Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Finally.

An appropriate opportunity for a headline writer to use the word ‘slammed’ and they went with ‘hit?’

Whoever was controlling the camera needs to be fired.

That had one job to do, and they totally screwed it up!

There has to be better footage of this. Portrait mode? Not steady? Not looking the right direction? What is this, Amateur Hour?!

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

why was it in portrait mode? can't be the original picture

Wrong part of BRICS. He's a fan of the C part.

It may not be polite, but it's honest.

I've already booked my ticket, because I'll be damned if I'll let something as lame as not being a Brazilian citizen, prevent me from casting 1,273 votes for this man, our hero.

Unless it comes out that he was with Bolsanro during his infamous visit to the brothel full of underage Venezuelan girls...

But anything short of that, I stand with him.

More American than America

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In case you guys dont know, Brazil is part of America

[–] BearGun@ttrpg.network -1 points 2 months ago

It's part of the Americas, and more specifically South America, but just America typically refers to the US.

Is he a recruit from the WWE or something?

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wish. He's an asshole TV host whose show thrives on sensationalizing crime and tragedy. The other guy is also an asshole and a massively controversial noveau riche who, in the past, said Datena wasn't man enough to hit him... So he had it coming lol.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

in the past, said Datena wasn’t man enough to hit him

He said it, several times just before Datena hitting him.

[–] Teils13 5 points 2 months ago

I'm for the first time glad that Datena is so very right-wing and reactionary, if he was even center-right the corporate media would already be screaming that 'the left / the communists are violent, authoritarian, dictatorial and do not deserve human rights'.
