Tate has a pretty sizeable following in the UK unfortunately. I also wouldn't really call Croydon inner city but that's by the by I appreciate people automatically fill in the gaps with what's at the forefront of their mind but having specific awareness of the culture and violence effecting places like Croydon, the thought of immediately going to pinpoint Andrew Tate is very reductive. Tate and the movement he represents is problematic & wife spread but it really has little to do with a teen wielding a 30cm Blade with the intention and willingness to casually use it. The optics of this being about men not being able to deal with rejection are likely missplaced but we need to await more info... It's violence (non gendered) which is rife in the area Edited September 28, 2023 by Otter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's violence (non gendered) which is rife in the area I don't think it's as simple as that though. The knife crime in London may be an issue but it's highly over exaggerated. This is a city with almost 9 million people. The vast majority of people are not witnessing stabbings on a regular basis. Most knife crime involves adults not children. This is the 15th teenage victim of homicide in London this year and notably the only female victim. I think given the specifics of this case, whilst not confirmed as of yet, the idea that this boy has been influenced by violent male influencers isn't that far fetched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveInStereo Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Horrible. That said, enough with the “it’s Andrew Tate”, “recent rise in x” fear mongering. Alex Minassian wrote a manifesto, took out a rented van in Toronto & drove into a crowd of people, purposefully murdering 11 victims in the name of being an incel. That was 2018. Only a really ignorant person is gonna act like violence against women is a new phenomenon, sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I need boys/young men to do better with rejection. Yes, its stings ur ego but don’t resort to violence or throwing tandrums bc you can’t control a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

favorite crime Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 5 hours ago, Anthinos said: You can't blame the parents 100% either. Parents can't control what videos their children watch or what they learn from other children/teenagers at school. The problem is the internet and how we as a society tolerate everything. It's a touchy topic but free speech needs limits. Hate speech needs to be defined and dealt with. These right wingers like Andrew Tate etc. are destroying our society. I'm extreme cases like this the parents are absolutely to blame as well. There's no way a teenager who was raised properly would do something like this simply because of online influences. Perhaps they weren't the ones telling him to act like this but they must have done something terribly wrong in raising him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theshigo Washidu Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 RIP Elliane. She aspired to be a lawyer once she was older and her mother had enrolled her into an all-girls private school so that she could achieve the best that she can and do well in life. All that has been taken away from her. It's really not far-fetched to think that the rise of Andrew Tate and his ilk doesn't play a factor in this incident. A lot of these young kids, particularly boys today are just built different and have no respect for women or girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Pop Queen Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) This type of **** makes me sick to my stomach. Females shouldn't have to live in constant fear of losing their lives over hurting a male's fragile ass ego. And he did this in front of people on a bus. Imagine how much more he would've done if they had been alone somewhere. He probably would've defiled her body after killing her. Put this boy under the jail and don't release him back into society because Lord knows what would happen if on down the line, some woman rejects a marriage proposal of his.

The knife crime is grossly exaggerated by the media and people who don’t even live here, it’s very rare for someone to get stabbed by a complete stranger. Even in this sad case the victim knew the attacker. It also depends on which borough and area you live in.

Tbh while Croydon might have the highest number of stabbings for any London Borough, when you take into the population size, Croydon only comes 10th for "knife crime per injury" incidents out of all the boroughs. It's only got such a bad reputation because it's got a much larger population than most other boroughs. There's good parts and bad parts like any place. Honestly North and South Croydon are like completely different areas. Edited September 29, 2023 by glitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
