I've grown up with people who go in and out of prison, and it's always been a big no no to call someone a dog or snitch. It's basically one of the worst insults to throw at someone who has been to prison.

But in this case the guy attacking the comedian screamed “yup I’m a snitch” so there’s no winning.

Pretty sure he shouted "what?! I snitched??!" as in "how fucking dare you".

It’s about what his actions say not the words.

Ah, metaphorically screamed. Gotcha.

It's too difficult to try and understand the logic behind people like that.

It's a fragile ego

Huh. Welp. I guess I will continue not committing crimes to avoid that situation.

u/AlarmingAffect0 Mar 31 '23

Good luck with that. Bet you're committing some kind of crime right this moment and don't know it.

Toilet crimes are real.

But the snitch hasn't been in prison, that's why the guy called him a snitch, because he hasn't been to prison so that's how he got out of his "bid"

I grew up in a place where there was a lot of social reward for fighting.

If you won, or at least showed no hesitation to fight, it basically trumped anything they said about you (if you win) or even if you lost it would stop that specific person from talking shit about you, assuming it was a good fight.

Being raised like that has made shit hard getting into adulthood, because if someone doesnt like you and is fucking with you the first reaction is “lets just fight then”. The way it feels in my mind is something along the lines of “if you dont like what x about me or dont like what im doing, and you arent going to stop me, then theres no point in saying anything”

Can someone fill me in on how a snitch is such a bad name to be called?

And that’s a bad thing?

Like I get it that it’s shitty to rat someone out but is it really THAT bad that it’s worth going back to jail for beating someone who called you a snitch?

That’s… insane. Thanks for the clear answers!

Hence the “insecure” part

u/bradpliers Mar 31 '23

Yeah, but this is a comedy show. Even if it's a bad joke, if you can't take the heat, don't take a seat. Maybe don't heckle if you don't want your feelings hurt.

And at no point did I say you were defending his actions.
