Lots of fun scenarios here.

  • Fistfight in the bathroom
  • Some rough bathroom sex
  • Someone slipped on poop and slammed their head into the wall

Can't know for sure what the artist intended to say with this piece.

  • Fistfight with the bathroom.

I like to think it was constipational rage

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Good band name there.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure which of the scenarios that you imagined would be "fun" but... You do you.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The first one could be fun if its consentual, the second one obviously too. The third is just never fun, you are right.

Someone slipped on poop and slammed their head into the wall

I mean... maybe you have never done that on purpose but... loosen up, live a little, try it and you might like it even!? 😉

I find it odd that it what looks to be chip board pretending to be breeze blocks. Whoever punched it is lucky it wasn't concrete.

I've seen this reposted at least 3 times now, and it bothers me each time because we have no idea the story behind it. We only know what's written down, we don't even know if the person who wrote the caption witnessed the event. Was it fragile masculinity? Perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

For all we know, guy had just received some horrible/devastating news.

The assumptions leading to both the 'framing' act and the gleeful posting of it on social media are just a manifestation of thinly-veiled misandry.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is it normal to you to see people punch walls when they get devastating news?

I'd rather think maybe someone tripped and fell into it if we're looking for charitable ideas.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (12 children)

Yes. I once saw an episode of Maury where a man found out he wasn't the genetic father of his 1 year old daughter, and he started crying and then punching the floor. Is that toxic masculinity or is that a person being sad?

I'm pretty sure punching a wall because your fantasy football league is losing is an unhealthy way of processing anger.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This week I found out I am losing medicade, food stamps and unemployment because one of my previous jobs won't provide the right paper work. That feels pretty wall punch worthy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I feel you bud. Sometimes life just blindsides you and you need an outlet. I hope things improve for you soon.

Guys point is, we don't know the why. We only know the what. Sure, I think everyone can agree it's not the healthiest coping, but I don't know too many people who choose the healthy option in a state of extreme emotion. Is there ANY scenario you could imagine this being understandable, even if not good or healthy? Lots of people listing scenarios where I could TOTALLY see getting a rather reasonable person into such a mental state.

Looks like some kind of block wall you wouldn’t want to punch. But I guess that’s just some kind of texture?

That is creative!

~~Very fun~~ depressing fact: some of the anger we witness out in the world can likely be attributed to people being e.g. exclusively fed ramen as a kid.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

is it malnutrition or parents not caring and therefore giving them malnutritious foods? Correlation and causation and all

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

It's true someone with means and knowledge could do that. Something that's stuck with me for many years:

An impoverished mom could only afford to feed her kid instant ramen most of the time. Iron deficiency -> behavioral problems. Believe this was from the documentary A Place at the Table (2012).

Ah yes, male emotions are "fragile masculinity"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When your emotions are reduced to 'rage' and your reactions reduced to 'commit violence against inanimate objects in a public setting', yes.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You have no idea what prompted the emotions, you just happily assume whatever will give you the excuse to express your misandry.

I'd bet anything that if you read one of the many accounts of women getting genuinely angry at their SOs, even striking them (which is way worse than striking an inanimate object, by the way), based on what they dreamt the guy did, you wouldn't be blaming her "fragile femininity".

Really just immediately do what you accused me of doing, huh.

It suggests that the objection is not made in good faith or on principle, even if one accepted the original accusation as true. "Our True Faith vs. Their Heathen Superstition" energy, lmao.

Little did they know that it was that one time I farted too hard

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Looks like a tree branch to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Art... so abstract...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Aw wish I thought of this when I was married to that violent a******. We could've had so much framed art all over the house. Picture frames wouldve cost a lot less than hiring a repairman every time angry husband punched a hole in the drywall.

Tell me you are from the US without telling me.

That would be great if he came back to sign it. 😊

(3/3) -Alas, I uploaded them in the wrong order!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I think some of your formatting / image embed may have gotten lost in translation between Kbin and Lemmy. Looking at your comments on your home instance, there are images. Here, they're just the (1/3) counter text. I'm guessing that would explain the downvotes.

For reference, the Lemmy format for embed images is ![Alt text](image url)

Whoever wrote the caption doesn't understand shit about masculinity or frailty
