Andrew Tate, the self-proclaimed misogynist influencer, faced widespread ridicule online after asserting that it’s “gay” for men to engage in sex with women for pleasure, contending that sex is solely for procreation purposes.

In a post on X, the 37-year-old, currently detained in Romania awaiting trial on r*pe and human trafficking charges, boldly stated, “Sex is for making children. Any man who has sex with women because it ‘feels good’ is gay.” He further emphasised that men who haven’t fathered at least five children by the age of 40 are likely homosexual, questioning their genetic legacy.

Unsurprisingly, Tate’s provocative statement elicited a flurry of mockery from his followers. Some humorously suggested that Tate was hinting at his own sexual orientation, while others poked fun at his age and reproductive record. One commenter sarcastically remarked, “Remind me how many kids you have again, sweetie?”

Amidst the laughter, some users urged Tate to delete his account, while others speculated that his post was merely a ploy for attention. Tate himself responded to one comment with a laughing emoji, seemingly acknowledging the absurdity of the situation.

However, Tate’s controversial remarks came on the heels of his recent condemnation of men as “losers” due to perceived declines in birth rates among white people. In a previous post, he expressed concern that the genetic potential of white men was being undermined and warned of their eventual replacement if they didn’t procreate.

It’s worth noting that Tate’s online antics occur against the backdrop of pending legal proceedings. Once his trial in Romania concludes, he faces extradition to the United Kingdom to address separate sex-related charges. Throughout, Tate has maintained his innocence.

In the whirlwind of controversy, Tate’s outlandish statements continue to spark debate and disbelief, underscoring the volatile nature of his online presence.
