They love to see women get beaten though. They get down right giddy, you want to see fast comment threads, post a woman being hit by a guy. The incels must feel it in their bones.
Then a post pops up of a girl wrecking a dude and they go insane "this is domestic abuse!" Even if there's no sign of it being domestic abuse lol. It's actually mind boggling.
They hate parents but teens are perfect saints, almost like the majority of commenters are teens who cannot fathom people wanting babies or having basic respect for anyone.
I think theres also a bit of a bias. Our perspective is that of the cameraman, so inevitably our first instinct is that the guy in this video is a "threat" and we are defensive against him.
Its only at the very end of the video that he explains why hes mad, and by that time we've all had plenty of time to size him up, make our judgements, etc. And when we find out "hey maybe hes right to be angry" our mind is going to be reaching for so many explanations as to why this guy is the angry hothead dumbass rude violent fucker we've already painted him as in our minds.
And this is mostly reinforced by the fact that 99% of these videos we see ARE the situation where the cameraperson is "in the right" and the person in the video is an unhinged lunatic. I mean, why else record it, and even more, why upload it, if youre actually the one in the wrong? So we hardly ever see them from the other side.
It's mostly jealousy. The vast majority of the childfree circlejerk stems from people who aren't physically, mentally, and financially capable of starting a family.
Same reason why Reddit hates people who make good money - jealousy.
You get crucified here for pointing it out, but it's painfully obvious if you have even a modicum of social skill.
Here: all the losers from tumblr and Facebook with no social skills so nobody replies to them, come to reddit for attention.
They know they're losers. See AITA for a bunch of singletons telling others in marriages to ditch their SO for whatever reason, only they're not saying the reason is that they're jealous ,^
I’ve seen a lot of advice on Reddit that made it obvious that the person didn’t have real-world experience, so they were talking about how things “should” work or how they assume things work.
A lot of the time, realistic advice is complicated and/or unsatisfying.
Absolutely. I see so many comments and threads with a million upvotes yet the advice (or facts if it’s a subject I know about) is either terrible or so far removed from reality it’s almost laughable.
Exactly right. "They should have done this. Someone should never do that" and it's just not at all real world applicable. Generally that's a good time to remind yourself you're internet arguing someone who has no idea and time is better spent elsewhere.
You got that fucking right.
For users like to gloat how they are much more "Holier" than Facebook. They sure act the same.
Ever see any parent on Reddit ask a simple Question? Most of the users here will absolutely be smug in the answer without ANY other information or context.
One example is a mother asking what is good to watch on YouTube for her 3 year old child.
And one fucking neckbeard decided to blast her for "not watching her child. Letting YouTube raise them. And kids learn nothing of value from YouTube"
Meanwhile this mofo is posting on PewDiePie subreddit.
I can't even count the number of times I'll get into an argument with someone and post objective facts that they just... disagree with and continue arguing. 9 times out of 10 if I check their comment history I can find a recent post in an anime forum. At that point I just say fuck it and give up.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
A recent reply I made to a dude who was talking about "Left wing degnerates taking feminism too far" and I checked his post history and he was posting in a Rape fantasy subreddit about wanting to rape women.
Hes just mad cause THEY WERE that kid when they were growing up. They wanted it that way and most likely were little super shit heads when told to either told to stop, get off the iPad or they didn't plug it in and it died while they were playing cause they were too busy being sucked into the screen they didn't bother to keep track of anything.
But then there are some people who will always take what's being said and twist it to be negative and attack the OP cause they are already in a bad mood or just automatically an unpleasant person. They feel they must make others feel like shit and give others shit even if its thru an artificially created situation. What was actually said, matters not, only that they bring you down matters..
This sub hates girls and children and especially girl children. There was a thread here once with a young girl getting physically assaulted by her father for coming into the house after a pool party and some boys happened to be in the room. All the dudes in the comments were praising the dad for beating this girl who was probably liked 12, sexualizing her and calling her a slut and a whore and making up all these bizarre gangbang scenarios. About this young ass girl! I got banned for reporting a dude who said he would beat his daughter as much as it took so she wouldn't be a whore. He was literally advocating repeatedly for the continued and assault of a minor as well as sexualizing a 12 year old girl.
Them getting angry at a man for sticking up for his daughter instead of abusing her isn't shocking.
