BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate recently responded strongly to a journalist's comment about Sam Smith's mini-skirt look. The journalist's description of the outfit as "sensational" seems to have provoked Tate due to his strong beliefs against men wearing feminine clothing. By labeling the journalist as "evil", Tate is expressing his disapproval of any support for gender-nonconforming fashion choices.
Tate's self-proclaimed identity as an advocate of masculinity has come under scrutiny many times. While he might portray himself as a champion of traditional masculinity, a significant portion of social media users sees his views and ideals as toxic and harmful. Tate's controversial statements have been accused of being misogynistic, implying a disdain for women, or perpetuating harmful stereotypes about them. Moreover, some of his remarks have been perceived as promoting rape culture, which normalizes or trivializes sexual violence. As a result of these controversial stances, Tate has faced widespread criticism and condemnation from the general public, except for his devoted fans who staunchly support him without question.
'These are the people who say I am evil'
Smith, the English singer has been causing quite the commotion recently, confidently striding beyond the boundaries of conventionality and embracing their non-binary identity. And once again, the spotlight found them in the bustling streets of New York City, draped in a dazzling white mini-skirt, accompanied by their rumored partner, Christian Cowan. The news of this style spectacle spread like wildfire, with a journalist from a renowned US-based outlet eagerly penning an article about Smith's fashion forward choice. The journalist wrote, "Sam Smith looks sensational in cool white mini-skirt on walk through New York with rumoured boyfriend."
The news article didn't escape the attention of the bold and provocative influencer. Andrew Tate wasted no time in unleashing a vehement critique of the journalist's choice of words when covering Smith's fashion. Taking to Twitter, the fearless 'Cobra' not only rebuked the individual journalist but also took a jab at other media outlets that have a penchant for linking his name with controversial topics. Tate wrote, "These are the people who say I am evil."
'This is haram'
Tate's impassioned criticism of the journalist's praise for Smith's daring fashion choices ignited a fiery discussion on Twitter, with users flocking to the platform to share their perspectives on his remarks. A user wrote, "This is haram!" Another user said, "Which way western man. Overweight bearded man in a dress or chiselled man in a well tailored suit?" Another tweet read, "Looks sensational? I don't think we're observing the same person." But a few others disagreed with Tate, with one user saying, "Ah yes, a man wearing a skirt is evil. It affects your life so terribly."
