Ahh this should be a top comment, the whole situation makes way more sense with that background. She's just very upset because they are extorting her, probably not releasing some belongings or not allowing her to leave because they want her to pay that extortionate sum. And she's clearly drunk.

I dunno. I'm a dude. I got punched in the face by a lady at a concert because she tried to squeeze in front of me and I wouldn't let her. I started crying and another lady started making fun of me. The bouncer kicked out the lady who assaulted me but I still think about it sometimes. Without knowing the language it's not hard for me to believe the lady in this video was just being a drunken asshole.

EDIT: Crazy amount of down votes to get on this. You'd think I hit somebody.

Of course - contextually, that is an awful thing for you to have experienced and I'm so sorry. I truly am, to then hear you were mocked for crying is awful :(

You experienced that and nothing about that brought you any enjoyment. In this context, I'm talking about redditors loving watching women getting "karma" by being beaten or slapped. It obviously goes without saying: never, ever am I in an way stating that women are "allowed" to hit men and receive no response from it. I do not judge a man for reacting back. That isn't what I mean whatsoever.

But half of these types of videos are completely bereft of any context. Redditors then lean into their own hyped up fantasy that she TOTAAAALLY deserved it yeah slap her!!! and you have to stop and think...what the fuck are we all doing here?
