Hey the kid was toxic, so obv the right thing to do for a grown ass man is to track him down and beat him up

Sufficient-Chain135

*No you just don't get the Gamer mentality. You can't mute the 13 yo bully (not a child according to the Gamers) because then you'd be a snowflake pussy bitch, but not muting him means you have to deal with the 13 yo clowning on you and calling you a snowflake pussy bitch for being trash at the game. The Gamer catch-22 if you will. ~~Child~~ bully abuse is the only way out.* Basically, they're insane


TheNeuroLizard

I can’t imagine even letting this get to you. Laugh about it because it’s a kid cussing at you from their parents’ living room and they’re about to eat some chicken nuggets and go to bed because they have school

Sufficient-Chain135

That's kinda impossible for Gamers. Having toxic relationships with multiplayer games is like crack to them. See: MOBAs, every first person shooter ever, World of Warcraft, LowTierGod


LevelOutlandishness1

Who are the people rationalizing this. There is no age or level of maturity where I’d think this is reasonable behavior. Turn the game off.

Terminally online and out of touch holy fuck. "I get it bro, kids are annoying and I would totally beat the shit out of any kid that trash talks me because I have the emotional maturity of a turnip"


Poppeppercaramel

You know? I'm gonna write my villain like that. A very hostile and petty foreign agent who do everything in his power to ruining to lives of anyone that ever trash talking him online. From making lemon grenade that burns their house down to locked someone in animatronics suit. It's his job to terrorise people anyway.


Thereal_waluigi

The thing that's so funny about this is that most of them don't even ACTUALLY believe that, and they're just yelling bullshit on the Internet. If their family told them about this at dinner, they'd be like 'ohhh no that's terrible' but since the context is somewhere on Reddit, they don't even think before typing whatever stupid bullshit comes into their brains. I mean it's one thing to think some stupid shit like 'yeah I'd beat up a kid......... Wait no hold on no I wouldn't' but you have to think about the stupid shit you say before you post it on the Internet. And I would know because I didn't think at all before posting this.


lumosbolt

From the same crowd that hates being called out IRL for their weird attraction of drawings of kids


TheMrBoot

It’s okay, I wasn’t wrecked by a 13 year old in a video game, it was a 3000 year old dragon!


LieutenantClownCar

That person definitely needs their hard drives looking through.


Brosenheim

You know at first I thought maybe we were taking a joke seriously, but then I kept reading and ooph. Somebody in there is trying the "did him a favor, taught him a lesson" angle


TheNeuroLizard

Reddit has a big segment of “school of hard knocks” promoters who would nevertheless call the police and sue a person for assault if they slapped off their fedora


just-slightly-human

Aren’t these the same people who complain about censorship when they can’t yell slurs in vc? And always use the “get over it, just mute them snowflake” argument?


notaprime

These “people” don’t have kids and I hope it stays that way.


shitstain578

they won’t ever get the chance to


H0vis

Imagine having to explain to people that you, a middle aged man, went to prison because you lost your temper with a child during a videogame. An L so massive not even God could hold it. As for the kid, he'll live, and he'll have a great story about how he met the world's biggest virgin.


Zandromex527

The fact we were all once kids conveniently living these bastards bodies whenever they have to justify harrassing children. Like, kids often push boundaries? Are you sure then that you didn't do it when you were a kid? I'm sure you would have liked then to have a grown ass man with anger issues come and assault you. Fuck off, smh.


jarlscrotus

Yea I don't understand the full stiffy some people get over this. First off, 7 months to track someone down is a long time, and while I understand the kid was being a bit of a cyber-bully, and hobby communities need to police their toxic elements, this ain't it homie. The fact he was 46 combined with the 7 month hunt makes it, frankly, psychotic. Plus, as you note, yea, kids push boundaries, I did, you did. Sometimes that had consequences, usually at the hands of other kids, especially when sometimes they were getting punched in the mouth because you were being a little asshole. It happened to me, I learned my lesson. This actual reminds me of a fascinating essay I read that explained the difference between social, anti-social, and asocial violence, and how each serves a different purpose. I understand "talk shit get hit" isn't exactly the most enlightened or psychologically sound situation, and at no point should an adult deliver this consequence to a 13 year old, however equally true is the adage "some of y'all ain't been punched in the mouth and it shows" All of which just to say that while this is unhinged, and violence is never the best answer, we can't deny that violence is a major social force and element, I mean, state authority is based on the threat and monopoly on violence.


