The arrests of the online influencers known for their misogynistic views come after years of investigations in Britain and Romania. The new charges concern offenses dating back to 2010, officials said.

I know you seem to think this gives you some sort of “I only care about important things” cred, but you have to be ignorant of huge problems with our society to not know who they are, so maybe dial back the performance.
Proud ignorance as a moral high ground. A disease in itself
I read the news every day and haven’t a clue who these people are either.
I didn’t know who Tate was for a long time, and I wasn’t ashamed of that…
Much of my family don’t.
I love my Mom as an example. I cannot describe how much she hates misogynists… it’s almost comical. She hates them with her soul. She’ll throw them into a wall. She was a tentative Republican for a long time, but the instant she saw Donald Trump open his mouth on TV she went straight out and voted for Hillary Clinton and every Democrat she could find.
But she didn’t know who Andrew Tate was when I asked.
That’s fine. He’s an influencer for the chronically online, and I think people forget that.
Genuinely have no idea who they are. I couldn’t care less about the Internet fame bullshit, and have never understood why some people pay attention to any of them.
Do you pay attention to the actual news? The vast majority of reporting on the radicalisation of boys and young men to the far right in the past few years has mentioned Andrew Tate by name.
This is a news community. Seems fairly clear I pay attention to the news in general. As for news about social media personalities, no. I don’t care what someone on youtube or tiktok says. It’s weird to me that so many people seem to.
Not news about social media personalities, or what someone on youtube or tiktok says. Actual news about current events.

If I see something like “online influencer” I’m ignoring it. Because that would be news about social media personalities. I don’t give a fuck.
Incredibly stupid attitude. Do you think everyone who reads about fascism is interested in fascism? Eager to get the latest updates from how fascists are doing?
The manosphere crap is already affecting your life whether you’re aware of it or not. This is not celebrity gossip, it is the same hijacking of new media that 10 years ago put a reality TV host in the White House. Things aren’t relevant to you until they are very, very relevant to you.
I don’t give a fuck about social media “influencers” or the people who listen to them. If every one of them and every one of their viewers burned to death right now I think the world would be a better place. If you want to spend your life studying up on what folks are saying on internet streams, you go right ahead and do that.
You didn’t even understand what I wrote so maybe I’m being overly optimistic that you can understand secondary effects.
Then what are you even doing here in this thread?
Trying to be holier than thou, of course
You think caring about random asshats on social media is a prerequisite to reading and commenting on news?
