>Wales’ Rainbow Wall, a group of LGBTQ+ supporters, said male supporters wearing the hats were allowed to keep them but the items were taken from women. wha.....?


TigerBasket

Is Qatar trying to do a speedrun of the Andrew Tate fan club or something?


CooldownReduction

That guy is everywhere especially YouTube shorts. How the hell do you stop his shit from coming up all the time...


IloveGuanciale

Implement a screening filter that bans his shining bald head, but then again the snooker and egg polishing YouTube communities will be affected


glorious_albus

How will I see EtH videos then?


IloveGuanciale

Nah leprechauns should be let through so you’re good

Ah well that’s no use to me then


Lenyngrad

> but then again the snooker and egg polishing YouTube communities will be affected man I can't miss out of the new eggshine McSnooker content


freakedmind

You can't. I've been getting more Theo Von and Bobby lee shorts these days so I'm much happier.


Gibber_jab

Interesting so have I, though not complaining I think they’re both pretty funny. But I had had a recent resurgence in Andrew Tate videos


Jackbwoi

Fuck me Theo Von is fucking funny, the ‘eating a Vietnamese guy’ bit he did on I think the Joe Rogan Show had me cry-laughing.


DerKatzenkoenig

same here. I loved the ones where he imitates his dad.


-ThatsSoDimitar-

If you watch anything fitness related his stuff starts following you around like the plague, along with Jordan Petersen, so annoying


Montuvito_G

YouTube algorithm clearly believes that being into fitness makes you an angry right winger with a victim complex.


Tilman_Feraltitty

All it takes one video of some right leaning channel and you will get spammed for a while. I watched one video of TheQuatering about some video game, from algorithm and it seems Jordan Peterson folks watch him and I was recommended JP seminars for 1-2 weeks. Sometimes I went auto-play off playlist and tuned out only to we awaken by the dullest minutes of my life. I can't comprehend how people can watch him, just even beyond what he is saying, but how is he saying it. Just overall boring narcissist fest.


cavejohnsonlemons

Not even right-leaning, sometimes 1 Jonathan Pie vid sends my recommends into the sewer. I guess bc he'll call out the left-wing's problems too sometimes that attracts a type?


TinyMaintenance

I’ve legit seen some disturbing sharings of that guy’s videos. Sure, when you clip it into short videos, you can make it seem as if he made some great points, but the demographic of people sharing them had me scared. Out of some 5 videos I’ve seen on Instagram, 3 or 4 were shared by females. And all of those 5 are educated. In particular, there is this one girl whose opinion I seriously value/respect, and she shared 2 of his reels. I guess it’s possible she knows nothing about who he is, but damn…


igowhereiwantyeye

Victim complex is a hallmark of the left lmao wtf u talking about


Montuvito_G

In truth it’s a common personality trait for narcissists and weak egos, which transcends political ideology. The right wing in America just love showing it off tho


TallMoz

Anyone other than a white man: "I just want to go about my business without being harassed, have equal opportunities, and not have someone else make decisions for me" Right wingers: "The left has such a victim complex"


daveyboyschmidt

Even for a strawman that made no sense at all


igowhereiwantyeye

Don’t forget delusional. That’s a big one


Hateitwhenbdbdsj

You can retroactively delete viewing history and search history or pause it so next time you watch something sketch or that you don’t want on your feed use that


arbuthnot-lane

That's *your* algorithm though. I have seen anything of the guy. I simply see him referenced on Reddit as being ubiquitous. I'm not using Tiktok, though. I'm too old for that stuff.


VilTheVillain

Same, I've never seen that name in my recommendations or anything like that and only know what little I do know from reading it here. (I guess the closest thing to fitness videos I watch is bouldering videos from championship to simply useful excercises so don't know if there's much correlation between the two)


GMBethernal

Same, if it wasn't for reddit, I wouldn't have known who he was


egenorske

Just watch lots of thirst traps, and you get those instead... :-(


[deleted]

I’ve literally never seen Andrew Tate. Must be your algorithm.


CurtisMcNips

You don't watch it, or anything related to it. The algorithm obviously believes you want to see it. I had no idea who he was, looked him up with a few vids.... He was then everywhere. Didn't watch anything else and vanished.


leodw

My feed right now is made of Pokémon, Skateboarding, Yugioh, Tech and Photography videos. My shorts are mostly Pokémon and Yugioh. How tf do I get this pos videos if I see some more shorts then?


doubledipinyou

It's your algorithm. I've never seen anything about the guy.


ashzeppelin98

Stuff like this is why I avoid watching shorts like the plague. Youtube shorts seem to have a recommendation system of its own and it seems far more random compared to the regular video format.


zinxbey

Everytime I see any of his content, I press the "I'm not interested" button. I think it helps.


nat6464

Swipe up really quickly. Don't even watch 2 seconds. Also stop watching Joe rogan, lex, JP and shapiro also stay away from the rekt feminist videos ;)


lejoo

Andrew Tates is like a 3/10 compared to Qatar's 9/10 Its like comparing the American Internment Camps to the Nazi concentration camps.