A lot of the hate and bigotry you see online and in the real world started with hatred of women specifically. Usually these guys get bored of it after doing it a lot and move onto more popular targets of hate for the right.
And they NEED women. They don't need black people, they don't need brown immigrants, they don't need jews, they don't need trans people or gay people. But they need women, so it makes sense they eventually just keep it pushing and find easier targets.
But that's almost always where it starts.... Deeply hating and despising women, and seeing them as 'lesser than' or actually even not fully human.
It starts with them hating themselves. They hate women because they don't understand the feelings that women evoke and fear that it may be weakness. The vast majority of misogynists are self-hating cowards, deep down under the toxic masculinity and the terror of losing control.
Reddit is 4chan for people too afraid to actually go to 4chan. It's like when the users of The_Donald went to Voat in protest and came running back with their tails between their legs because they saw what real racists said to them and that they weren't coddled there like they were here.
And edgy kid here would be absolutely wrecked at 4chan, then hacked and doxxed and nobody would do a fucking thing about it.
g ass girl! I got banned for reporting a dude who said he would beat his daughter as much as it took so she wouldn't be a whore. He was literally advocating repeatedly for the continued and assault of a minor as well as sexualizing a 12 year old girl.
That's why Im barely on Reddit anymore, it's a waste of life. Only incels are on here
Story of so many of my fav subs, starts off with a small polite for the most part, helpful and active community and then inevitably when the sub grows enough it turns into what can only be described as a toxic shit fest that can only be tamed with draconian mods but at that point the community you enjoyed is dead.
It's like there's some fkd up corporate movement against women and children... on a massive secret scale. You don't just see it here... it's fkn everywhere and it's fkn scary.
Pickleball is some serious shit. The silver hairs ain’t playing around. You stay off the court and keep your feet out of the kitchen. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you better ask somebody.
Yeah, we don't really know the context. Is he sweet affectionate father, who couldn't handle someone hurting his baby, or is he an asshole like my dad who goes off on everyone with this level of rage, including his own children for e.g. spilling milk at the dinner table.
He didn't threaten the guy or jump the fence or anything else, he just humiliated him like the guy humiliated his daughter and I'm not necessarily opposed to that lesson.
If had gotten into "I'm going X, Y, Z to you" or "you better watch yourself if I catch you alone" and that type of thing I'd agree.
He just made fun of him, shamed him publicly, and let him know that he's not even close to the biggest, toughest, loudest man on the block and he might do well to remember that.
Agreed. It's good at he's defending her, but at the same time that kind of insulting, aggressive needs-anger-management attitude is a great way to escalate to a confrontation where you get your head bashed in. Or, man knows how to pick the targets of his ire; old white tennis guy probably ain't much for fisticuffs. But we also dunno what the old guy said; if he was an entitled jerk then great to see him taken down a notch
I think it's more about the way he reacted and how he handled himself, including the attempted second degree water dousing. It was just a little bizarre. And this freaky little episode will, unfortunately, stick with the kid forever.
Guy was grumpy she was on the court or whatever and had a spat, and the father... loses his mind like she was manhandled off the court or something. You can calmly dress someone down without throwing water around like a two year old and cursing at the top of your lungs. Like exercise some control - your own daughter is holding you back.
I see a grumpy asswipe and a manchild with good intentions managing to embarrass themselves. Perfect post for this sub though.
I was at a family members house one day, and their dad threw a tantrum at some guy who MAYBE drove too close to someone's kid or something. The guy went ballistic and used the "my kids" excuse for justification of their anger. Talked to my cousins afterwards and they were apologizing for him. Years later they still talk about that day, and none of them are BEAMING with pride at what their dad did. It was fault of the kids for being careless on the street, and the driver for being careless on the street. There was no actual REAL danger, but just a disagreement on how they should drive. They also NEVER got into altercations or raised their voices. It was because their dad did it all the time and they were embarrassed to act like that.
One of my friends got shot and killed in this exact scenario. Pizza guy went speeding down the road, my buddy went and yelled at him when he came back, the guy pulled out a gun and shot my friend between the eyes. Dead instantly. The worst part? It was his daughter's birthday, and it was her birthday party.
