Controversial kickboxer turned YouTube celebrity Andrew Tate is currently detained in Romania along with his brother Tristan on suspicions of rape and human trafficking.
However, the self-proclaimed misogynist, to this date, continues to be a role model for a large section of vulnerable young men. Tate has amassed his massive social media following by selling a brand of extremely toxic masculinity which is seemingly appealing to a large number of men.
'Top G' recently uploaded a clip on Twitter from an old interview where he addressed 'men's mental health'. As per Tate, men have an innate desire for 'adventure and conquest', which, if left uncatered for, leads to mental depression. 'Cobra' said:
"There's a rebel inside of every man and man have an innate desire for adventure and conquest to a degree. And they are told to sign up to this cu*k life where you just go to school, go to university, just sit there, don't say what you really think. Accept the slave programming."

He continued:
"Get a marriage which is sexless and boring. Sit there, corporate job, pay your taxes, kids don't respect you and it's just f***ing depressing... Look, you're not gonna feel good as man unless you're conquering something, unless you develop some degree of exceptionalism."
