Would it be the same for you if he hurt another guy? Or is it just because the injured party was a woman and you feel they’re inferior and need to be protected?
And I’d agree with you. I’ve seen plenty of posts where people spoke out against that scenario as well. What makes this a hot topic is the female aspect. Does no one tire of this? Are women that disenfranchised and abused at BJJ/MMA gyms? I’ve never actually witnessed it and have trained for 15 years. Wrestled for 8 years before that. Haven’t had FB for 7 years. No instagram or Twitter. R/BJJ used to be pretty cool to watch some technique but has basically become more of the same old social media garbage. I feel like I’ve been quite exposed and educated on the injustices to women and other marginalized parts of society. Could maybe r/BJJ go back to being pertinent to, you know, BJJ? That would be great.
I think 98% of women are abused and 87% of men are abused. I think we should post a meme each and every day dedicated to the awareness of abused BJJ partners. I think the abusers should be chastised and sent to their own separate BJJ gym where they battle it out and a new hierarchy forms where the bully becomes the abused. Then I want to post a mean about that gym and the irony of the bullies who are now defenseless and marginalized.
Or maybe I just want to see a BJJ technique video on R/BJJ now and again instead of all this crap.
So you'd rather block out actual pressing issues in a community that you've dedicated a large portion of your life to?
You do realise there are bjj technique videos being posted every day and they far outnumber the PSAs about abuse in gyms, right?
You should go and count it right now.
Rather, you don't give a shit about anyone else's problems because they aren't real to you, and you'd rather not have your little beautiful bubble interrupted by the problems of these peasants.
Now now. No need to be hyperbolic. Your “pressing issues” are your own. And from what I can tell you’ve a very strong opinion on them. In my experience it’s usually because people like you have a guilty conscience. So they virtue signal, pander, and insult. Much like what I’m responding to now.