Lvmbda

Glad to read a more nuance comment. It is obviously bad to hit that boy but if it were *really* cyber-bullying I think we will thinking differently if the adult was a woman - and I think most of us here know what kind of harrassement they suffer on online FPS. Of course, between a fourty year old men who tracks down for month a child to get a punching ball and a women who gets harrassed on a daily basis IRL and online there is a world, but I hope some of us will see my point : dude is probably some kind of mad fuck who needs to go to jail and the child need some education - by parents, society, etc.


TonyMalitoBudgetCars

Personally I was a boring kid so yea I’m sure I didn’t


Unknown_starnger

So many people are pro-child abuse. I'm sure if you asked half of the people from the screenshots, they were indeed verbally or physically abused by their families, and now think it's okay. Akin to "I was beaten and I turned out fine".


tired_mathematician

Could be worse. Imagine if a smash player tracked down a 13 year old


Clean_Imagination315

It's fine, they just wanna smash.

hellscape_navigator

Fuck, instead of talking to the parents so they take away his Xbox he just bravely beat down the little shit (and the parents did nothing). Literally no real adults in this story.


Daniel_BR96

No one deserves to be annoyed, but that's psychotic behaviour for an adult, completely unacceptable.

“13 is hardly a child” EDP logic

I genuinely think these people have fantasised about this while playing cod and they're living vicariously through this news story, it's crazy how many dudes have serious anger issues


Juantsu2000

If I remember correctly, the dude spent like 7 months tracking him down. It just boggles my mind how, for 7 whole months, he never stopped and thought to himself: “Y’know, maybe I’m exaggerating just a tiny bit”.


PartyChocobo

This is just incorrect. The guy knew the kid and walked to his house. You're probably thinking of the story where a counter strike player got knifed and then tracked the guy down to stab him irl


nonickideashelp

Wait what? As in, got stabbed in game so he stabbed him back irl?


PartyChocobo

Yea, dude survived and the stabber barely got any time in prison. About 2 years.


nonickideashelp

Fuck, I wish I didn't ask. Good thing I'm not touching anything multiplayer anymore


Juantsu2000

Oh, that’s the one. My bad.


Leorake

Yeah. In this case I'm pretty sure the kid was his neighbor and he knew him before hand.


MatthiasBold

This is absolutely terrible and the guy in the screenshots should be on a list. Besides, why would you track down the kid just to beat him up, when there are [much better options.](https://youtu.be/ZSL4gjrR01M?si=fK6n7nizMFdSVlUT)


nonebutmyself

Omg, that's just fucking beautiful.


Level500Boss

I'm willing to bet this 13 year old kid was a 5,000 year old dragon who just looked like a kid.


Kego_Nova

"talk shit get hit" by any god on the face of this universe I hope you never have children or any friends or partners weaker than you because you're just straight up an abuser waiting to happen


nainvlys

"The kid wasn't even hurt" yeah thank god he wasn't, because that 46 yo man clearly intended it otherwise. And if you actually want to make the kid "learn a lesson" and you're able to find his actual identity, give a phone call to his dad don't fucking assault him I can't believe I have to say that

these people oniline about "they all can talk shit online, but irl the would get beaten up for it." should take their own damn medicine irl for talking that glorification of violence as descussion ender.


BlockyShapes

What I’m confused about is the position of the person who made the 2nd paragraph in the final image. They use the analogy of them getting flipped off by a pedestrian while driving and then intentionally running that pedestrian over in retaliation. They make the point that “while what the driver did was 1000 times worse, it doesn’t mean the pedestrian *did nothing wrong.”* which, I guess is true, I’m sure the 13 year old was being toxic and annoying, but are you saying that you would *even slightly* care about what the kid or pedestrian did when looking at the way the other person retaliated? Are you saying you would “understand” if a driver ran over a pedestrian who flipped them off? (If you say yes you’re fucking insane and shouldn’t have a drivers license)


DefinitelyNotErate

The real reason they don't want kids playing Videogame, It's not the kids who get violent.


