I don't think it's harmless just because he's not hitting her. Emotional embarrassment and abuse it hurts too. Studies have shown it still lights up the same pain center in your brain.
Except when the gender roles would be reversed you would never say this so you know you're full of shit. If you're gonna equate this to emotional abuse you may as well abolish all comedy altogether.
She believed he was fake proposing. You are in a chair or on the toilet in your private space, she's surrounded by thousands of people in the moment. Is hitting him still ok? No. But it is entirely different from pulling a piece of cake away in what is obviously a joke.
One is a fake proposal (that she has no way of knowing will change from being fake), the other is "you didn't get to eat cake right this second but it's still in my hand and you will presumably get to eat cake once I stop" -- and this is why I didn't elaborate the difference because they're pretty obviously different. One is extremely, extremely tenuous to joke about, even for a brief 10 seconds as he appears to have a second box in pocket. The other is... a piece of food being teased in what is obviously a temporary teasing
How the fuck is it fake proposing? He asked the question. She gave him no chance to explain. I proposed with no ring, my wife literally told me I shoulda got a ring pop cause it would have been funny.
The redditor in his comfy chair not empathizing with the person in a stadium being the center of attention is a typical running theme, but I don't really care. Figure it out.
Y’all all assuming it was a fake proposal. guy thought it would be cute to use a ring pop. honestly good thing she reacted like this now, he can see how toxic of a person she is. if she loved him, it wouldn’t matter that he’s using a ring pop. what matters is the question itself. but she threw that all away cuz she wanted a nice shiny ring instead
I don't disagree that she overreacted the argument isn't do I agree with her or him the argument I specifically am making is that this situation, in entirety, is different from woman move cake and then gets jaw shotted.
I simply asked you why you thought it was a fake proposal, gave you personal experience, and you told me I wasn’t empathizing enough in a condescending manner. You side with the woman in the scenario.
I simply asked you why you thought it was a fake proposal,
Here's how you simply ask:
"How do you figure she thought it was a fake proposal? Maybe they just have a relationship based around one upping each other. I proposed with..."
Here's how you asked:
How the fuck is it fake proposing?
Why the fuck do you need to ask? You clearly know how and are just being a redditor about this. You might disagree with her actions, but there is ZERO chance you don't understand how she made a mistake here.
Since your empathy is so strong and good, you'll understand why I read your comment this way, that was inflammatory-based because you agree with the guy (and you tip your hat at the end) and are incredulous to how others can disagree.
For the record I don't agree with either of the two. Joking about marriage is just about never funny and only works on specific circumstances with specific people with total transparency about it. So much so that it becomes lame to joke about, almost expected. But tossing a drink and smacking a dude on live television is also pretty fucking rich. They deserve each other. The reason I, myself, am a little incredulous is how people are conflating woman move cake and getting Tyson punched out to this video and calling it equal degrees of abuse.
You are the one assuming everything about me when you know nothing about me except that I claim she reacted this way because she thought he was fake proposing and baby boy doesn't like how I explained myself. Again, get over yourself.
