I find Tate to be unremarkable, to me, he seems like the usual degenerate pickup artist scamming desperate young men, what's more, remarkable than Tate himself is the Moral Panic that's come from his rise and growth in popularity (which, as all moral panics do, just increased his prevalence).
He's not that smart, he's pretty fucking ugly, he has a massive fucking ego and he is unbearable to be around, only tolerated by orbiters who want to leach off his wealth and fame. He's a glorified pimp who realised that he could scam retarded men and desperate Teens by acting like he's some big-shot resistance leader or some wise sage who can lead them to an enlightened state of wealth, intelligence and bitch having.
There are two possibilities here, Tate is actually a human trafficker and involved in the Mafia, gets thrown in a Romanian prison and fades into obscurity in a few months. Or, (Much more likely) his relationship is tangential (Women in the sex industry are usually prior victims of sex crime/human trafficking) and he had to pay into a protection racket or some shit, exposing himself as a fraud and as a cuck to the Mafia, embarrassing himself in front of millions of people and damaging his prestige and business.
The moral panic has, obviously, just increased his popularity, because when someone is marketing themselves as a bold outsider standing up against a cabal against men, targeting him for being "topically masculine" and "Sexist" isn't exactly going to stop people interested from joining his cult.
Either way, he's one of the few cows I somewhat keep up with, probably because I've met people in real life who know about him and not just mentally ill internet people, meaning I can have normal conversations about him.
