I would be happier if figures like him weren't influential as well.
Why give this clown a spotlight?
Providing counter-narratives based in truth of chauvinists or toxic figures in general can provide a path for those, especially younger viewers, to find a way out of the pipeline. It's the whole idea of hijacking the algorithm that has been and is used to deconvert impressionable young men from alt-right, red pill, or manosphere online communities.
This isn't a Tate video, it's a video that is critical of him. It's useful if someone in your life is caught up with Tate, because you're not only aware of what content they've been consuming, but what some key logical fallacies of it are, if you ever engage them.
It’s still giving him publicity. Pricks like him need to be forgotten. It’s the best way to fix the issue of toxic assholes.
