He is “just a meme now”, said some. Many others rolled their eyes, describing him as someone who still pops up online but doesn’t matter any more.

I’m glad (especially younger people) are waking up. I remember when I used to be in college like couple years ago, my classmates worship Andrew Tate which made me so uncomfortable as someone that is queer and knows he is homophobic. One of the many reasons why I dropped out.

Don’t get my hopes up like that.

  In a way, I think them saying he’s dead as in ‘irrelevant’ and ‘just a meme’ is probably better than him being dead as in ‘not alive any more’, at least for the time being.
  
  Nobody’s going to try and make him a martyr of anything, just sort of ignore him and occasionally laugh at him.
  
  That said, I feel I wouldn’t be too upset if he expired in prison.
