Thousands of redditors attack a male DV victim in response to the trending video of his victimization.

He's almost certainly have been abused and neglected by her, normal and healthy don't end up in situations like this

People in the comments are fucking pathetic and have no idea what they are talking about whatsoever

Those comments are screwed up.

I understand the commenters condemning the guy for playing loud music at 3 am, but the commenters defending the mother for beating her son? Imagine instead of a 28-year-old man, it was a 28-year-old woman. The comments would be much more sympathetic to the hypothetical daughter.

I don't understand why we, as a society, always have to boil these types of situations down to "good guy" vs "bad guy" when in reality sometimes both sides are bad.

There's a special type of hatred that society and the internet reserves for unemployed men who live with their parents. I've seen it time and time that whenever people catch wind of a man who fits the aforementioned description, they will tear him apart, fantasize about beating him or murdering him, wanting to see him go homeless, and they will use every gendered insult they can think if. Additionally, when referring to the man, they will enclose the word in quotation marks ("man") to imply that he hasn"t earned or has lost the right to be referred to as such. It's used as yet another way to mock or degrade their manhood or masculinity. In some of these comments, you'd think they were talking about a murderer with the amount of vitriol and contempt contained in them.

It always frustrates me that people's first reaction is to kick a man who is already down instead of helping or at least lending an understanding ear.

Those comments are indeed gross. Bottom line, if the genders were reversed, the Internet would explode.

And yes, no one would call her a "woman child."

Am I missing something?

Yes, this guy is part of the IP2 network (AKA the edgier, racist, generally scummy spiritual successor to the Ice Poseidon network of IRL Livestreamers), so him and his audience are... all that stuff. Most importantly, that also means everyone seen around him on his streams endures constant harassment and doxxing.

There exists a video on /r/cringetopia of this same guy being spoken to with pure disappointment by his mother after his viewers got his mom's cell number and texted her to inform her that her son was taking shots for donations (he's also a recovering alcoholic), at which point she finds a bottle of Jäger hidden under his desk.

EDIT: For more context on IP2, they're basically the streaming network of people who would be (or often already are) banned everywhere else. They're the guys who walk around in public playing text-to-speech N words from a Bluetooth speaker for donations and that sort of thing.

There is a reason why child therapy is less effective for addressing children’s behavior than parent therapy

According to the comments on the original post, this is not the first time his mom has got onto him like this and most people are reacting to that fact. He has a history of being disruptive and a slob and his mother is likely at her wit's end with him.

Though to be fair, this mother said some absolutely horrible things to her son and no one deserves to be treated like that, regardless of whether they're a "bum" or not. Just because he's an adult, doesn't mean it is okay for the mom to prod and beat him with a steel lamp. It's equally as sickening to see people in the comments cheer on, encourage and promote the mother's behavior, going so far to give advice on how further to abuse him.

I doubt that reddit would be so unforgiving towards him if he was a woman.

I have seen men being accused of being "deadbeat" 'leeches' for still living at home with their parents. The term "deadbeat" is not even restricted to men that don't pay child support on time, further proof that even terms like "deadbeat" are targeted at men that have failed to carry out a provider and protector role.

Also publicfreakout and other subs cheering on street fighting are full of people with a traditionalist mentality towards things.

Conservatives will condemn antifa for acting this way but it occurs on the right too with the proud boys, at capitol rallies and at any political extremist event. Street fighting culture and voyeuristic pursuits encourage people that want to see anyone that is male in pain, bonus points if such males are easily capable of being physically subdued for any perceived slip in socially acceptable behavior.

God I hate the word "manchild." It is such a painfully gendered insult. Of course, a woman who doesn't work in a way rewarded by capitalism is not seen as a failure of a human being, so they mostly escape being looked down upon for behaviors that would be deemed immature or contemptible in men.

Also, for all that socially liberal types talk about how victims shouldn't have to be perfect paragons of virtue to be worthy of compassion, that all seems to go out the window when those victims are men, especially if they lack some other trait that gives them intersectionalist cred, but here, it seems to me that this guy is not neurotypical. It is astounding to me how so many people who are supposed to be socially conscious just expect neurodivergent men to pick themselves up by their social bootstraps; indeed, a large part of creepshaming (though not all of it, mind you) is just ostracizing neurodivergent men for trying and failing to take some action to improve their social lives and confidence.

Why do men get hate for still living with parents without people knowing the full story? No one hates on a woman who lives with her parents or call her a "woman child". Most of these men are mentally ill and/or autistic or have some other kind of disability.
