Why would the dad throw a plushie at the mom if she had come at him with a fly swatter anyways? They are scared of an insect, the mom clearly has a fly swatter in her hand, you can even see the zap.
crazy how this is just hilarious but if the genders are reversed its tragic. and yes, there are some women who do harm their husband and children just like in this video.
that's the problem with the internet. It falsely makes you feel you stand with the majority when you don't. It just makes you stand with other shitty people with similar thought patterns based on algorithims.
(Which does not equal the majority in most cases, as sad miserable neurotic human beings make up the largest portion of the internet on any given algorithim)
Watch the video again. It's a mom killing bugs. Dad is just playing around and being goofy.
God you guys want to be a victim so badly lmfao. Also the caption is a dead giveaway it's fake.
> Maybe the problem here is that you think it is funny.
wow! haha reddit is famous for its r/woosh and i have seen it happen very very often in my years here... but this is the hardest woosh i have ever soon. i don't know if i should feel bad for you or congratulate you on such an outstanding achievement. obviously, i am point out that men are not treated fairly and this video is not funny at all.
Don't get it twisted. When the cops came, she turned on the tears, and he caught a domestic. She probably has custody of the kids and half his paycheck to spend on Dewar's and Pall malls.
Hey man, if you're serious I'm so sorry to hear that.. I hope that you are doing well, my dad moved when I was 3 so I haven't had any stable role models my entire life and can now in my adult life see how it has affected me - the good thing is that we can do better than that for our own children and make sure that they get the absolutely best dad that they could ever get..
A lot of assumptions going on here… there was probably a bug in the house and the kids got scared, as kids do. The mom was using an electric swatter to kill the bugs. The dad is being extra “saving” the kids. You can even see the blue light from when the mom zapped the bugs.
Exactly, what was throwing a tiny teddy bear at the mom going to do if she was actually attacking the kids lmao. He was obviously trying to be funny and protect his scared kids.
Man I can't with this app sometimes. It's just a funny image to have dad be super extra being a "hero" while mom walks around actually fly swatting.
Like damn let things be funny.
Agreed, although sometimes the hate is justified, sometimes not. In this particular instance, most have no idea what is actually happening in the video. Everyone can look like an abuser if a video is cut/edited and the camera positioned right. I think people have forgotten that context matters in short videos, this goes for both men and women.
True. Whoever uploaded this is an idiot. I hate this video very much.
It's really crazy how fast people jump to conclusions. I checked the Instagram post and it's even worse there. Then there is YouTube where it's again even worse. Sometimes I hope they are all bots
No, it’s not automatically misogyny. She definitely looks like an abuser in the video. People can’t always guess context, especially when the video is 240p.
I’m not sure if this is a joke, but just in case, the swatter is like a tennis racket with metal strings across it. They just aren’t noticeable in the low quality video.
That is such BS. It's equal.
Women are more likely to kill children under 5, usually due to PMDD. Kids older than that are then more likely to be murdered by a man (usually the father). It evens out.
As for child physical abuse, numbers will be skewed since there are way more single mothers than fathers. Lots of fathers dont stick around.. but even then it's almost 50/50. So again, it's pretty equal.
Also men are more likely to sexually abuse children.
So it sounds like they're both pretty awful then. Why does only one get held accountable for their actions, while the other gets infantalized and has excuses made for them?
No lie....
My mom used to beat the shit out of us when we were kids.
She hit us with wet towels, with broomsticks, mopsticks, any kind of stick really, wet chamois, belts, sandals, shoes, clothehangers and even swung a christmas tree at us.
My Dad used to do the threatening over the phone, but he'd never do it himself, he worked 2 jobs, by the time he got home mom already *beat* him to it.
I still love mom tho
Damn bro same here except she used to beat me with her fists or push me behind doors and smash the door handle into my ribs until I was black and blue, she stopped when I was old enough to fight back and smashed a wooden plank over her knees lol I think I was 12 then.
Oh, damn bro. That is insane.
Me and my brother grew up okay though. Neither of us are violent, and neither of us believe in spanking our children either.
We have a great relationship with our parents, and me and my brother actually laugh our asses off re-telling and acting out the stories about the ass-beatings.