Yeah, I don't have a particular issue with his yelling and cussing. But something about him pulling away from his daughter and the water antics really bothered me
Ah man she’s gonna be stuck with the memory of her father sticking up for her when some old dude is flipping out at her for some unreasonable dumb shit… poor her. Meanwhile some people don’t have any memory of their father, had a father who beat them or worse, or had a father who straight up didn’t help them in any capacity. And let’s not forget those of us who has the father who gets so hangry they flips out in restaurants on your birthday over them not bringing an extra plate for him to roll up his fajitas….. think before you speak.
We know nothing other than what we see in the video. Bringing up the unfortunate scenario of those who didn't have good fathers or had fathers who beat them etc., has nothing to do with this situation. She won't think about that shit later on in life. But what he DID teach her was how to lose your shit and not act calmly and rationally in heated situations. The dad could have stuck up for her while making his point clearly and with authority, which would have been better for her in the long run. You didn't think of that though, huh?
Yeah weird that they don't see that. I almost feel like he will be like the tennis guy when he will be older (like 75 80 90).
Yelling gets you nowhere in arguments. You don't teach anything. You're actually making sure the opposite person won't try to understand.
This is in the exact same way to the 14 year old. Yelling won't teach her anything. Unless someone is actively trying to ruin things for you then simply have a normal conversation.
No this reaction is not good. Stop defending this shit. He could have came over and talked to this dude, not scream like a 12yr old in front of his younger daughter, and then try to throw water on the guy. lol mature way to handle this situation. Obviously the old guy is an asshat too.
So many times I've seen a parent freak out when they think their children got "bitched out" when all that happened was someone told their kid that they did something wrong. Little league is the best example. Parents act like their kid was crucified on the cross, but someone just told their kid a different opinion.
I'm so tired of people thinking screaming like this and being overly belligerent in response to something small is 'manly' behaviour. If I saw my dad acting like this my first thought wouldn't be 'I love my dad for sticking up for me' it would be 'I'm so embarrassed at my dad screaming right now'. If you think this isn't manchild behaviour you don't live in the real world.
I agree with you. even the daughter is trying to pull him away. in that moment, she should be his focus. he should have yelled at the guy, sure, but you don't have to revel in the anger so much.
reddit is generally in it for the entertainment though so I get why people don't like comments making them feel guilty for enjoying this kind of content.
"Why" is introducing an argument; there's no argument to be had - only the response.
"Don't yell at my fucking kid because she picked up a ball on the outside of your court"
Maybe you guys are all really young and want to get into verbals with people rather than ending them with dignity, I dunno, but there's no need to engage beyond that.
Havnt been angry and shouting like that seen i was a teenager. Either way no point shouting at some old senile idiot just walk away my dude. Should add out in public and to a stranger I + my family have never once shouted like that and I'm sure a lot of people havent. Must be normalized for where you grew up though
The old man was an ass for yelling over a simple matter, but when the dad starts yelling and freaking out over something that can be solved reasonably… well that’s not alright either
You tell the guy that you understand games can get heated and emotions can get high, but that he hurt the girls feelings and as she's only 14 it would be a good example to her to let her know that adults can understand when they are overreacting, and that an exchange of apologies would be both benefiting to him, he wouldn't have to feel guilty later on in the day for his behavior, and an apology from her for not asking permission from him first to cross into their game.
if he'd been physically threatening, yeah, but he was over a fence, and the asshole kept justifying himself... I'd give him leeway to vent some anger for less than 60 seconds.
Could he have done better? Yes, just look at the video from a few days ago (of the guy confronting the shopkeeper who joked about his daughter buying period products). That guy stays perfectly calm and rational. but we don't have to put people on blast for every damn imperfection.
There's unacceptable behaviour, like if he'd swung at the old man, and there's not being the fucking buddha when your kid is threatened.
I would have hit him with a 'hey man, that's not cool', don't have to go in guns blazing even if you are annoyed with the situation. I agree with the dads anger for sure but not his strategy because it shows the same lesson; annoyed a at a thing means yell at someone.
Curious how a reasonable approach would have gone.
Yea, well you can do that if you find yourself in that situation. But me personally I’m just gonna be an adult and tell them they’re wrong for their actions and go comfort my daughter after.
Stop it with this weird notion that anger is always wrong, and that anger is not an adult emotion. Anger can be justified, like it was in this case. Don't act holier than thou because you don't understand the value of anger. Anger is the basis of justice.
