As long as white knight GAF continues to see this as an issue of misogyny, this discussion wont end.
Yeah, you're an idiot.
Hilarious or Awful?: What is your first reaction to this image?

Dude shouldn't have overreacted but I completely get the why of the situation based on what I seen. You think in a image based culture some men will let that slide especially in our post feminist age environment? This could've been avoided if both parties knew how to fucking handle being drunk. Don't start none won't be none!

The leg sweep wasn't apparently misogyny, but the reactions are full of it. The "walk away" crowd is full of shit, but he went waaaay too far.
Reminds me of this thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=362240
Guy messes up woman's life: "Awesome!"
Woman keys car: "Kill the bitch"
Granted, that was only some people, but it was a pretty horrible double-standard.
Likewise, responding to somebody by knocking the onto concrete is overkill, especially when you are much stronger (regardless of gender).

Ouch is right. I've split my dome open and it's really not that fun.
Didn't watch the full vid but she must be a frequent visitor to hcwdb.

This isn't a case of chivalry... drink to face =/= physical violence.
Not an appropriate response on his part. Just like sweeping the leg =/= getting stabbed in spine.

There are very few people in the thread defending her behavior. He could charge her with assault for throwing the drink but then all the tough guys in this thread would call him a pussy.

As were you, I assume?
If you wanted to respond to my initial post, then you could have done so without posting a blanket statement along with a stupid picture that had nothing whatsoever to do with what I said.
So yeah, you're an idiot.
laserbeam said:
Did you watch the vid. What he did was a non event, something not even worth discussing. She escalated it by throwing the drink in his face
This isnt a lesson in man vs woman, this is a lesson in common sense. If a dude bigger than me is gettin in my face, I ain't throwin my drink at him. She did it only because of female invincibility where men cant retaliate and women can do whatever the fuck they want.
That said, when you really look at the situation she could have gotten hurt badly, and thats not cool. But you can tell that he was thinkin of away to attack without really injuring, cuz who the hell goes for the leg sweep. If that was a dude he would have gotten clocked or grabbed
Sometimes people need to be taught that there are fuckin consequences for what you do. I would have chucked her in the pool instead.

Then he swept her because "people need to be taught that there are fuckin consequences for what you do."

It's not a wrong thing to do, but it's wrong to expect it. He loses all face in that situation.
Not that beating up a girl is a lot better.
Guy shouldn't have it done it. Really, this is a lose-lose situation. You can either walk away and look like a bitch or retaliate and look like a piece of shit. Walking away is the best yo ucna do there, unless I guess her boyfriend is there and you beat hi mup over the whole tihng.
Now I haven't read every page, but did he actually get killed afterwards because of this?

If what we're seeing is all there is....then it's pretty simple..
If you step up to someone like a man, expect to get treated like a man. Don't go there, if you don't like where you'll end up.
IMO, I'm sure there's more to this video clip then what we're seeing. My first reaction wasn't that it was funny, but the leg sweep was clever because the guy knew he couldn't punch her.

People have different level of tolerances. Could I see how someone would walk away from that situation? sure. But I can also see where some would choose to engage.
There's no point, your post was irrelevant nonsense that hinges on an assumption not everyone will share. which means you're only bound to convince people who have already bought into your beleif system. thats not how you make an argument.LocoMrPollock said:
The people who think the .gif is awful could build a solid argument if they would just drop the 'but...but...but she's a woman!' part of their argument. Ignore gender and attack the escalation of violence as a response to conflict resolution. women are people too you know, they aren't helpless and most of your argument relies on exaggerating physical differences between the sexes when in truth the relative differences between men and women are less then the variation between two women or two men.
heck, if you cared enough you could probably farm that 'post funny videos of people getting beat up' thread for ammunition against specific users.
so.. yeah. I wasn't on the debate team [chess club for life!] but i actually agree with most of the people who have a problem with the video. it's just that people like you are doing it wrong and poisoning the well the rest of us have to drink from.

What the fuck is this supposed to mean. Is this supposed to be a witty way of suggesting that no one should do anything in situations because in your fantasy land there are no consequences?
Admittedly, he got a little too physical as I mentioned. Something provoked her into being the grade A bitch she was being, and that ended up provoking the dude. Sure, he's supposed to rise above the situation like an angel, think straight even while probably drunk as well, and not respond as she did. But he did. And I can't feel too bad about it since she probably wasnt seriously hurt in the end, which is clearly what he was planning by using the leg sweep. More shocked than anything probably

I posted earlier about that. If you do choose to engage in such a situation expect to get into a brawl after with her friends/bf/random white knight/etc. Don't go in think you're gonna hit her and then be able to run out of there. Man up.

It's not simply because she's a woman. It was a confrontation he was confident he could win. I'm sure he would have acted the same way with anyone smaller/weaker than he was. There's not much crazy about that. It actually shows some decent judgment on his part. It is crazy when people try to take out someone 2-3x's their size/strength. That's stupid in my book.
Future said:
It's a witty way of suggesting that every individual step is justified to those involved and there's an arbitrary distinction being made. They argued, he touched her, she threw a drink, he swept her. The whole thing seems stupid to me but a lot of people are drawing a circle around one segment and proclaiming "That's justice!"

Apologizing is wrong when she's the one being aggressive and throwing her drink in his face. Walking away isn't.

I sent this .gif to a friend of mine and he didn't really find it funny.
What was your INITIAL reaction to the image? I laughed-- I'd never ever ever attack a woman, but it was funny to me. He didnt laugh-- although he said he could see how one could find it funny.
Where do you all stand?
I don't find it offensive, but I didn't laugh or even crack a smile at it. It leaves me totally indifferent.

I see a disturbing lack of consideration about his douchebag sunglasses. This seriously changes the equation.
Plus, in the video he initiated contact, you can hardly blame her for retaliating.
Still, I'd chalk it up to an unfortunate encounter between a douche and a douchette, but the high-fives between the bitter virgins here is disturbing.

We don't know what happened before, but the guy is grabbing for her, that's what makes her really escalate and ultimately throw the drink. People who act liek she's just provoking this guy out of nowhere are missing/ignoring this.
This thread is a trainwreck.
Reading all the responses I'm like "man, society has a long way to go." Then seeing that all the juniors support the guy, makes me think "society has actually gone backwards."
That girl could have been killed. There's been countless cases of people hitting their head on concrete and suffering bleeding of the brain and being brain damaged or dying.
Hell, without even looking at the fact it's a girl, the dude escalated the situation way beyond where it should have been. He's clearly a coward picking up someone he knew he'd be able to beat.

Y'know I wish to also amend my amendment. I wouldn't have 300'd her into the pool...
Side Russian Leg Sweep with a Twist into the pool!
That way I stick my groin in her face and we both get wet.