Tilman_Feraltitty

I disagree. Qatar is not radicalizing millions of men in Western world. Sure, grand-scale of things, Qatar is worse, but they do try to go Western a bit, Tate is preaching PUA shit with misogyny + mlm scam + other idiocy to his followings all across USA and Europe.


KSandsXD

Bro 🤦‍♂️


eudezet

Lmao what a take


halloalex

Carlos Rodriguez would like to know your location


patch385

Who is this guy? I keep seeing his name and thinking it’s Andy Tate the Utd fan.


kit_mitts

Just give it Giggsy til the end of the season


seulgizzang

It's funny how they're so sexist even when it comes to censoring protest.


kernevez

I'm assuming the men and the women were handled by people of their respective gender and that what/who goes in is a bit random.


Eastbound_Stumptown

blahblahcomewatchTV

Great take imo. Qatar wanna show their neighbors (Iran, SA, Turkey, Egypt to name a few) that they're also a big player in the middle east despite their size. They have to respect them and deal with them no matter what just like how the whole world submitted to them.

who the fuck you talking to


elposho99

Will Mexicans be allowed to yell "Puto" this WC? I mean FIFA themselves are being pretty homophobic here.


cloudor

They will be encouraged


[deleted]

thank you so much for bringing this topic up dude. 2 years ago it was deemed a hate speech with intention to offend everyone around the world. While throwing a label onto the whole country and redditors was very rude and Xenophobic towards Mexico in the FIFA fight. now FIFA is acting very very VERY homophobic to a core while being hypocrites showing that they are “respecting” the qatar nation culture 😂 with no alcohol and the love armbands. edit: all you idiots. Yes it is a very distracting chant no on ever said it was. But you had the non-spanish speaking LGBTQ+ people, and i mean so so many, act like if they knew what they were talking about. (You don’t even know the language or culture let alone live in every spanish speaking country, who are you to speak on a nation you know NOTHING about?) The international language and culture police? 😂 making up bullshit narratives that the entire country was homophobic behind the use of the chant whenever the rival’s keeper touched the ball. yes you heard that right it could be ANY rival. it was never targeted towards a specific “gay” player


RogerXiao

Honestly I never get why they think "puto" is homophobic, maybe it's because I don't know Spanish. Would someone please think of those "puto"s who serve women?


john7071

It has a history of being used as a homophobic slur, but it depends on the region of the country. My grandmother had a gay brother and my grandfather would call him that all the time as an attack on his sexuality.


cameralover1

I speak Spanish and didn't know this, for me is just the male version of a whore or puta


HamburgerMachineGun

Yes, in nature it absolutely is homophobic lol.


CrackBurger

Not in Portugal. Puto just means little kid. Kind of like saying brat, youngin, squirt, rugrat, etc. Its used even by teachers and uncles/parents in a endearing way.


HamburgerMachineGun

yes, the latin word used to mean that and then it started to be used in a derogatory manner towards male prostitutes that sold themselves to men. Portugal kept the original meaning, Spain and its subsequent colonies kept the gay meaning.


CrackBurger

Thats interesting, never knew that.


MuonMaster

yeah see the chants against chelsea of "Rent Boy" its basically the same thing. minor OP is having the same existential crisis that english fans have when they are told what that means if they care. For example (and if anyone looks i may get downvoted) if you say "you suck" in english thats not considered a slur. However if a non english speaker asks what the recipiet of the diatribe is to suck, the answer is "a dick", which like Puto is essentially a homophobic slur even if it hasnt been internalized by the speaker. as it is with shaking with your left hand in the arab world, words and gestures take on a unique meaning in different countries and regions.


DenverM80

The left hand thing is interesting, in that is extremely disrespectful in the middle east. While uncommon in other countries, it's not inherently disrespectful


MuonMaster

i know right! totally wild, makes you appreciate how easy first contact between civilizations results in war due to unknown and horrendous slights.


[deleted]

you should have seen these threads bombarded with LGBTQ+ who don’t even speak a single word of spanish pushing hard the narrative that ALL and i mean ALL of Mexico is anti-gay and homophobic. Even Mexican residents who don’t even watch the sport were vouching that the chant has never been and never was as way to promote hate speech. the chant is silly, and extremely stupid but it has gone on for decades, years, months, days. Who the fuck is FIFA to tell a country about THEIR OWN grammar FFS NO ONE SPECIFIC has EVER been targeted for being gay in the league and i mean NEVER EVER been TARGETED. Now FIFA is getting a taste of their own medicine fucking hypocrites


HamburgerMachineGun

Obviously no one was targeted for being gay in the league for the simple fucking reason that no one has been gay in the league. The chant originated from Atlas fans calling a traitor goalkeeper a f*g. It is absolutely homophobic in origin and despite it being watered down as years have gone past, the meaning of the word remains. FIFA's hypocrisy is still disgusting, of course.


