Someone proposed with a Ring Pop at a Toronto Blue Jays game and got slapped

Test applied, red flag and abuse resulted. He dogged a bullet. I think he knows.

WeEatBabies · 2022-10-03T17:13:58+00:00

He dodged a bullet! He has his whole life as a free man ahead of him!

Finally some positivity and good news on this sub :D

In the event this wasn't staged, I have the utmost confidence that this person was charged for assaulting another person. When it's obvious/proof reaches police, the state absolutely can pick up charges without the victim being the one to press them.. Surely the fact it was a woman assaulting a man means nothing more or less than if it had been reversed, right?

^surely

ketsa3 · 2022-10-03T16:47:24+00:00

is all staged for the cameras.

traveller1976 · 2022-10-03T14:52:14+00:00

Funny depending on your perspective, but IMHO this dude totally wasted his time and dignity. She's definitely not worth a ring pop.

duhhhh · 2022-10-03T14:59:02+00:00

Hopefully he now understands how she deals with conflict and knows to never ever ever give her the real thing. Assault ain't cool.

My wife loved her ring pop.

Algoresball · 2022-10-03T23:46:07+00:00

There is a good chance that this was a bit

The obvious thing about this is the application of the double standard being applied.

People say that the woman was justified in her violence because the man publically humiliated her.

First off, women publically humiliate men all the fkn time - throwing shitfits, falsely accusing them of harrassment to get them kicked out of a bar or club, it's a daily occurrence.

I wonder if the people who think the woman was justified in assaulting that man think it would be OK for a man to assault a woman who publically humiliated him.

Look people, if you ever have an inkling that your take on an issue might be biased, just switch the genders/races/participants around and see how it plays.

Here is a situation that many people think is OK:

Man publically humiliates woman, woman hits man publically.

Conclusion: Man deserved it, move along, nothing to see here.

Here is your litmus test to see if your conclusion above is a bad or biased take:

Woman publically humiliates man, man hits woman publically.

Conclusion: ???

Every single person looking at this knows good and well that if the guy had struck the woman, eleventy billion people and cops would have jumped on him and beat the shit out of him before arresting him and charging him with felony domestic violence charges. So don't fucking sit here and tell me that she was justified in doing what she did with no repercussions when we ALL fucking know what would have happened if the guy did what she did.

Now the comparison is simple and easy for almost anyone to apply and see the bias... the really difficult part is for some people out there to even have an inkling that there might be a reason to look for a possibility of bias.

Not looking into it too much but the article doesnt even mention much about the slap making it implicitly okay for women to believe its okay to strike a man. Violence is never the answer and good for this dude avoiding this in the future. It could have been stage or it couldve been a test or it couldve been authentic, I just know if a women proposed with a ring pop and the man did exactly what this woman did, he would be sitting behind bars without a shadow of a doubt. If men simply touch a woman its a problem but social media warriors can say that he had it coming.

fakemuseum · 2022-10-04T04:29:17+00:00

It's all staged of course but just imagine if the woman got slapped, what the feed back would be.

Woozuki · 2022-10-03T19:01:35+00:00

I must have one of the few gems, because mine insists on a ring pop.

blaizken_420 · 2022-10-04T00:18:24+00:00

Lol, ring pop is appropriate for how much marriage should be worth to men now

theninja4832 · 2022-10-07T14:40:57+00:00

He dodged a bullet...if it wasn't staged, of course.

I am a woman who came across this feed because I saw the video and was curious about the reaction of others. I am shocked by the number of people who considered HIM the red flag.

I was engaged to a red flag. I'm talking real life sociopath that has so many red flags you could open up a theme park of red flags. Violent, documented in the newspaper, completely one sided scenario red flag. Yes, I know what page I'm on. Point is, I know what a red flag looks like. But this is not on the guy here. I don't think this is an abusive type scenario, but she's definitely the red flag. Some of y'all are going way too far down the rabbit hole with it, but you're right.

It makes her look like a gold digger. She was gasping and the whole nine before he brought out the ring pop and not a diamond.

Maybe it was a cute one liner about being the Jenny to his Forrest. Maybe he was nervous and it was now or never. Maybe, like others have said, he had the real ring in his pocket. Or maybe he was going to let her pick it out herself, or couldn't afford the rock yet she obviously wanted. Either way, dude didn't deserve to get slapped.

It was sweet. But then again, I'm not a gold digger and would have laughed and maybe playfully punched him in the arm after a sweet kiss and a yes. If she couldn't appreciate what he was trying to do then they never would have worked anyway.

scotty_fo_sho74 · 2022-10-08T02:38:12+00:00

Even if his joke was in poor taste, it gives her now right to assault and batter him. Flip the genders and ask yourself if it would be ok for a man to slap a woman like that.

Inevitable_Brain9852 · 2022-10-03T22:26:48+00:00

Wether it’s real or not the reactions to it don’t pass. People are consistently thinking it’s funny to laugh at violence.

munkeybusinessman · 2022-10-03T16:13:32+00:00

Her response was over the top for sure, and violence shouldn't be condoned. I'm not sure this is a problem we as men need to worry about. Marriage proposals are a big deal. I hate public proposals in general, but this is particularly bad, I would be ashamed to use a 50¢ candy toy to show my devotion. Our actions matter, and this is barely above a prank, even if he was serious.

Again not justifying her response, but men, if your going to propose don't do it in front of thousands of people with a toy. At least use an inexpensive band. You can easily find a classy ring for $50-100.

CuriousAndAmazed · 2022-10-03T21:41:22+00:00

What a dick. That’s a f***ed up prank. I would deserve to get slapped if I did that to any girl I cared about or cared about me.

He’s basically saying my commitment to this relationship is a joke to me, and I’ve wasted your time and investment.

prilexx · 2022-10-04T11:17:12+00:00

Y'all are pussies if you are offended by this. I'm all for mans right and shit but for fuck sake, this sounds more like transgenders when they say biology don't matter then mans right activists speaking. You prank a girl, she slaps you, you laugh, later that night you drill her insides and you enjoy.