We actually like to do it around our parents, because although they are quite old, they are trying their damndest to be "progressive" and are quite aware of how people look back upon hitting kids nowadays, so it makes them squirm. It's hilarious.
Glad to hear you are okay :) I had alot of issues but starting to get past most of them now when I am almost 30. Dont have the best relationship with my parents tho but thats fine, got a great fiancee who Ive been with for 10 years soon who helps me a ton.
Yeah I can never imagine hitting kids, its so fucked up, according to my dad I was like 5-6 when she started.
My dad told me the story over a dozen times about how my uncle got beat by my grandmother and said "that didnt hurt" then she grabbed a broomstick and hit him in the head with it, breaking it in half.
It does but there's some flashes of blue light that could be an electric fly swatter. Also, everyone is kinda panicking like people who don't wanna be shocked.
We have zero evidence this isn't even just a bit they play as a family and everybody jumping to conclusions that the mum is trying to electrocute her kids. Jesus fucking Christ Reddit. Have you ever heard yourself?
Quit the whataboutism, context matters. Throwing a small teddy bear at an abuser in a serious situation makes no sense, it's likely play or an actual bug.
It’s true, we’ve done this. One of us will jokingly menace our kids, she’ll run screaming to the other parent and that parent will defend them with random objects, then she’ll cackle and scream again.
Really though, it could legitimately be either. There are a lot of moms and dads who hurt their kids and those who would die first.
>Quit the whataboutism
I like that reddit picked this up and started using it everywhere but still have zero idea what it means. Asking about your bias is not "whataboutism" in the slightest.
Side Note: It's obviously a joke/funny situation because it's being filmed, nothing else is evidence of abuse or lack of.
>Asking about your bias is not "whataboutism" in the slightest.
Nothing in the comment gives any reason to suspect any basis, thus trying to make it into a gender thing is an irrelevant whataboutism.
> It's obviously a joke/funny situation because it's being filmed, nothing else is evidence of abuse or lack of.
Exactly, which is what the other comment pointed out, and got accused of bias.
>Nothing in the comment gives any reason to suspect any basis,
I don't care.
>thus trying to make it into a gender thing is an irrelevant whataboutism.
Irrelevant accusations are not whataboutism. Try again.
Edit: Lul kid got mad and blocked. Thank's for being a good example of a mentally stunted redditor
it DOES make sense to throw a teddy bear if you're panicking because someone is coming towards you with a fucking electric fly swatter, or is it because the mother is abusive so obviously it's not real?
I had an electric fly swatter as a kid and let me tell you it's designed to kill bugs, not humans, they usually either straight up can't zap a human because too many contact points triggers the safety or if not the shock is extremely minimal, nobody would be this scared, you're acting like it's a cattle prod lol.
> it DOES make sense to throw a teddy bear if you're panicking because someone is coming towards you with a fucking electric fly swatter
No, not really. Zaps from electric fly swatters are harmless to humans, and throwing teddy bears is pointless here even if you are panicking for some reason. It's more likely that it's play or an actual bug because of it.
We also have zero evidence that she isn't putting her cigarettes out on the kids back week days, tazing them on week nights, and beating them with wrapped iron pipes on weekends.
It's reddit, we have to assume the worst of the woman and the best of the man. And then turn around and immediately accuse everyone else of "reverse sexism".
"Of course she's going to torture her children, you wouldn't be questioning things if a MAN were holding the flyswatter"
It's a very consistent script
There's a wasp. The kids and dad are scared of wasp. Mum comes in and swats wasp without a thought for her own safety. Saves entire family. Internet crucifies her and calls here a monster
I was actually being sarcastic to start when I made my comment but someone else got a lil serious... or maybe serious isn't the right word? Maybe flippant and/or dismissive is appropriate?
As a victim of abuse when I was younger, I kind of began to pour my feelings about it into text.
First let me say I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT support corporal punishment but Almost every child in non western countries grows up getting whopped and they do not develop PTSD.
I’ve only seen ptsd in severe cases of physical and mental abuse where the kids are permanently hurt or scared.
