Newly Reinstated On Twitter, Andrew Tate Becomes Unlikely Hero Of #BalenciagaGate Among Some For Calling Out Other Celebrities
Following his readmittance onto Twitter after being banned from most social media earlier this year, Andrew Tate has not shied away from the contention that landed him in hot water only months before — only this time, he appears to have more sympathy from other users on the platform.
The reason for his revived spirit this time stems from his main target Balenciaga, which has been embroiled in a viral controversy since the unveiling of problematic ad campaigns and images that have led to allegations of grooming and other accusations on the site, and former celebrities who worked with the fashion brand, some of whom criticized Tate himself during his own bout with cancelation.

These were all posted by Balenciaga’s main stylist Lotta Volkova. How did we let these guys get away with this for so long? They are literally promoting their satanic acts in plain sight. Yet the powers that be fed us Ye and Kyrie and Andrew Tate to cancel and these roam free. pic.twitter.com/pyFyijTSxF

In one viral exchange, Tate directly responded to Kim Kardashian after she made a statement as a Balenciaga-endorsed model and influencer, saying she should have cut ties with the company completely.
This calling out of Balenciaga and its connection to Kardashian also caused people to look at the handling of Kanye West, believing that Balenciaga should be cast out and canceled similar to how Kanye was.

Wait, shouldn’t balenciaga have their bank accounts closed, get banned on social media, stores temporarily shut down, and all celebrities condemn them first?Or is that only for black artist and athletes?

If Balenciaga did something that offended the LGBT community, every celebrity would have cut ties instantly.They promoted child porn and nearly every celebrity is silent. Really makes you think, huh?

Not content with simply calling out Balenciaga for what he thinks is going on behind the scenes, Andrew Tate also proceeded to call out the media reporting of the Qatar World Cup that has had a lot of focus on it for the anti-LGBTQ+ stance and human right's violations perpetuated by the host country.
Endless main stream news coverage discussing the immorality of Qatar for enforcing their religious beliefs.But not a single coverage on the promotion of paedophilia by Balenciaga. No football teams protesting either?And the west dares to discuss morality.Satanists.

These comparisons are kind of stupid. It was obviously a really bad advertisment that seems to have been staged by a pretty edgy photographer, but it's pretty crazy to sincerely believe this was "promoting Satanism" or pedophilia or whatever. It was pretty much immediately pulled down and an apology was issued by the company.
This isn't like Kanye West getting cancelled being consistently antisemitic, and then just becoming more antisemitic as a result, or Qatar using borderline slave labour to build stadiums and infrastructure and then refusing to even address it and arresting people who try to speak up or report on it.
All of these accusations aren't really about hypocrisy. It's about people who just don't think the other cancellations or public outcries are actually bad at all. Notice that it's framed as "Qatar is just enforcing their religion", or "Andrew Tate was just telling the truth", or "Kanye/Kyrie were just black". If you think none of those did literally anything wrong at all and got cancelled, then obviously any kind of sin going unpunished looks like hypocrisy.

I feel like Andrew Tate shouldn't get any pity points for pointing out that sexual exploitation of children is a horrible thing. At that point, we're so morally low that even people like Tate can see how bad it is, pointing it out shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

"But not a single coverage on the promotion of paedophilia by Balenciaga."
I guess CNN, Fox News, and NBC news (and probably others – this was just the result of ten seconds on Google) don't count as mainstream news any more?

And why, pray tell, should a country force their religious beliefs on everyone else when they purport to host an international event ?

Some tone-deaf dumbfuck advert versus the collected horror that is Qatar's involvement in the World Cup.
If I didn't think Tate was running a grift, I'd say he was an idiot. As it is, I'm fairly certain he's just trying to play to a very specific audience.

Gimp suit teddy bears aimed at kids is creepy, but it doesn't compare to thousands of dead slaves used to build the infrastructure for the cup. The Qatar shit goes much deeper than "offending the alphabet crowd."
Also fuck Tate.
