The Project has called for content related to Andrew Tate (above) to be removed from the platform out of fear his misogynistic views are influencing young boys
In particular, they were concerned about how Tate’s content is influencing young teenage boys to hold derogatory views towards women.
‘Kids look at Instagram and TikTok and the idea of 11.6billion views as a success,’ Ms Corbett said.
‘That then says that those (misogynistic) views must be good because look at how famous (Tate) is so then I want to emulate that.
‘It’s just really dangerous and I feel like TikTok has a responsibility to remove misogynistic posts.’
Abbie Chatfield (above) pointed out that one of her videos was removed by TikTok because she was wearing a ‘white singlet’ but ‘there’s endless videos of (Tate) saying that women are property and other extremely, vilely misogynistic things’
Chatfield compared how TikTok applies its community guidelines to Tate’s content versus her own.
‘I uploaded a TikTok in a white singlet, with a bra on, and it got deleted in a minute,’ she said.
‘But there’s endless videos of him saying that women are property and other extremely, vilely misogynistic things. How does that slip through the cracks but me in a singlet can’t?’
Andrew Tate, who was born in Chicago but raised in Bedfordshire, has blown up on TikTok in the last three months as ‘the king of toxic masculinity’.
His content which demotes women as ‘property’ and encourages boys to live a ‘hustler lifestyle’ has seen a wave of young teenage boys associate his fame and wealth with the mistreatment of women.
The Project found after just a few hours on TikTok over half of a teenage boy’s content will be related to Andrew Tate.
As well as hundreds of fan accounts sharing his content on TikTok, Tate encourages young boys to emulate his mentality through his ‘Hustler’s University’ which promises get-rich-quick schemes using cryptocurrency, property or e-commerce.
