Fever dream or nightmare? Probably both.
On the Disruptors podcast, two of the most controversial internet figures of our time come together: Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed alpha male influencer who is currently facing charges for human trafficking and multiple counts of rape, and Bonnie Blue, known for her extreme sex–challenges, most notably for sleeping with 1000 men within 24 hours.
Andrew Tate: Misogyny, Male Supremacy, And Criminal Charges
Andrew Tate is not just known for his hateful views on women. He is also facing serious criminal charges. In Romania, he is on trial for human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and multiple counts of rape. In the United Kingdom, he is accused of rape and physical assault as well.
Still, or maybe because of that, he continues to present himself as a role model for young men who see him as a symbol of power and control. According to Tate, the real problem is not violence, but feminism and what he calls the Western lifestyle, where women are too independent. He promotes a traditional gender dynamic where the man has complete control and the woman is expected to fully submit. He rejects any form of female independence, whether it is about sexuality, work, or simply living life freely. According to him, men should be dominant, emotionless, and focused on money, status, control and degrading women. If a man has any kind of empathy he is labeled as "a loser", "a beta male" or "too Westernized".
Bonnie Blue Knows How To Keep People Talking
Bonnie Blue relies on extreme strategies. She became known for her sex challenges, including the challenge where she slept with 1000 men in 24 hours. On the podcast, she said among other things that she “would have even f****d Hitler to survive,” a statement that is not only tasteless but also trivializes violence and distorts history.
She presents herself as a performer, but what she actually promotes is not empowerment. It is self–promotion at the expense of responsibility. She portrays herself as a sex object that men can access freely. According to her, that is exactly how women should live. The role of the woman is completely objectified and dehumanized, and male approval is all that matters.
Two People, One Goal: Maximum Attention
At first glance, Andrew Tate and Bonnie Blue might seem like an absurd pairing. But their appearance together on Rob Moore’s podcast makes a disturbing amount of sense. Both are known for pushing boundaries, creating outrage, and using shock value as a strategy, as long as it brings attention and money. Neither takes any responsibility for the impact they have. During the conversation, Tate praises Bonnie Blue, saying, “You are the perfect end result of feminism in the world. In a conservative, traditionally masculine-ruled society, a man would be in charge of his daughters until they are handed over to their husbands or boyfriends, but feminism did not want that.”
The Real Consequences
Tate has played a major role in shaping the incel movement, which has grown rapidly in recent years. Because of him, countless men feel encouraged to openly spread misogynistic beliefs. There are now entire groups of influencers who publicly promote these views and reach millions of people with them.
In Tate’s worldview, a woman must fully submit to a man. She is expected to serve him, cover herself, never talk back, and always be available. The man, on the other hand, is allowed to do whatever he wants, both inside and outside the relationship. He can have multiple sexual partners, while the woman is supposed to stay at home, cook, and obey him. This kind of content is shaping a generation of young men who are exposed to it constantly on social media and are beginning to see these ideas as normal.
Bonnie Blue contributes to the same dynamic in her own way. Through the way she presents herself, she sends the message to young women that dehumanization is a form of validation. She has made several statements that are not just problematic, but dangerous, such as saying women should not be surprised if their boyfriends/husbands cheat on them when they deny them sex. According to her, it is a woman’s duty to be sexually available to a man at all times. With that, she normalizes dehumanization and undermines the idea of female autonomy.
This is damaging for young girls who see content like this and start to believe they have to define themselves through sexuality and submission. And it is just as harmful for young boys who grow up thinking they are entitled to control and power over women.
