To have reported my friends DS to facebook

My face still looks like Shock. It was originally what i thought was one of those awful spam posts that sometimes get posted by people that they have blatantly never seen before. but then i realised that my friends DS was in the video so i clicked - my eyes!!! Is johnny knoxville someone of that stupid prank program? Anyway - it was called "i am johnny knoxville and this is cuntpunch" I figured it would be something and nothing as my friends DS is in it, hes a bit of a practical joker. But someone actually punched a girl between her legs - all fully clothed but it clearly fucking hurt. She was obviously part of the "joke" and willing but WTF????

I don't know what to do really - its none of my business, i have reported the video to FB, but i really don't know if i should say anything to my friend. The lad is probably 21 so not a child, but really??? he didn't post the video but was tagged in it, didn't do the punching but was still involved. If i have seen it, his mother would have seen it but she isn't on FB that much.

Im not just being a stick in the mud am i??? its vile isn't it?

I think i probably would have rolled my eyes and thought nothing of it if its was one of the lads punching each other in the balls, and it clearly was on that level, but there will be people out there who would watch that for he wrong reason.

Would you say anything? and if so, what?

I'd just delete him, it's not like he's actually really a friend of yours, is he?

But then I have a very low cunt tolerance when it comes to Facebook.

That is vile. YANBU. If you tell your friend what you saw, say you saw her son in this video and although he wasn't involved in the violence, you are concerned that he was involved in something so inappropriate and worried that his group of friends are leading him astray. If you sound concerned rather than condemning him, she's more likely to listen. Hopefully when she sees the video she will be horrified too.

Why would you say anything? He's an adult, the female involved was going along with it. She probably looked like it hurt because it did - I guess she didn't think that one thru! Stupid is, as stupid does. But it isn't against FB T&Cs to be stupid and lots of people find Jackass, Johnny Knoxville & Co funny. Why feel the need to tell his mother? He is not a child who needs his mother to tell him off for behaving inappropriately.

Just hide the post from your timeline and block him if that is how you feel.

adoptmama · 07/04/2014 20:36

and you thought something called 'I am Johnny Knoxville and this is cuntpunch' would be nothing?

Really?

Because i would have thought the clue was in the name!

CoffeeTea103 · 07/04/2014 20:36

That stupid girl was going along with it so what can you do. Some people are just idiots.

Whonicked - no, he would be no loss off my fbook feed, i doubt he'd even notice :) But is this just teenage, young adult pranks (i know my DD has done some pretty out there stuff, but nothing like that and most of her friends are lads) , there didn't seem to be any sexual overtones to it, just a lot of giggling but even so? I am probably going to err on the side of not saying anything, my friend is just as likely to see it as i am, and his dad who is also on my FB, i don't think they would thank me. If i was in general contact i'd say something in passing but as i would be getting in touch just to say "oh thats not very good is it" they might think i should fuck the fuck off. Honestly, bloody fecking facebook is the work of he devil

i thought it might be punching a cunt as in punching a person who they call a cunt But i will wind my neck in i think. She was busy posting about CP2 coming soon so i guess she wasn't too traumatised Hmm

If you're offended you're offended, someone has to set standards of decency so why can't you be the first in this case?

NurseyWursey · 07/04/2014 20:43

It's your perogative to be offended but he's not breaking guidelines I don't think. The girl was willing. They hurt themselves in their balls all the time.

I would mention it to your friend, his mum. Just to make them realise that his future employers will probably come across it too in the future...

YANBU to not find it funny, but YABU to have reported it to Facebook and to think that it would be different if it was someone punching a male friend in the balls - why would that be better? Do you just think that because she's a girl she shouldn't be allowed to be included in this kind of horse play?

And what are the 'wrong reasons' for watching something like that? Whole TV shows have been made on the same premise, so there's probably not much you can do to thwart the whole genre of stupid stunts.
