I could've sworn that film was about a bunch of galpals including Dolly Parton and Tinkerbell from Hook, how tf does Tom Cruise's character fit in to all that?

Mock I think you might be misunderstanding the use of the word "radical" to mean extreme, what you're describing sounds more like feminist extremism. Which does exist, I'm sure, but to suggest that it's concerning or pervasive in a similar way to Tate-style Redpill ideology is just really not accurate.

I would however note that it's dangerous to think of Andrew Tate as the cause. He's not the cause, he's a symptom - an opportunistic parasite who has fed on this culture for his own gain. It's a culture that was festering away on Reddit/4chan etc. when Tate was still in school getting bullied for not having any discernable chin.

e.g. I find the movie "Magnolia" (1999) fascinating these days, as Tom Cruise's character is a man doing EXACTLY the same thing as Tate (in a very pre-internet way). Andrew Tate was 13 in 1999.

Don't get me started on the Amazon Prime ads :fist:. There isn't even a tiered system where you can pay more to remove them! I'd pay more! But they won't let me, they're just like "nah you have to have ads".
