Well with women having these on hand at least the incels will finally achieve one of their objectives:
Women thinking they’re smokin’ hot.
And yet somehow I feel this might not be the best path forward.
Well… let’s try it out for a little and see what happens.
Typically without solid training what happens is the weapon gets turned on the wrong person.
But, for the sake of a good time we can imagine some asshole pervs getting lit up like a cigar. Heh heh. Awesome.
Honestly, I hope it is more deterrent than anything else
Idk, having something that could melt metal from a safe distance as a deterrent seems a bit overkill. But don’t take my word for it, I might be overreacting.
Hmm, that sounds like something a velociraptor would say.
That’s hate speech.
It’s just running on butane - it won’t have enough heat mass to melt metal (and produce any notable flames). Probably it won’t do much more to a person than startle the hell out of them and maybe ignite their hair.
3300°C seems a bit much for butane but it could be farenheit which I would assume is still quite hot.
I think even oxy-butane tops out at 2,000°C (which is 50,000°F or something idk). 3,300°C is around the max for oxy-acetylene, which is I’m assuming what the person writing this was looking at.
Great, create more fear in society and pit people against each other and give them weapons, too. Winning concept.
Abusers should be afraid. 🤷♂️
The problem is that who an “abuser” is is extremely subjective. In this case it’s evil men. What if people buy these because they’re scared of evil immigrants? The argument is the exact same.
And nothing is stopping abusers from getting these too. You think they have a little checkbox on the order you have to cross on the form so they don’t accidentally sell them to the wrong person?
And who are they against exactly, gropers, rapists, people that hit on you in a club, any stranger that approaches you? Burning someone alive is a pretty big commitment, you better make sure you got the right person, or else you’re just another psychopath with a weapon waiting for a chance to use it on anyone you dislike.
You’re real scared about getting set on fire, huh?
What’s wrong? Rape plans derailed?
Pit people against whom? Their active attacker? Who are you worried about making afraid?
What attacker? There is no attacker, it’s all a hypothetical situation meant to rile up people like you.
Rape is a made up hypothetical situation?
It’s just a weapon. It can be used by anybody, against anybody, for any reason. Being willing to use a weapon against other people doesn’t mean you are justified in doing so. This particular weapon is probably most useful for disfiguring people. There’s a fair chance that some over-entitled ex-boyfriends and stalkers might find a use for it.
Do you want to get embarrassed over getting defensive about a dark joke shitpost in a meme sub about women defending themselves against the onslaught of rape the world throws at them and how the systems in power refuse to give a shit about to the point of them requiring lethal disfiguring weapons (as a joke, as this is just a stupid temu lighter intended to be used simply as a lighter for people stupid enough to buy one, if that wasn’t fucking obvious.) to stop it from happening to them or do you maybe just want to fuck off about it? I’ve still got more in the tank, but I’d rather do other things than point out how fucking stupid it is to take shit like this seriously to the point of arguing against it as a safety issue. I just got off of a rare slow shift at work and need to play with my cat.
Handing out weapons to the population and expect them to use them responsibly has worked so fucking well so far…
Here here !
We can’t know until we give it a try
I somehow knew instantly
Hey, idiot asses, it’s a meme. That’s just a dumb lighter for idiots you can get on temu. Are you really stupid enough to believe they are handing out flamethrowers because of a post on a meme instance?
dumb lighter for idiots
Meaning a tool idiots can use to set the dumbs on fire?
Sorry, I was in responding to chuds mode and misread that before, I get it now, that’s solid.
I’m pretty sure bear spray is still more effective, gonna be real
No, it has no “smart” features, like a “dumb phone,” and it is intended to be used on idiots.

I’ve never been more sure of anything, ever.

Oh yeah, we all do, that’d be rad as hell.
I am a man. I am buying six of these, a pair of rollerskates, a hockey stick, a mini fire extinguisher, and some string.
See you guys on TV later!
Get some silly string, too, you won’t regret it.
