An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.
The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.
“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”
On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.
The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That’s a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
Wonder what percentage of them are barely voter-age teens who voted for Trump. These idiots are gifting their money to these grifters, and then turn around to complain that they don’t have any money because >insert minority<.
aww, one sec, have to find my tiny violin…
Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
Time to become a scammer and financially ruin the kind of dumb men who would fall for this?
It would be morally indefensible not to!
I don’t know.
I think alienation is what drove droves of young men to this clown, so perhaps we shouldn’t try and alienate them more by scamming them and try and understand what the appeal of Tate was/is and work to fix that.
I think i read something or maybe listened to a podcast, where they theorized that Tate got his audience around the time when Jordan Peterson left the “guardian of young men” role. I think it kinda stands to reason that young men don’t really have decent men as mentors or role models these days.
The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. […] The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.
Jesus, why is this bullshit that large?
Idiots falling for authoritarian charisma is one of the oldest things on this planet.
Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
My mom is maga so she would probably be proud
Their case against him is falling apart. I dont like rapist like everyone else but I hate when innocent people are charged with bogus crimes.
Romaine of all places… I would know coming from a similar country where money has much much much higher weight than justice, even for foreigners. Would like to see him trialed in the UK or USA (where money & power still matters but probably much more than what he owns).
I would argue that money put the tate brothers in prison 2x times. The case is falling apart and the worst part if those ladies lied to get him in trouble they will suffer no jail time for their fraudulent claims. Thats the real crime!
dont tell me he is your role model
Source?
If you have a son you should be worried as well! Im scared for my son in this crazy world!

My fucking sides! 🤣
If you had a son you wouldn’t be laughing. We use to protect our girls from the boys but now its the opposite.
Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be this detached from reality.
I pity you.
Thats the same way i feel about you. This shit happens all the time… you just ignore it?
I think you need to touch some grass bro
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. He’s genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It’s actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.

People like Andrew Tate deserve part of the blame for propagating this kind of message, sure. But your client who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote is a bad person, and his moral failing is entirely his own. He doesn’t deserve pity because he’s uneducated and falling for propaganda. He’s a sexist piece of shit who thinks women deserve fewer rights than men. Don’t make up excuses for him. He’s a grown man with agency over himself. He chose his path.
Group think and tribalism is very powerful. I used to be a Trump supporter and I remember thinking about how women were more likely to vote for progressive candidates with the conclusion that perhaps they shouldn’t be doing that. I now very deeply regret being part of that and I’m so grateful I broke free of all that nonsense. Monkey see, monkey do is very true. That’s why it’s important that our leaders demonstrate good behavior and set a good example for everyone.
I’m sorry you have to work for him, and I’m doubly sorry for any women who have to work with him. He’s not genuinely kind. It doesn’t take an academic to see half the human population as humans deserving of the same rights as the other half.
I agree about how upsetting it’s been though. My neigbour and I used to share bbq over the fence and shoot the shit about his life. Now he’s got crazy eyes and legit thinks and says that my wife and I are evil witches (and whatever qanonsense his feed fed him yesterday). I miss the peace I had in my own backyard pre-2016, but here we are.
btw, a lot of effort goes into the misogynist fascist takeover of our public spaces (including online). None of this just happened because (for example, one genesis myth is) low income white boys were bored on the internet. They’ve been groomed for hate and it’s all deliberate.
Boot camps for adults that don’t actually want to do any real work along with a get rich quick incel overtone. What a scam.
Oohh, where can I find this list? My wife’s ex is one of those sad little men who follows and recommends him everywhere
From the above comment:
I guess their security turned out to be as fragile as their masculinity!
Ha ha.
Wow, that’s a big list of suckers
If I had no morals, damn. Scamming dumb misogynistic men would be such a killer money making opportunity.
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
Doesn’t every grifter have their own griftiversity?
Yeah, I suppose they do.
800 000 users is equal to almost 10% of the population of Portugal.
Didn’t know he was accredited
These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.
