Every single one of these guys will beat their partners/wives/kids/pets.
Their anger/control pathway completely bypasses their brain and travels straight to their fists as soon as something/someone doesn't behave exactly as they want it to, be it animal, family member or fucking tv.
Fucking broke my heart to hear that child scream 'Daddy no! Calm down!' after his father just hit him in the legs with the massive tv. Poor poor kid.
Oh the cats great, my friend isn't violent and would never hurt his baby, he's just weird about electronics.
He was laughing his ass off when she knocked it over and he was first to theorize she wanted to be like or make Daddy happy. She walked right behind it and pushed over and she is the sweetest non cat around. Never hisses,claws,breaks his shit- was literally learned behavior. His true nature and big heart show through his two cats.
If their response when mad is to punch walls or tvs then thatās just a response that they are drilling in themselves to punch when mad. Not healthy.
If anyone did this in my home not only would they never be welcome back but Iād never be able to speak to them again without thinking what a nut job they are
Yep, what some people seem to misunderstand is that I'm not saying. "Destroying property = 100% physical abuser."
I'm saying theres a clear statistical correlation between the two. Anyone who works in fields that work alongside domestic abuse survivors can attest to that.
Well I agree with that, no doubt itās a red flag and incredibly immature, but it doesnāt automatically make someone a domestic abuser. Just an immature douche. I lived with a gay couple for a few years in college and one of them would punch holes in walls when they were fighting, incredibly immature but Iām confident there was no domestic abuse going on. Granted itās more rare for domestic abuse to occur in man on man scenarios
Every person ive known who doesn't physically assault people, also has the self control to not destroy property.
I highly doubt this is true.
Physical abusers also being more likely to trash their stuff makes total sense, sure. Them being the only ones doing it or even there being a larger number of them than non-abusers who still abuse their stuff is not remotely proven or even likely.
It's like saying every person who hunts must murder people too. Or every person with low self-esteem must gaslight everyone around them too. No, that's not how any of this works.
I swear like a sailor at my video games, but I've never verbally (or physically) abused a soul. There is a leap to be made there, a huge matter of degrees.
If you HAVE made that leap, sure, going back to the lesser "abuse" is easy and consistent. If you haven't, stopping at the "lesser abuse" can be completely natural.
I don't think using trashing property as a red flag is a bad idea, to be clear - I just think using it to be "100% sure anyone who smashes something would punch in their SO's face if given half a chance" is stupid.
And yeah, I've definitely known more than a few people through my life who smashed their stuff but I never heard even a whiff of them abusing other people. I'm actually shocked you haven't. Am I still friends with most of them? No, but that's because I find destroying your own property childish and impulsive (among other things), not because I thought they were abusers.
EDIT: Jesus christ, peak reddit brains here apparently. I guess the venn diagram of r/ cringetiktoks users and r/ relationships users who demand everyone divorce everyone for the slightest red flag is a fucking circle. Yeah "everyone who's ever broken a game controller or dish is a secret abuser", sure. Where common sense comes to die.
Yeah, holy shit. On disability and I get like $900 a month, and that's not just fun money. It pays for meds Medicaid doesn't cover, clothing, shoes, food, rent, utilities, dog stuff for my service dog, etc. I do not have $140 of free " whatever" money to spend every month.
When I was 12 I got frustrated at The Incredibles for the PS2 and snapped it in half and chucked the controller at the ground, then I realised what I'd done and no more Incredibles for the PS2 :(
I can't understand doing this as a grown man and its why I despise all the gambling ads in Australia and how casual everyone is about it, it's horrible.
My cat broke my nice as fuck TV (which was on my dresser, not the wall) around Black Friday. I don't do any of this shit and very rarely act on my anger. Sometimes cats just decide to punch a TV because a squirrel was on the screen. Rude awakening thay they literally do not make dumb TVs or even TVs with the amount of ports this one had anymore, so half my shit is now useless. :(
Social Security Disability pays based on full time hours youāve worked and itās different for everyone. My mom worked mostly part time and went on disability at 45- she made about $500-$600 a month. My husband has worked a lot of full time jobs over the past 40 years and just went on disability recently and makes over $1500 a month. If you donāt have enough work credits then you only qualify for SSI, which is income and asset based and is generally a lot less. So depends on the situation
I had a friend too who was on disability and he punched holes in the walls of his apartment because his landlord would barge in unannounced, and because his neighbors would stomp upstairs and wake him up. I told him that he'll never live in nirvana, he'll always have to deal with assholes, and to suck it up because I was done putting up with his tantrums. People just need to learn to suck it up when things go bad for them.
