I know I shared this earlier, but I noticed something odd. The comments section for this video is chock full of people- male and female- loudly and aggressively defending the consensual actions of the people in the video, specifically the instances of guys slapping girls. Things like wow, everybody is going so crazy in the comments over the guys hitting girls. Chill out, idiots!, Im a feminist, and I think this is fine. People are being so stupid in the comments. and The comments make me want to eradicate feminists. I figured this must be a bloody battlefield to elicit such a violent response, so I took it upon myself to read every singly comment in the thread. I found 3 instances of people objecting, two of whom were males saying they personally wouldnt be comfortable hitting a woman and one female saying she feels the video perpetuates domestic abuse (which I think is a bit of a stretch, but its her own opinion to have) By comparison, I found over 40 protests against the rampant evil satanic feminism that apparently ravaged the comments section, threatening the safety of the viewers and everything they held dear. Im all for defending controversial viewpoints from overzealous activists- its how we find a happy medium and avoid making a mockery of an important movement. But the stupidity being exercised here- the pre-emptive strike against feminazi commenters that apparently dont even exist- seriously concerns me. This is a reflection of the masses perception of feminism online, but also an example of how often that perception is overblown and just plain wrong. I guess the moral of the story is this: if youre going to rant about the comments, read the damn comments. As for my personal views of the video- I like it, think its entertaining and interesting, and blah blah Haley Joel Osment sees slapped people. https://youtube/watch?v=ninOz5ValUM
