A post raised a relationship scenario: a man and his partner are out together when another man approaches, compliments her, and asks for her number. The discussion initially revolved around boundaries, trust, and how couples should handle such moments calmly. While opinions differed, most responses stayed within the frame of communication and mutual respect.
Then one comment chose outright violence. The user wrote, “If I was standing with her and the guy came in, na it be say that guy liver long… teeth go full ground.” This is not confidence, protection, or masculinity—it is a threat. Normal social interactions were immediately escalated into imagined physical assault, as if violence is an acceptable response to a compliment or conversation.
Comments like this normalize aggression and present it as strength, when in reality they expose poor emotional control. Discomfort can be addressed with words and boundaries. Turning every perceived slight into violence only reinforces dangerous behavior and puts everyone at risk.
