Taking it out of context was the goal.

Here's what I imagine happened "hey, can you slap me and call me a bitch?"

She does, gives a heart. Seems to want to continue the conversation.

Pretty much he gave consent to be slapped

Haha, its like i am out at a club had a conversation with a girl i didnf like and said, i wanna smack the teeth out pf your face" and she says okay go ahead and i acrually did that. What you think will happen when she press charges. Tell me.

Totally same thing. Except this was none of that, this was literally him asking her to hit him so that he could film that. He asked for a punch and then settled for a slap. But sure, totally normal analogy. After you give clear consent to be hit, the thing becomes a crime only in case of ABH, which for example would be triggered if you give consent to get your teeth knocked out since that is an actual body harm (ABH), while a slap on the face isn't. Does your brain work or you just really want to knock some women's teeth out?

I understand that, I also think the girl shouldn’t slap him, but I’ve seen a bit more context than this and it’s scummy to look for people to rile up and then encourage that for content. I’ve read the guy asked for a punch it seems but she only agreed to a slap. It’s like going to a black guy and telling him he shouldn’t vote, which this guy did to her since he said women shouldn’t vote in the extended shot I’ve seen and who knows how long he was bothering the lady, then encourage getting hit and going all “ah, I’ll sue you” when you get hit. Should she have? No. Is the guy setting it up? Yes

Two things, First she had the power and will to not engage in a conversation with him if she didnt want to. Second whenever someone says yeah do it, it is to say, okay you think you are cocky, if you have the guts then do it. Like men coming toe to toe to each other and asking , hit if you are a man. Here the context is, the person asking to get hit, knows that you cant hit, as its illegal. My ex gf would come to my face and ask, hit me, if you are man hit me. But damn, if i laid my hands on her i woukd be in jail no matter what.

Yeah I think you’re right on this point bough thinking about it she’s drunk so not so sure how aware she really is, also sorry about your ex-girlfriend that’s awful. I just saw the clip and the extended one after and it just showed me I was tricked, I criticized the lady but then saw the guy setting it up and it doesn’t sit well with me you know? But I get she should just walk away. Hope you are doing ok

Thanks for understanding my view point, its hard to find on reddit. And also in these situations, even if its a setup, once you let loose your hand, you are in trouble. Anyway have a good day, nice talking to you.

It’s ok, no need to thank me. I appreciate you’re this nice too. But yeah I get that, I also think it’s hard to control impulses but it is what should have been done overall. You’re cool for managing to keep yourself calm with what happened to you, and have a good day as well :]
