A guy returned to the well of youtube comment sections and twitter to get a cheap feeling of superiority over anonymous strangers he will never meet, making him quite the idiot on the internet.
Preface: Claudia Gadelha is a UFC fighter, ranked #3 in the 52kg/115lb strawweight division. Recently, she appeared in a fun video in which Shaquille O'Neal entered a lighthearted bet with UFC president Dana White on whether or not he could grapple with her for five minutes without submitting (after a round against Forrest Griffin). Claudia won the bet by jumping Shaq while he lay exhausted from the bout with Forrest and choking him. Aside from the money changing hands, it was obviously not particularly serious.
Idiocy: The good folks of the internet got a tad defensive about that video of Claudia tapping Shaq, and some other videos which emerged of her (again, mostly lightheartedly) beating up some male tv personalities on what appears to be a Brazilian version of Jackass. Commentary ranged from victim-complex rants about how a male professional fighter beating up female celebrity would be crucified for it, to mockery the victims for not being manly enough, to insistence that the men were throwing the fights.
I believe if you're the sort of man who feels that you have to convince yourself that you aren't physically threatened by Claudia Gadelha, that you would have beaten her if you really wanted to, then you would get thoroughly wrecked by her in a fight and should accept it.
"Tusser, they tell me, when thou wert alive,
Thou, teaching thrift, thyselfe couldst never thrive.
So, like the whetstone, many men are wont
To sharpen others, when themselves are blunt."
Anyone who has any kind of opinion fucking disgusts me.