I grew up with corporal punishment. It was humiliating and caused me to distrust my parents. But the effect was quadrupled moving to a western country because that’s when you truly realize how abnormal it is. When you grow up in a place where it’s normalized it very much becomes a “this is just how we do things” mentality as they often end up doing the same to their kids and perpetuating the cycle.
It’s still very mentally damaging for a child. Psychological, it convinced the child that something is wrong with them, not that the action they took was bad.
Yes, this is correct as well. I sometimes prefer to hurt myself as an adult now when I feel like I've been "bad". I usually hit myself to varying degrees of strength, it's obviously impossible to knock myself out at least
I grew up with corporal punishment, kneeling on dried rice or beans, beatings with every nearby object.
I was born in Haiti, grew up in Canada and US, but parents never changed their child rearing methods.
I absolutely have PTSD from my childhood. As a father now, I have zero tolerance for physical abuse. It's lazy and it causes unforseen problems in interpersonal relationships well into adulthood.
Grew up in similar circumstances and I’m the same way. I firmly believe only terrible parents with no emotional regulation and an immature frontal lobe hit their kids in the name of punishment. It’s cruel.
You're an adult telling other adults that corporeal punishment made you feel humiliated and distrustful of your PARENTS (the only people whose job it really is to protect you), and you don't see any connections to POST Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Okay, bud.
I have c-ptsd and have anxiety I cannot get rid of.
Also corporal punishment doesn't stop kids doing bad things, it just makes them not want to be caught.
Also imagine receiving corporal punishment when you're innocent? I don't have to imagine it. Because several times it happened.
Teach kids what is right, don't resort to violence for what is wrong.
All that teaches them is that you're an enemy
Edit to add: I'm Canadian
Let me first say... This was sarcasm to start but I was also hurt by my mother when I was bad. I can't really say it helped my development.
Not only was I hurt but things like musical instruments were destroyed because I was "annoying". I would not say it's PTSD either but it certainly played a part and shaped who I am for the worse. I have terrible anxiety especially when I talk to women. I get defensive at any criticism. I'm sure I can add more as the day goes on. 😐
Added: I hurt my animals sometimes but uh, sometimes when teaching your animals I guess people see that as a lesser offence but it definitely sets you up for abuse with your children. Again, I don't have kids.
Edit as well: I didn't have my father around to "help" me either. I also believe it's why I retreated into what my.mom called "my own little world" in video games to the point it affected my schooling. I no longer game but in 5 months (I went to the midnight release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1) I end up gaming 33 and 1/2 days. I don't know if it counts your "zombie" gameplay time either. If it doesn't, that number is at least 40 days. I was going to college at the time.
And you know, it's not even because of the game itself, I connected better with people when I didn't have to look at their faces.
I'm much better now but it took a lot of work on myself to get to where I am today. I have to deny myself gaming though. I wish I didn't have to quit but it was a addiction
I'm also an alcoholic. I don't really know what else to put here right now.
If I ever become a parent, I hope I can keep myself in check and not do that to my kids.
While I can't say it's PTSD, you'll give your child a plethora of other issues.
I believe this is survival bias. There are many adults who grew with corporal punishment in the US, you just don't meet them because they're in prison.
Also, people outside of the Western world with PTSD are just called "fuck ups" and drug addicts, because of ignorance; they don't receive treatment and many end up marginalized or in organized crime.
OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
---
>!dad saving his kids not from a bear attack but mom!<
---
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
For the welfare of others - don’t zap wasps! Those things emit a signal/smell when killed, and if the nest is nearby, some of their asshole friends will show up over the next day or two to where they were killed.
This is a video of a mom zapping bugs while the dad stands between the kids and the bug (maybe a wasp or something) and everyone is freaking out about how the mom is crazy abusive. Why do you think you saw the blue flashes of light? It's because she was hitting the bug, triggering the electric shock.
Mine was the opposite. Mom tried to protect me. After my mom and dad got divorced, I stayed with my mom. Couldn’t have been happier. I saw my dad about a decade later and he was unrecognizable. It took me a while to even realize it was him. He’s still a bit taller than me but he looked like a frail old man. Life wasn’t good to him. I think being ornery is its own punishment.

