What really upsets me about this is this kid sounds like he has a learning disability of some kind. What grifters like Tate do to these young boys with vulnerable minds is fucking predatory and disgusting. Fuck him.
Like I'm not letting the kid completely off the hook accountability wise but this situation absolutely makes me more mad at Tate then I've been before.
I can see this. Another user brought up the scenario of the type of bully that bullies via proxy e.g. encouraging a kid to do some stupid shit because it's based and will make him popular and then having everyone else laugh and record it
Imagine a world where IEPs included speech therapy. I can find a lisp or a stutter endearing, but I know for a lot of people it's a huge source of embarrassment and social anxiety.
If there's a term for the manner of speech he's using I don't know it, but I have heard it a lot from almost exclusively guys, and most if not all seemed to have some difficulties with socialization.
I'd be curious to know if there's a casual connection either direction there, as I could see how having fewer face to face conversations, especially in early development, would make it harder to learn to produce the full range of sounds needed for speech in a natural and comfortable way. And how likewise having difficulty producing speech in a natural and comfortable manner would make one shy away from interactions requiring it.

He could also just have a speech impediment. I know a guy in the higher levels of academia that talks like this.
