In a provocative podcast episode of “The Disruptor” in June 2025, Andrew Tate sat down with adult content creator Bonnie Blue. He ignited a firestorm of debate with his assertion that men—specifically “beta males”—are to blame for the hypersexualized culture he dubs “Bonnie Blue culture.”Tate’s controversial statements have polarized audiences, prompting discussions about male responsibility, societal norms, and the consequences of sexual liberation.
Tate’s central claim is that “beta males” fueled the rise of a hypersexualized society out of self-interest. He stated during the podcast,
“Everything’s men’s fault and this came from… the feminism and the women’s sexualization and the liberation a lot of it came from beta males hoping they get some [sex].”
He argues that these men supported feminist ideals and sexual liberation not for equality, but in hopes of personal gain—access to more sexual opportunities. Instead, Tate contends, their actions backfired, leading to what he sees as societal decay.
Tate frames his argument within a “natural order of the universe,” where, historically,
“the big gorilla top G has a bunch of women and then the small gorilla has nothing.”
He suggests that beta males, unable to compete with dominant “alpha” males in this hierarchy, pushed for sexual liberation to level the playing field. However, he claims this effort failed, asserting that “society’s destroyed by extension” due to their miscalculation.

His most striking point is that men hold the ultimate power to shape society. Tate declared,
“Men are the only ones who can apply force to scenarios,” and thus, “everything’s absolutely men’s fault.”
He believes that if men collectively opposed current cultural trends, they could “force this away,” implying that male inaction or weakness has allowed these changes to persist.
Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Bellinger, is a 25-year-old from Derbyshire who has become a symbol of controversy. Known for claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours, Blue was recently banned from OnlyFans and has been labeled a figurehead of “a new cult of sex extremism.” Her events, often involving sexual encounters with large groups of men, particularly younger participants, have drawn both fascination and outrage.
Tate described Blue as “the perfect end result of feminism” and “what The Matrix wanted to create.” Yet, rather than outright condemnation, he admired her candor, noting that she “completely 100% owns what she does,” unlike others he accuses of hypocrisy. This nuanced stance—respecting her honesty while critiquing the culture she represents—has added complexity to the controversy.
Tate pointed to a “false dichotomy of society,” where women are urged to embrace sexual liberation but face backlash when they monetize it, as Blue has. He argued that this hypocrisy reveals a more profound societal confusion about freedom and responsibility.
A cornerstone of Tate’s philosophy is that “feminism is a bullet that a man has shot.” He insists that women’s social advancements, including feminism, required male permission or enforcement, stating,
“Men are the only ones who could project force,” and “feminism was given to women by men.”
The Tate-Blue collaboration sparked immediate backlash online. Some of Tate’s followers felt betrayed, accusing him of hypocrisy for platforming Blue while decrying her lifestyle. Social media buzzed with debates over his consistency and motives.
Critics highlighted apparent contradictions: Tate respects Blue’s transparency yet frames her as a symptom of societal decline. This duality—praising her individually while condemning the broader culture—has fueled accusations of double standards, especially given his decision to feature her on his show.

Tate’s critique hinges on weak male leadership, particularly beta males, whom he accuses of destabilizing society through misguided support for liberation. He suggests that a stronger, more assertive male authority could have prevented these outcomes.
He also tied the phenomenon to economics, arguing that when traditional male authority erodes, women turn to monetizing their sexuality for survival. Tate posited that without a male-led structure, market and government forces dominate, pushing women into such roles.