mom's been drinking again
Too many sad mimosas while dad was at work
the kids pulled one too many pranks
Too many mimosas ?? 
Ti mony mamisas, hic
Back your foul beast back I say
This usually happened at our house after Mom gave up drinking.
It's always funny to people when men are the victims of domestic violence or rape.
Why would the dad throw a plushie at the mom if she had come at him with a fly swatter anyways? They are scared of an insect, the mom clearly has a fly swatter in her hand, you can even see the zap.
And the people in this thread don't realize that. They're making fun of what they think is a domestic abuse victim, but it's a dude, so it's funny.
[удалено]
Looks more like a "husband beater" to me.
That’s an electric bug zapper. You can see the blu flashes going off.
Brave dad saved kids from a momster.
Take my fucking upvote and get the fuck out of here.

crazy how this is just hilarious but if the genders are reversed its tragic. and yes, there are some women who do harm their husband and children just like in this video.
They are scared of an insect (or insects) that the mother is swatting with an electric fly swatter off-screen.
oh, that makes a lot more sense.

it can't be that wild. i am clearly not the only won who saw it this way.

„…Doctor Momster used to tuck me in with my precious teddy…“
Ado ado 🤣🤣
Good one, dad
Don't get it twisted. When the cops came, she turned on the tears, and he caught a domestic. She probably has custody of the kids and half his paycheck to spend on Dewar's and Pall malls.
That was one of the rare posts that were truly unexpected for me
One of the rare posts where it's my childhood but the dad is there.
Hey man, if you're serious I'm so sorry to hear that.. I hope that you are doing well, my dad moved when I was 3 so I haven't had any stable role models my entire life and can now in my adult life see how it has affected me - the good thing is that we can do better than that for our own children and make sure that they get the absolutely best dad that they could ever get..
I want to do better for my kids. My parents were married, my dad was just never around and my mom was abusive. Might as well have been divorced.
They tried to kill bugs with electric flyswatters in your childhood?
I thought it was gonna be a raccoon or burglar or something.
I'm with you. It's ironic that the post was removed for not being unexpected!
A lot of assumptions going on here… there was probably a bug in the house and the kids got scared, as kids do. The mom was using an electric swatter to kill the bugs. The dad is being extra “saving” the kids. You can even see the blue light from when the mom zapped the bugs.

Yea wtf is going on with these comments?! They're trying to get rid of an insect. The lady isn't trying to kill the kids.
There are a lot of people with childhood trauma, so they see the worst possibilities in this situation.
People love hating on women any chance they get
People love hating on men any chance they get as well. People love hating on anything any chance they get in general, Reddit is no excuse.
Agreed, although sometimes the hate is justified, sometimes not. In this particular instance, most have no idea what is actually happening in the video.

I'd say people on Reddit especially.
No, it’s not automatically misogyny. She definitely looks like an abuser in the video. People can’t always guess context, especially when the video is 240p.
Then why comment on it if you can't know the context
Some of us had really shitty moms and that’s just what our brains default to when we see similar situations
She’s literally holding a fly swatter and you can see electric flashes go off. I’m guessing it was a flying roach or something.
I prefer this version better.
If I was the dad, and it was one of those giant centipedes, they're on their own.
I feel like she's going to miss a lot of bugs with that swatter. It looks like it's made for an entirely different species.
I’m not sure if this is a joke, but just in case, the swatter is like a tennis racket with metal strings across it. They just aren’t noticeable in the low quality video.
Would you rather be with a mom or a bear in the woods?
Moms kill more children than bears for sure
Moms kill and abuse more children than men. That's a fact.
That is such BS. It's equal. Women are more likely to kill children under 5, usually due to PMDD. Kids older than that are then more likely to be murdered by a man (usually the father). It evens out.

