I'm not necessarily saying he was in on it. Either way the feminists had the institutional power to shut him down before he ever became a thing, and the fact that they didn't suggests that they found him useful somehow. My theory is they were trying to discredit the manosphere and the red pill in particular, but that's a bit more speculative on my part.
It's interesting that you bring up Trump because the comparison crossed my mind as well. The main difference is that taking down Tate would have been trivial for them had they decided to do it immediately. Not so much with Trump, as their various attempts have shown.

Eh. They have the impression of power. There really is some truth to the whole 'the only one who can cancel you is you' idea. It's not 100%, and they can get their scalps, but generally their victims are at least slightly willing participants. Tate got deplatformed everywhere. They tried to get him. And it just made him stronger, because he didn't cuck.

A possibility, yeah. Don't know enough about him to say either way, personally.