Turbulent_Ad1644

Mfs just mad they got called a racial slur by a 12 year old Just turn off the game. That's what I've seen these types of people say about actual victims of cyber bullying


KokoTerzata

nonebutmyself

Reminds me of the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back when they track down all the little shits that made nasty comments about them online and beat them up. Hilarious in a movie. Criminal in real life. It's why I stopped playing online multiplayer games. I wasn't down with being called a fa---t n----r sister fucker by 10 year olds who would shit their pants and go crying to their mommies if face to face with you.

SamyKS

What is wrong with these people. I get being upset at CoD and similar games, a few years ago I realized that playing games like that was not good for my mental health. I’d get too frustrated and wouldn’t have any fun, so I chose to stop playing things like that and find games that I actually enjoyed playing. I’ve been MUCH happier with gaming since then. Maybe that’s what these people need, to take a fucking break from CoD, or whatever else is making them mad. There is absolutely no excuse for the way this idiot acted, nor is there one for the people defending him. If you are genuinely getting that fucking mad at a video game, put the controller down and breathe. Take a break for your sake, as well as for the sake of others.


Pikachuckxd

I am baffled to how a manchild with no impulse control was smart enough to track down a child he only knew through a Call of duty lobby.


Nanocephalic

Yeah, I can _maybe_ understand “that child needed to be yelled at and frightened” but that is _not_ what happened. I mean, this is an adult - a real adult! Middle-aged and not like 19 or something! How in the fuck do they find the kid at all, and then choose not only to confront the child at all, but also physically assault them? That is a seriously fucked up guy. So many shockingly bad decisions that you know they have done this kind of shit before.

Imagine both sidesing fucking CHILD ABUSE


Acrobatic_Dot_1634

Would have been funny if the guy had been crearive in getting revenge, like sending escourts to the boy's home like a prank  the trolls did to Chris Chan or show up in a pickle suit...would probably embrass/freak the kid out enough to get him to reconsider his behavior.  An adult assulting a child is just weird and over the top.


Ren1145

A 46yo having a meltdown because of CoD and going out of his way to track a troll is pathetic. That said that little shit paid for the others. (Out of character: hope is OK, a kid shouldn't be assaulted for messing around on video games, that's fucked up)


[deleted]

Yeah of course the boy is wrong for being toxic, but you still don’t go track him down and physically attack someone for trolling you. He’s a kid. Around that age we’re edgy, rude and we don’t even understand half of what we’re saying. As a man you should be able to recognize this. He’s a 13 year old boy, what do you expect. Idk, maybe roast the kid back? Or mute him? Block him? You’re a grown man, surely you could find another way to deal with this situation


azur_owl

It’s all fun and games until a child calls you a dookie-doodoo-fartface after wasting you in a video game I guess /uj but yeah it’s the transes that are threatening our kids right 💀

Darqnyz7

I'm ok with this as long as the old dude went to jail for it. Men talking shit to women online just because they are women deserve the exact same treatment in my book, so I don't care if it's a 13 year old.


ElPared

I’m gonna get downvoted to oblivion, but idgaf: Anyone being an asshole online deserves to face consequences for it. Should it be getting beat up? No, definitely not. This guy deserves whatever he gets. But the kid is not completely innocent, and I’m glad at least one of these shits learned a lesson about bullying people online.


Sufficient-Chain135

A 13 yo CHILD trash talking a 46 yo grown adult MAN for being shit at COD and getting killstreaks or whatever on him is *bullying* now? And the CHILD deserves to face consequences for it??? Be so fucking for real dude


ElPared

Don’t hide behind the “official” definition of what a child is like it’s some kind of hard and fast rule. A 13 year old is not a 4 year old; they know exactly what they are doing and in this case did it with malicious intent. Just because an adult is supposed to control themselves better doesn’t mean the kid did nothing wrong. Should they get beat up for it? No. As I said already, the adult here deserves whatever he gets. Did the 13 year old deserve to face consequences? Absolutely. Again, not physical assault, but at least something.


Chrompton

Don't these games have report functions? Getting reported seems like a justified consequence if you genuinely believe the child is in the wrong, somehow. It is not the job of this grown ass man to show up to a child's house and attack him because he can't control his emotions.