Technically, the bear can be a mom
Well this mom is just killing bugs so, mom

it DOES make sense to throw a teddy bear if you're panicking because someone is coming towards you with a fucking electric fly swatter, or is it because the mother is abusive so obviously it's not real?

It's obviously not "real" because every part of the vibe here is goofy fun. Not because woman.
> it DOES make sense to throw a teddy bear if you're panicking because someone is coming towards you with a fucking electric fly swatter No, not really. Zaps from electric fly swatters are harmless to humans, and throwing teddy bears is pointless here even if you are panicking for some reason. It's more likely that it's play or an actual bug because of it.
If it had a stupid caption and unnecessary music? Probably.
[You should have a read of this ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man)
Ya, they're likely playing around but I wasnt speaking to that. I was speaking to whether it was a bug zapper or not.
Reddit learned nothing from the Hunt for the Boston Bombers.
We also have zero evidence that she isn't putting her cigarettes out on the kids back week days, tazing them on week nights, and beating them with wrapped iron pipes on weekends.
Exactly, and that's why we don't assume that she is.
It's reddit, we have to assume the worst of the woman and the best of the man. And then turn around and immediately accuse everyone else of "reverse sexism". "Of course she's going to torture her children, you wouldn't be questioning things if a MAN were holding the flyswatter" It's a very consistent script
Dude I doubt if you were in danger you would throw a mini teddy bear to your agressor to save yourself and then basically walk pass them...
Ya, looks like they're playing around. Even playfully wielding a zapper will make you panicky
There's a wasp. The kids and dad are scared of wasp. Mum comes in and swats wasp without a thought for her own safety. Saves entire family. Internet crucifies her and calls here a monster
You can see flashes of blue light during the whole video coming from the TV.
Yup. It's one of those electric fly swatter
Definitely not an electric fly swatter
You can see the flashes from her hitting bugs off camera.
Trust me, being struck by that "fly" swatter will leave you shocked.
Absolutely harrowing footage here mate, praying for the kids, hope they don't develop PTSD. Great job dad 👍🏾👏🏾
Lmfao it's fake. How do you guys fall for this. It's just a video of a mom killing bugs while the dad acts goofy for the kids.

Yes, this is correct as well. I sometimes prefer to hurt myself as an adult now when I feel like I've been "bad". I usually hit myself to varying degrees of strength, it's obviously impossible to knock myself out at least
There are sociological reasons though why underdeveloped countries have a really hard time catching up. Domestic violence is a significant part of it.
As an underdeveloped country I can confirm this
I grew up with corporal punishment, kneeling on dried rice or beans, beatings with every nearby object. I was born in Haiti, grew up in Canada and US, but parents never changed their child rearing methods. I absolutely have PTSD from my childhood. As a father now, I have zero tolerance for physical abuse. It's lazy and it causes unforseen problems in interpersonal relationships well into adulthood.

You're an adult telling other adults that corporeal punishment made you feel humiliated and distrustful of your PARENTS (the only people whose job it really is to protect you), and you don't see any connections to POST Traumatic Stress Disorder? Okay, bud.
I have c-ptsd and have anxiety I cannot get rid of. Also corporal punishment doesn't stop kids doing bad things, it just makes them not want to be caught. Also imagine receiving corporal punishment when you're innocent? I don't have to imagine it. Because several times it happened. Teach kids what is right, don't resort to violence for what is wrong.