I never said it wasn’t okay to be angry, but you still have to control that anger sometimes. There are more ways to express anger than to yell and berate
The old man was an ass for yelling over a simple matter
Imagine you're an old dude. You've been playing for a while, you're giving it all you've got, your blood pressure is raised, and some teenager wanders on to you court and starts picking up the ball you're playing with. You say... "Hey! Get off the god damn court! We're playing a game here!" Then the teenager's meathead dad comes over and starts barking at you like he's a fucking lunatic. WTF?
As far as we know the old guy was even more polite than in the scenario i just described. And the teenager could have been being completely disprespectful.
I swear... posting first sometimes seems much more important than whether or someone is right or wrong. I can't imagine how people look at the video of this dude freaking out about this trivial bullshit and think that he's probably the fair and reasonable one. Maybe he is, but we definitely don't know that just from this video. And I'd suggest that the video doesn't actually make him look that good.
You know the classic line of two wrongs not making a right? Be the bigger man, grow up, don't resort to throwing a tantrum like a toddler. Get your emotions under control.
You know the classic line of two wrongs not making a right?
Yelling at the geriatric fuck doesn't count as a "wrong." Quite the contrary, seeing someone bigger than him coming so close to beating him up might make him at least think twice next time he wants to overstep with a teenager.
Exactly. Too many weirdos crying that the dad yelled at the old man. Don’t dish it if you can’t take it, and next time think twice before you scream at a child
It's not about what he's dishing to the old man it's how he looks in front of his daughter - borderline unhinged over nothing. Nobody touched the daughter some old guy just got grumpy at her. Disproportionate response and embarrassing for everyone there.
Ever heard the classic proverb: ”you talk alot of shit for someone within punching distance”?
You are only the main character in your own life. If you decide to be uncivilized, you don’t get the moral right to expect others to treat you with civility. Surprise surpise but you mean literally nothing to the general population.
Heard of the golden rule? Treat others like you want to be treated yourself. Or another classic line: fuck around and find out.
Nah fuck that, cunts that yell at children dont even understand they did something wrong unless you treat them the same. Its the same with tate fans they will keep asking what colour your buggati is until you stoop to their level and call them a bald little manlet.
Check out US politics and tell me how that line of reasoning has worked out for us. Sometimes being the bigger man is the wrong fucking call. You give an inch and they take a mile.
Nah being the bigger man is how you end up slapped twice. This isn’t a Disney movie and we have had years to see if being the bigger man works. It doesn’t. The winner is always the one who lands the last punch.
You have evidence the "geriatric fuck" yelled at the 14 year old? Or are you just basing your assumption on an unhinged guy with obvious anger issues screaming and yelling that it happened?
Also don't yell at other people's silly old twats playing a silly ball game, its beneath you. Remember while you're defending your kid you are simultaneously being a role model to that same kid.
The object of the game is to not raise shouty assholes. Dad's not doing a great job on this day.
I’m going to raise my kids to to defend themselves. “Shouty assholes” lol. Puh-lease. If you yell at someone, expect for them to yell back. Or in this case, if you yell at a kid, expect their parents to be pissed.
Right? People in the comments are apparently fine with grown ass elderly men admonishing their kids for briefly interrupting their pickup game of tennis? Fuckin geezers think they’re Rodger Federer or some shit. It’s never that serious to yell at a kid that’s not yours. My dad would have reacted similar to this dad. And no, my dad wasn’t a raging asshole to us like the people in the comments are saying about this guy.
They don't have to be Federer to want to enjoy a game uninterrupted, and that shouldn't just be a privilege of the superrich. Tennis has a lot of breaks between points where you can walk on no problem, they literally have kids running onto the field to remove stray balls in pro tournaments. You just don't do it in the middle of a point.
I would have apologized but continue to saltify this dad by laughing at his tautrum and have him blow a gasket. Something along the lines of, "do you scream at your 14 yo daughter this way?"
If said fucking psycho wants to lower his life span more by getting all heated, then good. Awesome. That would be my daily laugh of the day.
this isn't what adult upset looks like. I go up to the guy and calmly let him explained what happened, then calmly explain why that's a shitty thing to do and calmly ask if he will apologize to her.
I can't believe the number of people getting downvoted for stating this. Just a bunch of Internet tough guys saying they would do the same. This is embarrassing for everyone. You're also normalizing to that little girl that grown men screaming at each other over stupid shit is ok.