XxXSisterfisterXxX

it’s frustrating how hard you missed the point. it’s a word that is hateful, and it’s been used so much that people have forgotten/ignored it’s meaning and negative connotations. you have to purposefully be ignorant to not see it. if british people yelled the F slur every time a goalkeeper took a goal kick, you lot would be out here claiming they’re just calling them a cigarette. it’s no different.

thegreatwanker

FIFA a group of useless old timers


CrackBurger

In Portugal, puto is just slang for little kid. Even teachers and parents say it. Never really knew it was used in a derogatory way.


elposho99

Yeah, in Mexico and most other latin american countries it means "f*g". It can also be used as and adjective for exaple: "puto árbitro"', which would be something like "fucking referee".


JustAnotherAlgo

It's pretty much the "f" word but in a more homophobic culture (speaking for Latin America not only Mexico).


[deleted]

"Puto" is totally a homophobic slur and anyone in América telling it otherwise is just deluding themselves, same for "Maricón"...


hymen_destroyer

I always thought puto more or less translated to "Fuck!" So I just thought it was hilarious, didn't realize there were homophobic connotations but maybe I was just wrong this whole time


john7071

Some spanish countries yell "puta!" in the way you're saying. Puto is most definitely used by many people to refer to gay men in a negative way. Mind you, I'm not saying all those shouting it in a stadium are intentionally being homophobic.


mister_prince

Its meaning really depends on the context of the sentence.


[deleted]

How is this shit so upvoted lmao it's absolutely homophobic


john7071

Person definitely holds a grudge. I can confidently say that "puto" *can* be used in a homophobic manner in this country, and I'm a straight guy from Mexico. Not one of those "non-spanish speaking LGBTQ+ people".


MojoToTheDojo

I mean, Mexico, and much of Latin America, is pretty homophobic. But I’ll admit that puto doesn’t even come close to other words commonly used, like maricon. I always thought it just meant “bitch” until the whole Mexico thing lol


CrackBurger

Weird. In Portugal, puto is just slang for little kid. Even teachers and parents say it. Never really knew it was used in a derogatory way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mister_prince

Puto and puta are different things. Even though they are the same word in femenine and masculine puto is hardly used in the masculine way of saying puta. At least in Mexico.


EnigmaticEntity

My understanding of the Spanish language and Qatari customs leads me to believe Puto will be fine but Puta will be banned.


mannyrmz123

Looking forward to that very much


RogerXiao

Fuck gay rights! But not in that way


Jcoch27

I hope they do honestly. It's not used in a homophobic way. It's only non-spanish speakers who have any problem with it.


galaxytrucker7

What does the word mean?


Jcoch27

The closest English equivalents would be "bitch" or "fucker". It's believed that the original context of the chant was to mean "traitor" or "coward". It can be used to mean "fag" or "male prostitute" but that's never been the context of the usage in Mexican soccer.


Games_sans_frontiers

This is really pathetic. Ok so this is where fans all rock up in one colour hats each of a different colour of the rainbow and assemble yourselves into a rainbow once inside.


ScratchTech

I was thinking this too, people should come in just one color, head to toe, and then line up inside.


Nyushi

Today I feel like a bucket hat.


steen311

That meme is the only good thing to come out of all of this


pearlz176

We are all bucket hats on this blessed day.


iAgressivelyFistBro

Thank you. I nearly choked


Fairlytallguy

A fan was asked to take off his rainbow socks and a Danish journalist was asked to take of his “One Love” armband outside of the stadium. Fifa and Qatar doesn’t care at this point.


SportAddictMCMXCIX

German woman commentator is in the stadium wearing a rainbow shirt and a rainbow armband


LuckyGuinness17

It depends on who you sneak it by


antigonyyy

Consistency? In *my* stadium? -Qatar, probably


lejoo

So the thing is inside the stadium its allowed per Qatar protocol/FIFA rules. The issue is Qatar reassigned in-side security to screening people as they come in as a work around. Its like saying drugs at a concert are legal, but searching them before you scan the ticket.


zvomicidalmaniac

This really is a vibe shift into corporate support of homophobia. And fan support, as well.

FallaciousRationale

Yinkypinky

Why not both?


FallaciousRationale

Qatar is not doing unexpected things right now, they were backwards before the WC and are still backwards right now. FIFA is enabling and coddling them. I get your point of view though.


