He continued: “When you push it long enough, that kind of sensitive ‘you can’t say anything’ culture, the pendulum will swing on the opposite side because people will get sick of it eventually.”
Judging by his comments, Trainwreck believes that people who think the world is too “sensitive” relate to controversial figures like Tate, and choose to blindly follow them because they oppose the things they hate.
Trainwreck concluded: “The people who don’t like him are actually the ones who are responsible for him, and that’s a truth many people won’t really grasp.”
