    Fun story: I used to be a Tristan Tate fan. Now, now, put down the pitchfork, I can explain. Back before these two blew up, I kinda knew who Andrew Tate was and the kind of content he made but had never actually watched anything he put out. One day, scrolling YouTube shorts, I was served a video of a guy saying shit so ridiculous that I couldn’t help but laugh. I then noticed his name was “Tristan Tate” and thought to myself “Oh, he must be a satire of that Andrew Tate guy I’ve heard about”. For the next several days, I watched almost every Tristan Tate short I was served — I couldn’t believe how fucking good he was at satire. Then I got served one where he talked about his brother and everything clicked in my head. I guess I’m grateful I never shared anything.
