Andrew Tate's Gay Comments Slammed: 'Satire is Dead'

A podcaster has poked fun at Andrew Tate for saying men are gay if they enjoy sex with women.

"Satire is dead," declared Matt Bernstein in a post on Instagram after reading Tate's opinions on procreation.

Influencer Tate, 37, who is currently in Romania awaiting criminal trial on charges of rape and human trafficking charges, took to X, formerly Twitter to share his thoughts on childless men. Once his trial is concluded in Romania he will be extradited to the United Kingdom to face further charges of rape. He has denied all charges.

"Sex is for making children. Any man who has sex with women because it 'feels good' is gay. Oh my pee pee feels good this is great!" began in his post.

"In fact if you are 40 with less than 5 children you're probably gay. All that feel-good pee pee sex and hardly any genetic legacy?" Tate concluded.

Bernstein then took to his own social media to mock Tate's views.

"The gap between satire and reality has been closed. we did it 💕," he wrote on a post that has been viewed 1 million times.

In the video Bernstein added: "I knew we'd get there eventually. It is gay to be straight," he began and read out Tate's post on X.

"Satire is dead and Andrew Tate is the one who put the nail in the coffin. Also, Andrew Tate is 37. So, by his own logic, he has three years to produce five children or else he is," as Bernstein concluded the sentence a Pride LGBTQ+ flag appeared and a still of Tate rose up as Diana Ross' hit "I'm Coming Out" played.

Newsweek contacted Bernstein by Instagram DM and Tate's representatives by email for comment.

Tate himself may have been joking in the post because he replied with a laughing face emoji to one person who had written to him, "The fact some people take posts like this dead ass seriously and clutch pearls over them for days on end is precisely why they're amusing."

However, it comes just days after Tate labeled men as "losers" for the perceived drop in birth rates amongst white people.

Tate asserted his belief that white men's "genetic potential was stumped" and that "your race will be nothing more than a few pages in a history book."

While there is a declining birth rate around the world, it has to do with many more reasons, which don't include Tate's claims that men were "losers."

Young people are more worried about the future and therefore not keen to bring a child into the world, says one expert. "Young adults are living in a world which is characterized by many crises," Jessica Nisén, a family demographer at the University of Turku in Finland told Vox.

Some other reasons people in the U.S. were having fewer babies were because of economics and a perceived lack of policies to support parenthood in the workplace.

The New York Times conducted a poll in which many respondents put off or stopped having children because of concerns about having enough time or money. The poll results showed 64 percent made the decision because child care was too expensive, 43 percent waited too long because of financial instability and about 40 percent because of a lack of paid family leave.
