In a post on Facebook on Tuesday (6 August) which was also cross-posted to X/Twitter, someone named Rob Anderson shared a photo of Tate in what appeared to be a pair of Speedos, also nicknamed budgie smugglers in Australia, and zoomed-in close on his crotch area.

“I guess she forgot to wear her fake,” Anderson captioned the photos, alongside an aubergine emoji, misgendering Tate – who identifies as a cisgender man – and implying that there was no male genitalia present, thus making the controversial figure trans.

Anderson also said Tate was among a number of people who are notable for being “part of the inverted show”.

Several of Anderson’s followers commented that they believed in the conspiracy too, with only a number of people pushing back, leading Anderson to say: “Don’t like what I post, think it’s crazy, get off my page. I don’t care, it’s the truth.”

Anderson further claimed that Tate is transgender in order to “blaspheme the Father”, referring to God.

...

When asked if he supports transgender people, Tate said he “supports individual liberty” because he is “a libertarian”.

However, he has also said that YouTuber Mr Beast and trans influencer Kris Tyson were part of a “psyop” to normalise transgender people among children.

They are coming for your children, everybody at home. Your children are the future which they want to control,” he claimed.

Tate is also a self-proclaimed misogynist and claims to be the “pinnacle of masculinity.”

This is all very confusing and I have now looked at a photo of Tate in his Speedos, which I wasn't expecting to do this evening. So now I am making you do it too.

Ha ha, yeah, I'll pass.

Edit: Never mind, someone posted the picture directly and I couldn't avoid it. Gross, but yeah, he doesn't have much business to hide down there, does he? Is that why he's accused of raping and trafficking minors, because he's angry...?

Never mind, someone posted the picture directly

That's not the original photo.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 78 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Welp, so much for the so-called pinnacle of masculinity.

I think I can see the outline of a ball. Maybe he's just got a wee little baby dick.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

Definitely looks like a camel toe to me.

I'm a small man, and I got far more bump than that. Maybe the fruitcakes are onto something?!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The dress picture showed that people on the Internet are 100% confident in their ability to interpret a picture despite being wrong. I see we've learned nothing from that

Lmfao Same here, and I'm not even built like that. I think we're catching onto him.

I honestly don't care if it's that he was not born male, or a micro penis, or "it was cold". None of it excuses him pushing/living such toxic masculinity. Over compensating is no excuse.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Obviously not. It's just funny to see those people turning against each other.

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 11 points 3 months ago (18 children)

It's still unpleasant intolerance, so not funny. Not suddenly ok because the target is normally the assailant on this front.

He was in the pool! There was shrinkage!

The actual thing

While it's haha funny I really don't want to see this dude's junk 50 times today.

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

What do your elvish eyes see? Looks like a Ken doll to me.

Heh. That rhymed.

I say leave the little guy alone before he exposes himself online.

Could you imagine if he was trans though? His fans would have an existential crisis.

This is so dumb. Everyone has know for years he gives off micro dick energy. It’s clearly a tuck job. Give Micro-dong a break already.

[–] lisquid420@lemm.ee 34 points 3 months ago

why are they so obsessed with genitals lmaoooooooo

[–] Iapar 27 points 3 months ago

I sometimes say to people "life is a joke that most people don't get". And stuff like this is what I mean with that.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The man's tuck game is on point. Could the Tate saga be the ultimate story of a man fighting the gay demons inside so hard that he does international crimes?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can't wait for the anime!

If Andrew Tate was a Persona character his dungeon would be something else.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 7 points 3 months ago

That would make a lot of sense. Let's Hope his journey if self-discovery speeds up a bit so we can all get out if this regrettable stage.

[–] ReCursing@lemmings.world 26 points 3 months ago

I mean... transvestigators are obviously batshit, but this is legit hilarious!

[–] mustbe3to20signs 24 points 3 months ago

Yes, please turn against each other

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Serves him right for doing that same thing to others.

who needed a speedo pic, i could've told you any guy who talks like he does is trying to compensate.

I know you need another...

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He's either trans, or he has a micro penis and baby balls. I don't think either choice looks good for him and this toxic masculinity image.. Edit: Alternatively his ballsack is so saggy he can just tuck it all the way to his back.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Saw several micropenis claims. I'll tell you how this actually goes down.

There's two cavities above your junk and along your pelvis called the inguinal canals and you can actually push your balls up into those canals, which helps obscure them. The penis itself is floppy enough a material at that point that it can completely blend in. Tate's Tuck game is just decent.

First, eeeww

Second, my guess would be a PS or just a weird angle, given the og poster seems to have their own issues.