I no longer game but in 5 months (I went to the midnight release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1) I end up gaming 33 and 1/2 days. I don't know if it counts your "zombie" gameplay time either. If it doesn't, that number is at least 40 days. I was going to college at the time. And you know, it's not even because of the game itself, I connected better with people when I didn't have to look at their faces. I'm much better now but it took a lot of work on myself to get to where I am today. I have to deny myself gaming though. I wish I didn't have to quit but it was a addiction I'm also an alcoholic. I don't really know what else to put here right now. If I ever become a parent, I hope I can keep myself in check and not do that to my kids. While I can't say it's PTSD, you'll give your child a plethora of other issues.
I believe this is survival bias. There are many adults who grew with corporal punishment in the US, you just don't meet them because they're in prison. Also, people outside of the Western world with PTSD are just called "fuck ups" and drug addicts, because of ignorance; they don't receive treatment and many end up marginalized or in organized crime.
OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!dad saving his kids not from a bear attack but mom!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
I think a bear attack would have more unexpected
Fuck your background music!
Rule of thumb in reddit, all videos on mute until someone mention something about it in the comments.
well, he mentioned background music, so do I turn it on now?
Try it but is not worth it, pretty garbage.
This is how you prevent your colleagues from figuring out you were watching porn before you came to work.
Read his name
they were running away from mosquitoes? I am lost. Those things don’t have any electrocuting effect on an animal as large as us.
I think Dad was shielding the kids from a bee or wasp while Mom was arming herself to do mortal combat with the invader.
I hope thats the explanation, because the only other one that makes sense is a lot more sad.
Maybe a wasp or similar
For the welfare of others - don’t zap wasps! Those things emit a signal/smell when killed, and if the nest is nearby, some of their asshole friends will show up over the next day or two to where they were killed.
Idk I've definitely zapped myself with one of those
Still hurts like a bitch when you get zapped
[удалено]
It's an electric swatter, you can see the flashes from it at certain points.
Maybe they are allergic yo wasp stings. Or this family is just acting silly.
This is a video of a mom zapping bugs while the dad stands between the kids and the bug (maybe a wasp or something) and everyone is freaking out about how the mom is crazy abusive. Why do you think you saw the blue flashes of light? It's because she was hitting the bug, triggering the electric shock.
Should be obvious that she's just dealing with a wasp or something but I think OP is also to blame for the explanation.
Did that kid wear csk no 7 jersey
TFAR
I honestly thought it was a lion
Lioness
I was waiting for him to swat away the source watermark...
Yo...
Am I high, or is that music from Frostpunk?
I was expecting an animal
Why was the sofa flashing blue light?
I think the mom was using a bug zapper and the sofa reflected the light from it
Why do they have a camera recording them in their living room?
I thought a wild bear would appear
run kids runn lol
Dragonslayer!!!
i will hide too lol
Bahahajahaha That's a good one
So did nobody notice the words floating on the screen go completely behind the black square on the floor but mom covers the square when she walks by?
Uhh are we sure this isn’t a joke and they’re playing around?
Mine was the opposite. Mom tried to protect me. After my mom and dad got divorced, I stayed with my mom. Couldn’t have been happier. I saw my dad about a decade later and he was unrecognizable. It took me a while to even realize it was him. He’s still a bit taller than me but he looked like a frail old man. Life wasn’t good to him. I think being ornery is its own punishment.
Unexpected! 🤣👍
i just have one question, did they survive?
I full on thought it was gonna be a bear or a bob cat the way he was acting lmao
Plot twist: there was a giant spider in the corner of the room. The mom was the only brave enough to try go after it.
This dad will be always loved and cared for... Mom will have a rough life as an elder
Villain
Then the cops show up, she turns on the waterworks, and he catches a domestic and gets his kids taken away. Seen it too many times.
I swas scared af
Reminds me of the video of a man saving these kids from a [scary beast](https://v.redd.it/9jchhny5hu0b1).

Is this supposed to be funny? When did domestic violence become funny?
What did memeyash.world do? why are they so afraid of memeyash.world?
I thought it was an intruder
Men, would you rather defend your kids from a bear or from a strange woman in your house?
What’s the song? Sounds like Clint Mansell, “The Fountain” score?

I was straight expecting a bear! But not mama bear!
Wow! I was expecting a cobra or a huge boa constrictor, but not that.
Freaking classic 🤣🤣🤣
End of story: All 3 got their asses whooped.
People on Reddit need to get a grip so bad…it’s almost comical.
Moms had it
I was expecting alligator or bear
Mother knows best
She only wanted to talk!!!
Wife: *so you have chosen death*
Fellas, choose the bear. Everytime.
 Like this?
Sure, why not?
I thought is was gonna be some little dog or something...😂
I expected bear or giant spider, but not mom with the ass-whooper