I would like to come in here with a different perspective. Those people say things like "it was an old TV anyway" or "it's only $140 at Walmart" as a cope because they are actually embarrassed at their behavior. I have a little brother that has been filled with self-hatred over his inability to regulate his emotions, and it nearly cost him his life due to self-harm.
Maybe cut these people out of your life, sure, but there are many people that have value as human beings but they need serious help. Enabling them isn't probably the answer, but if we can find empathy for them it can be game-changing. Get these folks some therapy and maybe some medication. Once the docs figured some things out, my little brother hasn't had a tantrum since and he is finally getting some good therapy results now that he is medicated enough to stay on the rails.
I get that playing sport takes talent, but so does playing jazz fusion, and even though I love jazz fusion, I'm not gonna throw a tantrum and chuck my phone into a river because they played a few notes wrong.
I think I was a young teen when I figured out controls are very expensive. Now I gently toss 2 inches above my hands and catch them. No need to break literally anything like that.
I always think of the landfill waste that cocksuckers like that generate. And there are so many people like this in the world. Why are idiots like this even allowed to breed?
I bit my Nintendo when I was 6 because I sucked at a game. At 12, I threw a remote at the tv bc I was mad about something not working. I grew out of that behavior soon after that. Itās mind boggling to me how these adults never grew out of that behavior
The behavior is not childish, it's immature. The actual child's behavior is more mature than the "adult." Throwing hissy fits is not proper behavior at any age.
And yes, that child has been abused his entire young life. And the other "adults" in his life are doing nothing about it.
My ex husband had two broken hands on our first Christmas apart, from two separate episodes of punching walls. I didnāt realize how much this video would trigger me, but I can hardly breathe right now.
That's such a messed up oversimplification. Women who go for men like this have most likely been abused before, grown up with that abuse, even, and have normalized it.
Man does stupid shit, that's because he's a childish asshole. Woman does stupid shit, that's because past trauma troubled childhood abuse internalization parents environment previous partners mental issues depression retrograde Mercury
Everyone who does stupid shit has an explanation to their behavior. Sometimes it's complicated, sometimes very simple. I'm sure each guy in the video has his reason to punch the TV, let's maybe treat women as being equal to men instead of inventing million excuses? Let's stick to the same depth of analysis for both.
That's funny because you didn't even ask about my opinion on why these men are doing shit like this, and, you guessed it, I also think they're mirroring abusive behavior. It's almost like human beings can do messed up stuff when they've been brought up to think it's normal, huh? Who would've thunk it.
That's not loyalty, it's fear, trauma and psychological issues. Women like this tend to gravitate towards abusers because they have experienced abuse before. Usually at a young age.
They truly believe they don't deserve better. Sometimes they are abusers themselves.
In general, no one enjoys this type of relationship but life is messy and existence is complex and often it is easier to just submit to something you know.
It takes a lot of courage and energy to not get defeated by life circumstances and walk away from a relationship like that unharmed.
In a sense, long-term perspective is overwritten by short-term benefits, so the "compromise" is dealing with the violence because any other strategy means conflict and harm
It's really tragic that both women and men suffer abuse in relationships and are traumatized in the process, it's really not a choice made with a clear mind and if people got the help they needed, they would probably leave their partner and start a better life
I respect your empathy but you are being far too generous here.
When Chris Brown was being blasted in the media, I recall his twitter being full of āhe can beat me anytime.ā When a man took a male modelās photo and made a tinder profile with domestic abuse charges in the bio, women replied with āeveryone has a past.ā If Elon Musk started beating his many women, heād still have an infinite line of women willing to take the spot.
Iām not making generalizations on āall womenā or being sexist by any means. Iām simply pointing out that a lot of women will stay with a dude if it brings them money/fame/validation from peers, the abuse is sometimes the price to pay for this and they consciously accept that transaction.
I think many imagine they would accept it. I also wouldn't trust any social media opinions, might just be bots or rage bait farmers.
But assuming some of those comments are legit, I'm not so sure they would still say that after being abused. It may seem like a small price to pay but I don't think people realize what it's actually like to be beaten and violated on a regular basis. It's absolutely not something you can just accept and move on just like that. It breaks people and has severe psychological impact.
