Andrew Tate: Icon or Toxic? A Faking It Special

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.

This show throughout is just narrative control they pick bits and pieces of interviews to dissect and ignore context. They just show the truth to how mainstream media can't accept a different way to live than what they want for you and society. Why is it that Andrew wants you to believe that you can be as successful as him but they want you to believe that he is selling a dream and that you will never be able to reach his level of success. BBC does fabricate stories and run with false evidence so it isn't wrong of Andrew to discredit them when they bring up "Sophie". I want to see something unbiased from legacy media on Andrew tate someday but that'll never happen because they want you to be a fat broke loser who let's women walk all over you they will always condemn and demonize someone like Andrew tate for pushing you to want better for yourself as a man and not be backed into a corner by threat of cancelation for saying and believing what you want.

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!

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!
