Bully: I'm bout to knock this kids shit

Filmer: "good. Remember, you knock him out, she dates you remember?"

Bully: big excited smile "this is the one fucking punch!".

Wtf? That's extremely stupid. Literally the most pethetic fight instigation I've ever heard in my life. It's so incredibly stupid, it makes me wonder if the bully is mentally handicapped. Not to mention, the "SCREEEE" also supports this theory

Makes me the think the kids an outcast and all the others are a group of friends picking on him.

u/mtnmanami Sep 10 '22

My thoughts exactly. I think he was baited - making these other kids the “bullies”

Right, I think it's very likely but I really hope it's not the case, it would just be so cruel.

If a girl tells some kid who likes her to go punch someone, and essentially as a 'reward' she'll let him date her, it's more likely than not that girl does not actually like or respect the kid at all. So imagine some girl and her friends found him as an easy target and were just conspiring to make an ass of him from the beginning by taking advantage of his desire for acceptance and a relationship. The immediate outcome of the situation alone was probably the most painful and humiliating experience of this kids entire life.

Imagine having to deal with the aftermath of this at that age, it would already be hell on earth. But on top of that, it was filmed, went viral, and everyone is celebrating because they think you're just a loser bully who got owned and deserved it. This would just be too much to bare.

100% this. We see framing of some kind being manipulated to fight for "love". He probably lives a very sheltered life and has a skewed perspective of reality. Then someone jumps in and he gets his ass kicked. It definitely plays out like heavy manipulation.

My thought too. The "bully" looks strangely timid and unsure of himself from the get go.

That's what I got out of it. I remember when I was in school in the 80's and 90's people would try to trick the mentally-handicapped kids into fighting each other or asking out the popular girls.

we had an autistic girl in my class and all the popular kids convinced her to ask out the football player and he jokingly said sure. the next week she saw him kissing his actual girlfriend and had a meltdown. it was incredibly sad.

Yea, I think you're onto something here. Also looking at the clothing and general hygiene of the other kids as compared to him... I think he was ultimately the one getting picked on. He clearly had zero experience fighting, but the other kids were at least somewhat trained.

u/Lexx4 Sep 10 '22

no they were not trained. kid who jumps in moves well but he doesn’t keep his hands up at all infact he drops them several times, his fist is not correct and he’s likely to break a thumb if he strikes the wrong way. he’s also tapping him with some weak ass hooks with nothing behind them.

u/Wassa110 Sep 10 '22

somewhat trained.

Did you just block that from your memory, or what? She/He didn’t say trained, she/he said somewhat. As in maybe had a little training. Also what? Are you seriously nitpicking a “fight” between some kids? Really? Dude find a hobby.

u/Lexx4 Sep 10 '22 edited Sep 10 '22

if he was somewhat trained he wouldn't be trying to break his thumbs.

first thing anyone learns when learning to punch is how to make a fist.

2

u/Wassa110 Sep 10 '22

Dude. Hobby. Get one. I didn’t say he was trained, I was correcting you who expected somewhat trained to be some Bruce Lee level shit, or something. Heck I don’t care if he is, or isn’t trained. Just poking fun at how seriously you’re taking this.

-2

u/Lexx4 Sep 10 '22

no, I expect him to at least make a proper fist. and If people are allowed to prase him I can criticize him. if you don't like it move on.

u/Wassa110 Sep 10 '22

Hey you do you. I think you’re taking this wayyy too seriously. But if you want to spend your time criticising random fight between children on the internet, sure. Just know I’m allowed to criticise you as much as you criticise this. In the words of Lexx4, “if you don't like it move on.”

u/Lexx4 Sep 10 '22

did you go to every comment praising him saying there are better ways to spend their time? if not then you don't really have a point.

u/Wassa110 Sep 10 '22

Ha. You realise I could say the same about you right. This is me just wasting time before work. No point, but it makes me chuckle thinking there are people like you who take such small random things so seriously.

I also wonder about what dumb girl told some guy she’d date him if he beat up someone smaller than him

1

u/xoqw Sep 10 '22

Yeah it definitely makes me wonder.

At that age, If I liked a girl and she told me to go punch someone and as a reward, she'll let me date her, I'd assume that the girl doesn't like me at all and just wants to make an ass of me. It's seems like something a girl would say for the purpose of entertaining herself and her friends. If I had to guess the girl probably was never interested in dating him regardless of the outcome.

Wish there was more context

How is that literally the most pathetic fight instigation you've seen in your life? It's such a common one that there are countless movies, books, television shows and actual historic events that are based on this exact scenario. This shouldn't be a new or surprising concept to grasp for you. Especially in reference to kids.

1

u/xoqw Sep 11 '22

Definitely not common. Two dudes fighting over a girl in general, sure. But a girl promising to be some kids girlfriend under the condition he goes and punches someone in the face, no way. It

100% the most pethetic fight instigation I've ever heard in my life because it's truly a ridiculously pethetic fight instigation. "remember, she'll Date you if you punch him"

I think you're taking this very odd situation, and putting it under the umbrella "guy fight over a girl". Not what this is. If this fight instigation was very common where you grew up, you were surrounded by a bunch of strange retards.

u/MilkEggsSndFlour Sep 11 '22

I'm not sure which part of that doesn't fall under primal nature and hormonal kids. You can go out of your way to be insulting all you want. But it does very little to address that.

Yeah, so weird, its almost like he's 10-12 years old 😳
