Andrew Tate: Icon or Toxic? A Faking It Special

Let me say this upfront. Andrew Tate may be a garbage man, but this is not ilegal in Romania. I am Romanian and i know a little bit more about the government agencies and how they operate framing everyone that is a not willing to play ball. Andrew Tate has been arrested 2 times in Romania, each of them very scandalous and in heavy rotation on our corrupt TV stations. But what nobody is telling, is that those 2 arrest were perfectly synced with 2 huge government scandals, and then they put this on TV to distract the attention with Andrew Tate. Latest one is that because our hospitals are short of supplies and medicine (like we are at war or something) doctors are advising to not give the needed drugs to the sick people and people have started dying in hospitals for nothing. Not one, not 2, but 30 of then. What is happening 4 days after this blows up??? Tates are getting arrested and their house raided. His fancy cars are flashing on news and people have forgotten about people dying in hospitals.

Returning to this hit piece, called "documentary" is some garbage movie, that focuses on nothing else, just on Andrew Tate intonation or muscle twitches that are presented like 100% facts and proofs that he is lying. No facts are presented, not a single word about the garbage prosecution case done by our prosecutors (they put witnesses that were favorable to Tate brothers, as victims in that investigation, pure incompetence). All the movie is about muscle twitches and and intonation interpretation....

BBC interview (i saw that all, not just cuts taken out of context) is another garbage. That reporter was unprepared, completely out of her league, and she bite the dust in front of such a formidable adversary. The movie implies that Tate was aggressive with her, that's why she was stupid, but doesn't present the weird, loaded questions she was asking. Stay away of this movie ..is something awful.

3 minutes into the documentary they play a 3 second clip while zooming in on his face and analyzing him blinking his eyes.

Having seen the actual 40 minute version of the unedited interview (not the 12 minute ms media version) with the bbc I knew what kind of framed perspective this so called "documentary" is going to bring. They start by saying he was watching the camera and not the interviewer Lucy which is factually a lie. Lucy arrived unprepared to this interview and was very rude even refusing to shake Andrews hand afterwards. Even if you don't agree with someone you should be able to say "Thank you" and shake hands. Very embarrassing interview by the BBC and hope the make an analysis of the interviewer the same way they did in this documentary.

Absolute piece of garbage and hope the gents can leave this nonsense behind them!

There is so much you could say about this man but they mainly focus on the few bits that made him well known. Such as his boxing career, how he gained his wealth, the various allegations against him and how he leveraged social media to his advantage. They focus on 1 interview and bring in 2 behavior analysts to explain his phrasing and body language. This shows a lot about how reactionary he is. The parts talking about Tate's body language were the most interesting for me.

It's an interesting watch especially for anyone who wants to learn about narcissistic personality disorder and how it affects others.

Some are quick to call this a hit piece on him but it's more than that. It shows it's evidence and shows as much context as it can in its time frame. There are countless other videos you can find online about him but this is the first time I've seen a breakdown like this.

Spend way too much time on some pseudu-scientific interpretation of what his body language and facial expressions tells us (yes, they can be indications, but they are presented as indisputable facts).

Should have contained more clips showing his ramblings, and dived deeper into the consequences for the young, impressionable boys that have been eating his BS.

I can see that this is a part of a series called "A Faking It Special", and it seem just what this documentary is: Faking it. A low effort cookie cutter documentary, consisting of very little actual content, fluffed up with irrelevant commentary and opinions.

Stupid title. He's obviously both toxic and an icon for other toxic people.

I see people complaining here about too much time spent on analizing body language. Let me tell you that with toxic people that's exactly what you should do. Since they already have skills to seduce, disguise their intentions and mimic human "normal"behavior , yes pay attention to body language, especially incongruences between what they say and how they say it. Psychopats are good at this, also being insane, they often really believe what they lie, but the body doesn't lie.

That being said, I hope that the two predators move out of Romania soon. It didn't prove to be the criminal heaven they hoped for, so maybe get lost to where you came from, lover boys!
