The BBC have just interviewed Andrew Tate... The BBC interviewer is appallingly bad and she storms out at the end lol. Even if you hate Tate and the BBC, please take the time to watch it as it raises some interesting points about narratives, and who is actually creating them.
Take at look at the unbiased BBC in action lol: Unedited (non BBC) 39 minutes version
Funnily enough, the BBC version is just 9 minutes long (when you take out intro/credit), no guessing why lol: BBC edited version
He is arrogant as hell, but let's face it, that is part of the act. It was actually quite interesting and he made some good points. We have all seen the 10 second clips of him saying outrageous things, but how many of us have watched the 3 hour long form interviews that the "outrageous" parts were taken from? The BBC interviewer obviously hasn't and she kept refusing to say if she had or not, and used his jokes as evidence because she didn't have any context.
It did make me wonder, are we judging people on how a 3rd party portrays them via short clips, memes, media articles or on what they actually have to say? This interviewer kept attacking him by saying teachers, the police and victim groups are blaming him personally for an increase in misogyny. Are they too basing these claims on edited clips / memes that Tate has no control over?
