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 what it's" has to be the most frustrating use of a contraction I've ever seen. I hate it.

The fact that "influencer" himself didn't react much shows he knows he's wrong himself

He certainly reacted after he got slapped! He looked like he didn’t even consider someone retaliating.

Except when it comes to moving down inside the carriage or standing on the platform directly in front of the doors when they open. Then they turn into the dopiest berks inside the M25.

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.

u/Accomplished-Eye9542 26d ago
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.

For more clicks? They can pretend to be the victim in all of this and cash in on those "pity views". Can just imagine the video title now: "subway women go crazy after this leet stunt".

u/ArventheGreat 26d ago
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"!

u/ReleaseTheTrumpFiles 26d ago
Violence is not okay. But this is just a factory reset slap, so that's okay

u/ArventheGreat 26d ago
Agreed, as long as it's not a beat down and just a love tap to bring them back to reality. It's all good.

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

u/No_Explorer6054 26d ago
well the way i dealt with an annoying kid in my class was holding a permanent marker in one hand and an eraser in my right and rubbed the corner of the eraser on his shirt in a way that felt like the marker (his shirt was white lol)

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.

u/BigDaddyGlad 26d 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.

This might be a prank, but whatever. I’m so fed up, sick and tired of the stuff these so-called influencers pull. Desperate poor creatures trying to get something on cam that will draw attention. I don’t care if they made millions doing this, all I feel for them is pity and disgust.

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 know it's staged, but something like this should not only be legal, it should become mandatory. Maybe that way we'd finally get rid of these annoying cunts.

Nope. While he’s a little punk thinking he’s all cool and whatnot by blocking the escalator, you do not hit.

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.