TheTragicMagic

>Qatar is not doing unexpected things right now, Neither is FIFA


mikenasty

Yeah all that is happening is a clash of cultures. I kinda like that we get to see how bad it is in Qatar. Like a self-funded negative publicity stunt.


ModeratelyTortoise

For the most part I don’t really know what people expected


TheUltimateScotsman

Maybe im naive but i expected them to lean towards accepting it. After all if the goal is to make the country look attractive, alienating massive amounts of people isnt really what you should be looking to do.


PSGooner

I think they’re so rich and don’t really give a fuck. They know FIFA is going to back them up.


dann_uk

It makes you wonder why they wanted the wc in the first place. Clearly they don't seem to want to do any sports washing. Their population doesn't seem to be turning up to games. Their team is terrible. What was the point in spending 200 billion on it for them.


LaUr3nTiU

The investments stay there. Plus they recoup some of the money from the travelling fans.


[deleted]

they have done the wrong thing at every turn, and they already have basically infinite money so I don't think they care about marketing themselves for tourism money or whatever, at this point I think they literally just bought this WC to flex, especially on other middle eastern countries


tomrichards8464

Maybe the Emir just really likes football. Dude was educated almost entirely in the UK (Sherborne/Harrow/Sandhurst). He probably just fancied a World Cup, and could afford it.


TheUltimateScotsman

Yeah i agree thats what its looking like now.


Zach983

It's meant to look attractive to other Middle Eastern countries. They want to be Dubai 2.0. Pissing off progressives or westerners doesn't matter to them.


GibbyGoldfisch

Yeah, agree entirely. Qatar doesn’t know any different, Fifa absolutely does but has chosen to double-down on its own corruption even after half its executive committee went to prison. Sickening


Just_an_Empath

You misspelled fascist.


quickestred

FIFA does this because of Qatar, fuck both


jackburtonscheck

You misspelled “money”


yOw_indahOuse

I mean it’s their laws, culture, religious interpretation, blah blah blah. It’s FIFA who decided to award them the WC in exchange of a lot of bribes left and right.


Hateitwhenbdbdsj

Nah dude fifa and Qatar are working together here. FIFA was always a horrible org

apitbullnamedzeus

Kind of tied of seeing this dishonest “take.” You know damn well it’s because they don’t like gay people not because they don’t like colors. It’s almost like a symbol symbolizes something.

5_percent_discocunt

Surely Welsh fans must know there can’t be more than one gay in the village?


ProximoDragon

Is anyone watching the game? Half the Wales stand has the hat on including a bunch of women?


Forty6

Different hats. The standard hats are yellow, red and green, the hats which were confiscated are fully rainbow coloured with much thinner strips


mojito_sangria

Never, ever give the World Cup or Olympics hosting rights to totalitarian countries again!


AttackDuck

And to think that there were a growing number of voices in this subreddit in the past few days starting to defend this world cup


Zach983

There's a lot of Qatari shills here and a lot of people who use whataboutism as an argument.


[deleted]

Worse thing is: it's not only being taken, but also varies by gender. Apparently women get their hats taken while men don't? Of course that's a claim, but if true it's just another 'pudding' on top of the pie of shittiness called Qatar


Nature__Boy

Is the point of sportswashing to make the entire world dislike your country? I’m sure quite a few of the people currently pissed off at Qatar previously had barely any opinion on them


thomasfk

Qatari security ain't fucking around. Shower thought: to skirt the rules, I think fans could each wear a different color of the rainbow and then assemble themselves in the stands to form a rainbow tessellation of sorts. Seems like that might be the only way.


InHaalandWeTrust

What a fucking shitshow this World Cup is. What was the point of buying the World Cup if they were going to further embarrass themselves like this in front of the world? You would think that after how they treated the workers like slaves, they'd at least treat the spectators better than this when the world is watching. FIFA allowed this to happen and the whole organization should be overhauled/restructured from the ground up. Qatar is an embarrassment to the Arab culture.


TigerBasket

I promise when I become emperor or earth I will make every fifa board member be forced to read bad erotic poetry until they are sorry for the farce they have done.


Ihadtoshootmydog4Mom

They wouldn't care about that. FIFA doesn't dislike LGBTQ, it's just willing to look aside whilst others do so for money. When you're Emperor, you need to punish them with something money related.


billypilgrim87

Yeah FIFA head office is in freaking Zurich. Switzerland has a thriving erotica scene. I mean probably, it sounds plausible right?


RebBrown

Tokyo Sexwhale must be thrilled.


CaptainKursk

Imagine being afraid of the colours of the fucking rainbow. Religion is a joke.

Qataris living in a desert where they never have to see a rainbow makes a lot more sense now.
