Some 28 per cent of men between 30 and 39 who had heard of Mr Tate, a former kickboxing world champion turned “success coach”, back his outlook on women. Three in 10 men aged between 30 and 39 who were aware of him agreed with his views on masculinity and what being a man involves, while a quarter of men in the 18 to 29 age bracket backed Mr Tate on this.
Campaigners told The Independent the influencer is a “legitimising force” for misogynistic ideas and his luxurious lifestyle is “a dangerous mask” for “violent and misogynistic content”, which is “drip-fed” to his audience.
Pollsters, who surveyed more than 2,000 people in Britain, discovered 93 per cent of 18- to 29-year-old men had heard of Mr Tate, while 86 per cent of men aged between 30 and 39 knew of him. Mr Tate, who has more than 6 million Twitter followers, was arrested in Romania in late December alongside his brother Tristan Tate and two other suspects. They are accused of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.
