I'm still not sure if they are guilty or not. Most likely they might be guilty of the "lover boy technique" as we call it, but I don't think that's illegal in US. (the lover boy is when a guy woos a woman, and promises her everything she could ever want, if only she does certain things for the scammer. In Tate's case, it would be doing video chat and porn).

@alyx that's not usually what people mean by human trafficking

@icedquinn That's why I'm not sure if they'd be considered guilty under US law. From the bits and pieces I've seen so far, I'm pretty sure what they did was the "lover boy" method. The women were technically free, they were doing things under their own volition, they had informed consent, etc. They were just stupid and maybe in love with the brothers to some degree.
Now excuse me while I vomit at the thought of someone being in love with Andrew Tate.

@alyx > Now excuse me while I vomit at the thought of someone being in love with Andrew Tate.

its not unheard of for media personalities to act radically different from their bit. business gives you the role that you get.

that being said i don't waste brain cycles on the man

@alyx a common note about orange man is that because he was in show business they assume the flamboyant bonehead is his media personality, because that's what was successful when he was on TV, and are always surprised that it's not a bit and he really is just a flamboyat bonehead at all hours. lmao.

I honestly think nobody would have given two shits about Tate if the deranged side of the media didn't suddenly try to villainize him out of nowhere. They just gave him more and more attention, and contrarians were more than happy to make a saint out of Tate just to annoy the media.

@alyx it's not out of nowhere its literally his branding to make people mad so they hatepost.

@icedquinn I guess, but it's still the media's fault for taking the bait. He was a nobody before they decided to make him the feminist anti-Christ. He fought in some kickboxing competition here, but who the fuck cares about a no-name league, of a low viewership sport, in an irrelevant country? You think that I knew his name before? Hell no. The media attacking him made him a common name. Gave him much more fame. An overcharged Straisand effect as far as I can tell.

@alyx i know his name because he was on AJ a couple of times but he didn't seem like an interesting person

@icedquinn You just reminded me, apparently AJ had an interview with Calin Georgescu, I should probably check to see what nonsense he's been saying.

@alyx dark journalist was on an episode there too. i watched some of his stuff (though he's mostly just a broken record about edgar cayce atlantis deep state ayys)
