BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate's recent statements regarding the LGBTQIA+ community have caused significant uproar among social media users. The controversy revolves around his comments on a character from the movie, 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem', in which a character was revealed to be gay. Tate referred to the revelation as "poison." Tate has consistently portrayed the LGBTQIA+ community as a negative influence on the younger generation.
What further confuses his stance was the fact that Tate's fans have noticed instances where he appeared to support the LGBTQIA+ community in peculiar ways. For instance, he has made references to his preferred pronouns, opting for 'Xe/Xim' in his Twitter bio, which is in contrast of his otherwise contentious attitude towards the community. This has left many perplexed about his true feelings toward the community.
'They must hijack hosts'
In his tweet, Tate shared a post by user Keem, wherein it was revealed that the 'TMNT' character Sprinkler's sexual orientation was depicted as gay. Following this disclosure, Tate expressed his opinion, suggesting that the creators deliberately made the character gay to influence children to adopt the LGBTQIA+ worldview. He voiced concerns that this portrayal was an attempt to "poison" the minds of straight people's children, ultimately shaping a new generation of individuals supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Tate wrote, "To poison straight peoples children into supporting their world view for a new generation of LGBT. They can not create their own children via hetrosexual reproduction, so must hijack hosts. Like alien."
'Infection of wokeism'
Following Tate's controversial opinion and his attack on the LGBTQIA+ community, a significant number of individuals took to the platform to voice their thoughts. One user wrote, "Nothing is safe from the infection of wokeism." Another user wrote, "Jeez. This dude living in 1954." A user stated, "Worlds f****d." Another user commented, "This is to normalize it for kids growing up so they think it’s okay because it’s on a kids tv show . absolutely disgusting."
