[@paulwalked5810]

She's saying she KNOWS everyone must have that *little* good somewhere in there, not that they only have a little bit of good in them. This is a difference in the perception of violence, to put it in perspective, in her mind committing violence is no different than willfully murdering someone, thats what she imagines has to go through someone's head to hit someone. In reality violence is very nuanced, situational, and good vs bad can have very little if not nothing to do with it. This being said I believe she is living in a sort of imaginary world with her own made up rules motivations for violence. This likely comes from a place of complete ignorance to the topic and therefore she is very likely not a "bad person" for her views. She sure as shit isn't very likable for them though 🤷

Man the older lady has a very twisted sense of morality, I really struggle to understand her at all.

The character and discipline displayed by the majority of MMA fighters is a much more authentic foundation for any morality than simply 'I don't believe in violence therefore I am good'. Charles Oliveira's story is a perfect example. Raised in the slums, he spent decades mastering mindful violence to create a better life for himself and so many others in his community. I wonder how her beliefs would tackle that reality if she spent some time learning.

[@Playmesomeshit]

That said, I'm also a martial artist. I have been involved in MMA since my youth. And the mentality and environment in actual MMA is completely different from the violence we see in war and crime. The people involved are consenting adults, and they are proficient in a skill. To be averse to this sort of sport in such a snooty way is basically a lack in understanding as opposed to a higher understanding. I can't speak for all martial artists, but the folks I've been around have been the most willing to put their own lives on the line before others in order to prevent cruel situations from occurring.

"Pacifists" are just people who grew up very sheltered and are ignorant to the world around them and how it works

[@stevenash621]

That guy did a terrible job explaining why they have to do that.

i don’t think that guys a pacifist anymore

Should show them a compilation of good sportsmanship, rivals becoming friends, or fighters and their other jobs (like stipe being a fireman).

Yea they're not showing the good side

That’s a great idea two sides to everything not just the violence show the discipline as well

[@lucasathus]

Everytime i hear someone say 'violence doen't solve anything' i know for a fact this person was never assaulted and never had to defend themselves

[@SoupSultan]

Seriously. Talk about a sheltered upbringing.

[@cw1859]

they dont understand the nature of the world at all. theres never been a time in history where violence wasnt crucial to the structure of society

[@ArjunMangat69]

Facts tho, like I’ve been mugged multiple times in college and I can tell you that being a “pacifist” doesn’t help, but to be fair I was a national boxer

[@Homelessmason]

What I don’t understand is how they can’t see the world from a different perspective.

The two women really come across as totally self righteous and condescending. I am fine with people not liking things, but those two just seem bitter, no need to insult someone just for having different interests.

A majority of religious people think this way as well unfortunately.

They have no knowledge about the sport and this is their first exposure to them. Give them a break.

@@samholden1339 I mean that's the world's 2 biggest religions, so just by the numbers it would be odd if most fighters weren't Christian or Muslim.

[@Bubb_Ash]

When I hear these people call themselves, "pacifist" I hear, "lack of perspective". A sport that shows off cultural differences in how we defended ourselves through time and how it continually evolves sounds beautiful and way cooler than anything anyone is doing with a ball, but I love this shit so..

Yeah I didn't take the time to pay attention to her name but the African-American woman had the audacity to say that they're not very intelligent. What she saying is that she doesn't know anything about martial arts or this sport.

[@jasonmelvin9102]

and you just showed you're a hypocrite. people love ball sports or other hobbies just as much and there isn't anything wrong with that. you saying its better than anything just shows your lack of perspective.

Your take was good until the last bit. No need to bring down other sports, they’re all good in their own ways and bring joy to billions of people. You’re basically just being a hypocrite

[@RoryThornber06]

“How is this a sport” is the most ridiculous question. It’s a sport routed in the ancient history of almost every culture around the world. MMA fighters are not far off from gladiators

[@Ze_N00B]

Except MMA fighters aren't fat. It's one of the male sports women watch, the same way and reason tennis is a women's sport men also watch.
