So it's only considered caping if it's for a woman? Men can't cape other men? Can women cape men?


I know you said experience is the best teacher but please.....try your best to explain the dangers of caping.

Dudes can :cape: for other dudes if they feel like the guy they are defending can never do wrong, and they talways take their side. Almost like stanning, but more involved.

But the only thing about caping is that if it was a misunderstanding and you rush in, you can end up in a bad situation yourself.

So it isn't always bad then? Or is it called something else when the "caping" is justified?

Because of demons, friend. Demons want people to give them a second chance by saying dont judge dont judge but they dont want you to give others a second chance and judge them as trash unworthy of redemption.

Its so demonic, friends. :sitdown:

So defending people is ok as long as your not defending "demons?" Also what is your definition of caping?



It's bad when you sacrifice your self-respect in the process of :cape:.



How does one do that? How can you tell someone is sacrificing their self-respect? Is caping ok as long as your self-respect remains intact? What is caping to you?

You can defend whomever you want, mayne...just be sure they're worth defending.




Batman was the hero Gotham deserved, not the one they needed.

Knowledge.

What makes someone worth defending to you though?

Also I'm glad you mentioned Batman. Superheros are now probably more popular than ever. Yet defending other people, especially in online discussions are looked down upon more and more. Why do you think that is?


I'll get to everyone else in a minute here.

Don't give a shyt, I see this woman, I'm :cape:

What does "caping" mean to you? A lot of dudes in this thread seem to think caping is when you "save" a woman. But I also seen it used in a derogotory sense to describe people who stick up for others.
the difference is the honesty. :cape: don't :cape: for honor or it being the right thing to do or cause it's brave. they do so for the favor of the victim.

Your average :cape:sees a woman getting cursed out by her boyfriend and compels himself to intervene in the hopes that the woman shows her gratitude with her affection, just like in all the Disney movies he's watched. we're not even gonna speak on how often she doesn't reciprocate the way he hopes

The next day the same average :cape: see's a nikka getting stomped out by a dude his size and yells "WORLDSTAR! :banderas:" and pulls out his camera phone



The coli has given me the idea that caping for "honor" or "bravery" is still bad.


Also how can you tell what these hypothetical simps motives are? How do you know that these men don't intervene because they were raised to handle that situation like that? Do you automatically assume that a man who comes to the aid of a woman wants affection or gratitude?

I've seen many fight videos were there is at least one man trying to peacefully pacify the situation or pull the winner of the fight of the loser. Are these men capes? Or something else?

:banderas: that ether


Do you believe people are capable of defending people just for the sake of being good?

Was that woman entitled to have a sexual relationship with her rescuer? Is the rescuer a bad person because his heroism wasn't rewarded with sex?

It's called standing by someone. It crosses the plane to caping when you feel like the other person is correct no matter what.



Would you say the :cape: smilies are over used then in your opinion?

Well it's subjective for the most part, I guess I mean when it starts to bother your personally or take you out of your comfort zone that's when you are losing yourself respect because you are betraying your own personal rules. I'd say caping is okay if someone's self respect is intact because it isn't bothering them. Caping to me is defending someone who dosen't really need to be defended. Going out of your way to defend someone can be male or female.

Demonic filth or demonic activities?


If a prostitute gets kidnapped by a serial killer and then brutally tortured before being killed.....Is it caping if you disagree with people who say the prostitute deserved it? Because prostitution is "demonic?

Well since God says thou shalt not kill and he who is without sin must cast the first stone then yes it is wrong to say that that woman deserves to be killed even if she is selling her body friend. One can say *well if she had only been taking Brazillian JIujitsu and stayed in school she would have had a chance* but to say deserve friend? I think most people in their life have done something that to someone else warrants their death. Right, friend? :ld:

What are some examples of people who really "needs" to be defended though? People who are accused of crimes and are on trial need to be defended. Does that mean anyone who isn't a lawyer would be caping if they defended someone?


I guess I mean when it starts to bother your personally or take you out of your comfort zone that's when you are losing yourself respect because you are betraying your own personal rules


So it's wrong to become personally invested in defending other people? What about if someone accused your mother of something you know she didn't do? Would you not take it personal?


If someone leaves their comfort zone to defend someone it's wrong? So defending people is only OK when it's convenient?
