in modern history ever, and then Zuck comes along, Mr. Cancellation, the head of all fucking censorship, the first company that banned us along with everyone else's meta, he comes along and goes, I'm gonna copy Twitter, come over to a shit version of Twitter where you can get censored all the time, and everyone's just signing up! No honor! Elon saved you! Here's the, oh, his number one competitor's appeared, and I can't wait to go and get fucking my account deleted! What the fuck? Yeah. Why would you even sign up for that? How gay are you? I'm not running over to fucking C*ckland to get my account deleted."
