Andrew Tate's controversial tweet on GTA 6 sparks fan backlash

GTA 6 anticipation still reigns supreme online, but not all are as hyped. On May 7, notorious internet personality Andrew Tate made a jab at the game's fans, which set off a heated tide of backlash. His jab did not go unheard, as gamers and content creators alike quickly retaliated in support of their interest.Andrew Tate went to Twitter with a straightforward message that stated: "You're obsessed with GTA 6 because you have zero cars, women, yachts, money or action in your real life." The tweet instantly attracted a lot of attention since a lot of people saw it as a random rant at the gaming community.Renowned for his blunt and usually polarizing views, Tate's comment seemed to imply that those who are eager for GTA 6 are doing so because they are lacking success in life. The tweet caught fire within a matter of hours, not only because of the tone, but because of the way it underestimated the importance and scope of gaming culture today.The fan reaction came quickly and with passion. One Twitter user rebutted Tate's claim by enumerating their actual accomplishments: "2 cars, partner of 7 years, buying my first boat at the end of the year, and I own a couple properties and my whole career is based on GTA 6.”This user also had this biting criticism: "Criticising what you don’t understand is a form of inadequacy. Maybe you should invest whatever you’ve got left into some T2 stock.”Another stuck to the funny and simple response, saying, "Relax baldy, I just want to play the game." brushing Tate's aggressive language aside with some humor. Yet another critic mocked Tate's web presence, posting, “You’re obsessed with portraying yourself as an alpha male because you know behind closed doors you’re a spineless beta.”Andrew Tate's efforts to devalue hype for GTA 6 appear to have worked in reverse, as a tidal wave of backlash from fans were quick to rally around both their own accomplishments and the worth of gaming. The episode again highlights the conflict between online trolls and dedicated digital groups who no longer fear to have their say.Also Read: GTA 6 trailers now available in uncompressed quality on Rockstar’s website