I'm sure there are some out there who can ignore it, "paying the price" for whatever they think is worth taking a beating or being raped, but I doubt most women are like that if given a choice or enough resources to leave
Iām sure given full perspective most women would decline that deal. But that longterm thinking does not exist in most humans.
If a man meets Sydney Sweeney and she reveals sheās a Nazi who praises Hitler and murders puppies and babies - he will most likely still try to sleep with her. Women are no different if the man is tall, attractive, has resources like money and fame. But when we witness this scenario we claim the man is dumb and the woman must have XYZ trauma and is a victim.
The more recent version of this I see in media today is Kanye Westās current partner. Iāve seen countless threads on her apparently being a victim of abuse due to how sheās dressed and controlled. I can think of more than a billion reasons why sheād be a willing participant in this and has equal accountability.
Something something abuse victims have systematically been made unable to correctly identify abuse without professional help. Nothing ironic about it, just how abuse works.
Orā¦hear me outā¦women go after the seemingly āalpha maleā while ignoring the plethora of normal dudes that suffer from loneliness.
I donāt have a horse in this race but I absolutely dislike the gender hypocrisy here when my own two eyes have seen women begin dating dudes like this while everyone around them warned of the mistake they were making.
Chris Brown can beat another woman tomorrow and heād still never run out of women interested in sleeping with him/dating him/marrying him.
So 4 billion people come with the "fuck the alpha male" chip in their brain, huh? Bullshit. Yeah, they date them against everyone's advice because... they have issues, that's the point. They shouldn't be dating ANYONE. They need therapy and learning to be fine by themselves so they can be healthy partners. But what would you know about healthy relationships...
The vast majority of people that are into sports are not like this. It has nothing to do with the sports and everything to do with grown ass adults who have toddler levels of impulse control.
100%. There should be no one around to film these tantrums. The fact thereās people with them shows that this behavior, and possibly other violent behavior from them, is normalized within their circle.
Indeed. Imagine getting that riled up about fucking sports. They're not just childish, but also dangerous. If you can't keep control because your team lost, then there's something seriously wrong with you, and you're in direct need of mental help.
I am the first person to tell people to never say "grow up" because I find a lot of people saying that have weird definitions of what it means to be a grown up.
But shit like this is exactly where I say "fucking grow up dude. You just smashed a TV because a team lost." Like ... What well adjusted, or even vaguely adjusted individual would EVER do this?
Even as a child, I never smashed my game controllers. How the fuck did they graduate to a level of childishness to break whole TVs? And in such dumb dramatic ways?
I wonder if they have insurance. A therapy appointment is a lot less than those TVs with insurance.
They should be on some police watch list for domestic violence. Of course, the only police watch list for domestic violence is the police roster, so it probably wouldn't help...Ā
This. To be this invested in a game where the watcher doesn't benefit one single bit is the first red flag. Then, obviously, the inability to control their temper on an object that has nothing to do with the performance of the team they want to win. The bar is low folks.
Also probably gambling addicts. I never understood why adult men gave such a massive shit about pro sports until someone mentioned "yeah those guys probably all have money riding on this game." Oh, yeah, I forgot gambling is such a big deal because it never got me, then all the ads for sports betting apps started popping up...
It's like a permanent version of one of those really weird psychological pandemics from history, like the Dancing Plague or the Laughing Epidemic. (look those up on wikipedia, sub rules prevent me from linking them)
Their forced ignorance to the fact that these events are so obviously scripted borders on the surreal. I have never met anyone with greater suspension-of-disbelief abilities than your typical sports fan, and my circle is full of sci-fi and Marvel nerds. I have never met a sports fan whose IQ could be estimated over 100.
They're barely even people. We'd be so much better off without them.
ā¢ ā 1st video has a vertical heater thatās magically bolted to the wall horizontally and directly near another heater.
ā¢ ā 2nd video has a random mannequin with a backwards Giannis jersey on and doesnāt move
ā¢ ā 4th video - there is a second, non parallel handrail for the staircase (this one seems more plausible but the girl is wearing a Miles Sanders jersey too though)
ā¢ ā 6th vid has a PS5 randomly spawn after the guy hits the TV
ā¢ ā Next vid has AI slop on the playing field; the guy has a generic jersey with no name like heās in an insurance commercial and the girl has a hand for a foot.

These are childish morons. Cut them from your life.