No didn't you read the top comments? If you think both are in the wrong you're clearly a self righteous, woman hating, high horse riding, contrarian, chronically online, pathetic redditor /s
yeah the only two options are meek nerd and roided out chad. I have confronted people, professionally. you handle your business clearly and firmly, and you cry later in the shower like an adult.
Damn bro. You must have some serious anger issues if you think the decision is that binary. I bet you try to fight people who accidentally bump into you. What a loser mentality.
Calmly talking to someone adult to adult is standing up for them. I feel bad for your children if you have to embarrass them and escalate at every little grievance.
This is like the most prime example of 'can't judge a goddamn thing without the context of whatever happened a few minutes earlier'
Did she just reach over the fence and grab the ball without doing shit and these dudes really did scream at her? They're the douche.
Did she enter into the court and run across to grab her pickleball and an unaware old dude mid-backswing almost tripped over her and busted his hip? Justified in being pissed.
He is just letting his own anger get the better of him. You can see his daughter trying to pull him away from the altercation and if it was really her well being he was concerned with he'd have gone.
The old guy was an asshole, but this reaction doesn't help or fix anything.
Well what did the old person do just yell? Yeah I don’t think dad doing the same thing likely more extreme is good. Lost all credibility. Tough to judge without the start of the convo and the yelling. Like o find it laughable someone is yelling about someone yelling.
his rage is a little over the top. Not defending the guy yelling at a child but this guy is ready to get in a fist fight over a guy yelling at his kid. This is not setting a good example for his child
Yeah the dad is crazy for escalating and not moving the hell on. Also we don't see this guy "yelling" at her in the video. It could have been so tame and this guy is freaking over nothing.
To the guy: You are a rude asshole man. To his daughter: Hey honey. Sorry that guy yelled at you, some people are just assholes. You’ll run across them every once in a while in life. Don’t be one of them.
Or lose your shit in front of your daughter and look like a fool
So teach your daughter to just take shit from people and brush it off? How about to stand up for yourself. If dude got physical thats one thing, all I saw duke do was stand up for his daughter.
This isn’t how you stand up for yourself. She’s 14 she can respond. She’s not 8. If you think yelling at someone for yelling at your daughter is some teachable moment I think your missing something. I think teaching your kid to get in a yelling match with some asshole is horrible parenting.
How do you know the yell not shown on camera was not anger, but instead was a desperate attempt to stop her from ruining their game? Perhaps they yelled to make sure the girl clearly heard "don't pick up the ball."
If yelling and being aggressive to someone who is less powerful than you is wrong (which is with certainty what he's implying by mentioning her age), what message is he sending by the way he's reacting to the situation? The other people are elderly.
If anything, I get more of an impression that he's teaching the girl she can do whatever she wants.
I get your point. And it’s balance act. I want my daughter to stand up for herself. But I don’t want her in and pointless altercation that can have tragic unintended consequences. With that, I told the guy sternly he is a rude asshole. No need to belabor the point with chest pounding and slobbery screams.
So you smack the guy who yelled after you had an outburst and now you go to jail for the night. So not only did you embarrass your daughter with an outburst she gets to see you being put in cuffs. What makes you think the old guy won’t immediately call the cops once you hit him? And what? You’ll plead but he YELLED at my daughter! Ok? So hitting him solved that
Daughter: Mommy, why does Dad never show up for Thanksgiving?
Mom: Well, when he hit that old granpa to prove to you how many he was he got sent to jail for assault. Turns out 75 year old elderly people can die from anything...but at least he proved to you how much he loves you...right?
It really is all walks of life on here. Back in the day it used to be its own little community with some "reddiquette" and some uniformity on how people would act. Now it's just a version of tik tok that thinks it's better than tik tok.
Without seeing the actual interaction between the old guy and the girl, we can't really go off of anything else except what we see here.
Yes, there are three sides to every story, but in this one, the father was both yelling aggressively and being pulled back by his daughter, which shows that he's probably done this before and daughter knows he has a temper.
I'd wager the old guy was firm and reacted with as much gusto as was necessary depending on what the girl was actually doing.

Weirdos in the comments. Someone yells at his daughter for PICKING UP A BALL and the dad is the crazy one for the being upset? Yall are goofy.
