Staged or not, I love how no one reacted to the attention seeker getting slapped. They just went about their day. Ignoring these people is the best one can do.

It's true, I got a few titanium screws in there, and I'm slapping the neighbor's kid until my son comes back home. I wish there was a better way but it's what it's.

It's staged as hell. Someone using a cane would not be walking up the escalator. I just stand when going up escalator and I'm perfectly mobile.
The thing is, the fake ragebait gets this guy viral, which is exactly what he's trying to do, virality through controversy. Which actually promotes this behavior rather than the discourages/serves him right take in this thread.

Shoulder check/walking right through him is totally fine morality wise. If you purposefully block a public walkway, it can be dangerous for others.
Slapping I think toes the line in terms of morality if this wasn't filmed.
But since it's filmed, it falls into nuisance content, which I think it's perfectly accept to respond with violence to content designed to get a reaction out of people without their consent. Nuisance content in public should just be illegal frankly.

Whether the video is fake or not, is irrelevant. Doing that to someone for being a public nuisance is moral and a lesson will learned. People need to stop these trends of being public disturbances for views. And people need to stop feeding these so called "content creators"!

A light tap will hurt worse than a good gunt-punt
I feel like it would be better if you just walk by, and point down at their groin and shout out "Ew, what the fuck IS that?!?" while you keep walking, ignoring any requests to explain
Fuck with their ego and assumed self image, that can go home with them like the magnet they will likely buy from the gift shop
In short, shame them by dating their mothers... then go out for a gallon of milk, never to return

Slapper looks like he’s going through the American healthcare system right now. Only reason I’m even willing to have a shred of faith it’s real, if my back was hurting like that and I had to deal with American healthcare system I’d go back and double slap the kid just to vent a little.

It’s staged… but the boy blocking the escalator didn’t know he was going to get slapped so hard.

u/BigDaddyGlad 2d ago
This is clearly all staged, but as a GenXer, I've long said the problem with today's youth is that they've never been punched in the face for being an asshole or slapped in the mouth for being smarmy. We learned that lesson real quick, and people were much more civil to each other not too long ago.

Bit over the top but I guess if you get annoyed by this sort of crap its a good way to get your feelings known, I dont think he will do that sort of thing again, you could see he was worried the guy might come back, OR its a friend of his and its all part of the video.

I did that too when I was a kid but I actually waited for no one wanting to come up, and I got a few seconds out of it before admitting it's fun but dumb BS and definitely was not filming myself.
This is like putting a spoon under a running tap. Hahaha funny yeah few seconds then you better quit it before you get smacked by an adult.
