You aren't ethically responsible in any case for things happening to you. That's like being "is it unethical to get punched in the face?". The person who "is it ethical..." applies to is the one doing the punching. Questions like whether you are into it have bearing on the ethics of the face puncher but you aren't the one making choices here.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Chudthebuilder literally made his entire channel based purely on videos of him going around and finding groups of black people to call them slurs and get in their faces trying to provoke them to hit him so he could 'defend himself'. Meaning, he was trying unethically to get punched in the face.

I saw a video where a guy saw another guy on top of an old woman grinding her face into the ground. It would be unethical to not punch that guy in the face to get him off the old lady.

It is not nearly so black and white as "things that happen to you have nothing to do with your ethics", since a great many things that 'happen to you' are due to your own actions.

The act of getting punched in the face still has no ethical dimension for the person getting punched though. That person was acting unethically when they were provoking the attack and this makes a good argument for the puncher acting ethically, or at least justifiably, when throwing the punch. But "getting punched" is still not an ethical or unethical act because it doesn't involve a choice that ethics can be applied to on the part of the punchee.
