    That’s what I’m talking about, just keep escalating untill someone draws a gun!! Pride and ego RULEZZZ!! FUCK YEAH, VIOLENCE! /s

    Why in the flying fuck would you ever care what some fuckstick in the opposite team shouted at you or your friends? Responding to words on the field with violence is so fucking dumb and this whole appreciation thread feels even dumber. Just shout back that his mom was a whore in retaliation if you really need to reciprocate, and then proceed to score more points than the opposite team.

      Words are what ruined this country; made a generation of Christians hateful of empathy and compassion.

      I am tired of words being viewed as universally humble and peaceful. They are rarely so strong as to deserve violent retribution, but rare is not never.

        And if they always did get punched in the mouth maybe the world would be just a little less fucked up than it is.

          When they get away with it from the start, they do not learn the important lessons. Kids need to be taught these things, when they are little, so they do not become fucking assholes, who start insulting, and even assaulting other people in the first place. But once they are past that, the sooner someone gives them some immediate consequences, the sooner they are going to learn the important lessons - the hard way. Obviously violence should always be avoided, but at some point, if they get away with it long enough, it becomes the only thing bullies understand.

          Also, if someone bullies you, defend yourself from the start, even if you get trouble for it. It makes them more likely to choose another target and maybe even stop bullying, and keeps your self-respect intact. And that last part matters a lot, especially considering how the bullying will affect you in long-term.

            Yeah, that would be much worse than the world we live in now. Where everyone who can, just enslaves and coerces people for 8 hours a day, regardless of whether they violate their moral standards. (/s)

            The amount of violence already normalized in this world, is enormous. Calling someone a “fucking whore”, is a serious gendered insult, in a world that seriously allows and ignores the assault, rape, and murder of women, as well as their economical life being lived on a short leash. He was reminding her her place.

            But when the violence is turned against the not-woman, don’t worry, institutions will be there right away! (/s)

            All violence is violence, don’t selectively ignore shit.

      Pacifism is surrender to every bully you’ll ever encounter. Teaching kids horseshit like this is how you make a generation of slaves who’ll never revolt. Which explains why every kid is repeatedly told that violence is bad and only bad people are violent (except the cops and soldiers, because state-sanctioned violence is different).

      May you and every other person who disapproves of this kid’s actions never again know any peace you haven’t had to fight for and don’t constantly have to fight to defend.

      Are you… Not familiar with hockey? It’s a very physical sport where fighting is often allowed by referees. Even at levels where they don’t tolerate fighting, it’s still very very physical.

      It’s a violent team sport. To the point where teams have “enforcers” who are specifically used to retaliate against the other team when they do something fucked.

      Nobody has ever drawn a gun on the ice, that I’m aware of. Usually a fight is enough to get it out of their system. There’s no reason to believe this would ever escalate to gun violence, it’s just an accepted (and possibly integral) aspect of the sport.

        In hockey, fighting exists to enact justice when the refs fail to achieve that. Usually it’s for missed calls or intentional harm. It’s my personal opinion that calling an underage girl a whore is verbally abusive which translates to intentional harm enough to justify beating the brakes off that little fucker. The refs should’ve thrown the insulter out for that shit, and if that were my daughter, I’d be after that ref’s job for doing nothing AND punishing the kid who had the courage that the ref didn’t. Yeah, the kid sucks, but his behavior is the product of bad parenting and a lack of education and discipline; that ref should’ve fucking known better.

          If you think calling someone a name during a competitive sport is intentional harm, then you probably shouldnt partake in any sports. Its also pretty clear that most of the reason you are upset is because the “victim” was a girl. If you replace the story with a boy, the reaction you have is entirely different, isnt it?

            1. These are children. That shit is unacceptable.
            2. Who said I play sports?
            3. Yeah, I guess I feel like there is a difference between calling a girl a whore and calling a boy a whore, and it’s because the intention is different. Both are wrong because, again, these are children, but yeah I think it’s significantly more socially and psychologically damaging for a young girl to have that word thrown at them. I don’t know for sure, but I’m capable of attempting to check my male privilege to empathize with the experience, and maybe that’s because I have friends who have stories about being treated so creepily by boys and men and even weird ass women bringing up sexual shit with them and about them while they were children. The normalization of that is fucking bonkers, and it’s gross to try to defend it.

              Well I just disagree with 3 altogether, but if you really believe its harder for women to deal with insults than men, I’m not sure what I can say to convince you otherwise.