Look at Temu Casey Jones over here…
If I don’t hear about women being arrested because some creep got immolated for catcalling them, I am going to be disappointed.
I too hope that anyone using this shit gets prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
TFW the party’s mage casts fireball in a small room…
You say that as if casting fireball is ever a bad idea.
I can be trusted with this, I promise
That bear isn’t gonna know what it hit.
Cool idea but that thing needs a bigger fuel tank, looks like it’ll be empty after 30 seconds of use
Does it take longer than 30 seconds to burn someone?
Pepper spray cans also go empty in like 5 seconds. I don’t think these things are designed for longer bursts. Dump 'em and run.
Can of hairspray.
Because there is no way this could go wrong
“I’ll touch your dick if you take a hit of this vape”
Selling something to anyone that can shoot flames up to 20 feet seems like a bad idea. Predators should probably be set on fire, but this sounds like it would take the entire block down with it.
It’s all about peer pressure: don’t bother her or they will suffer the consequences.
/s
Not sure that’s an acceptable level of violence for pervertry but who am I to get in the way of women’s violent fantasies?
EVERY TIME ANYTHING WOMAN RELATED COMES UP IN THE FEED, HERE YOU ARE ACTING IT OUT, EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. HOLY HELL WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST WOMEN? I NEED TO KNOW. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
For full context I have that user tagged as “incel” I don’t specifically remember why, but sure as shit seems accurate.
Not wanting to encourage people lighting other human beings on fire, if they decided the victim is an incel, means I hate women? Your worldview is unhinged. Maybe see someone about your violent fantasies.
You’re against those dick traps that rapists have to get removed at hospitals, too, huh?
Do you think rapists and incels are the same thing?
No, but you obviously do considering your reaction to what is blatantly a joke post.
Why did you decide an anti-rape/self defense device would be targeted at you enough to have such a strong negative reaction to it?
Yes or no? Any other answer will be interpreted as a yes. Are you concerned about getting set on fire with a device intended to hurt rapists in a self defense scenario?
Edit: Also still curious about your stance on dick traps.
I don’t consider this a personal attack. Do you not ever consider things from the perspective of others, or the health of your community, or call out behaviors that are concerning even if they don’t impact you personally?
Yeah, that’s exactly why I support the idea of immolating rapists. If you’re willing to accept people getting raped as collateral for your personal safety then why is it wrong for anyone to think the same of handsy creeps in the same way?
Also, that was a very strong yes.
Edit: The crickets on the dick thing is also a very strong yes.
Oh no, wont anybody think of the sex criminals just minding their own business harrassing women.
Harassment is not justification for burning someone alive. You sound like a republican.
You sound like somebody that harasses women.
Edit: Not even being hyperbolic. You really are giving off those vibes fucking hard.
You sound like a republican.
You sound like someone who harasses women and needs new material.
Is that all you’re capable of? Insulting me over and over?
No, but you’re making it as easy as it is fun. All you have to do is stop responding and let me win.
Are your concerns for others or yourself?
For a society that encourages each other to light people on fire if they decide they’re an incel.
I mean a society that lights incels, would probably also expand that torchability to other groups rather quickly. And then people like the one above cry because nobody could have Seen THAT coming.
Mobs with torches tend to do very bad things when wrapped in righteousness.
Tell that to John Brown.
So, yourself.
Must be easy to keep your worldview when you refuse to see anything outside of it.
Oh my god, holy shit, that is genuinely fucking hilarious! You’re being earnest, aren’t you? Oh my god, I love it. You’re like the human equivalent of a Neil Breen movie. You wouldn’t work as a written character, they’d say you’re too unrealistic and two dimensional. Keep going, say more shit like that. You’re actively redefining comedy, and I’m here for it.
Perhaps you having to interpret reality through the lense of fiction is part of why you want to justify burning people alive. Life isn’t a storybook or a tv show. Go touch some grass.
YES! Just like that! More! MORE! I can’t get enough of you, mon ami! You. Are. ART!
I kind of get it. It looks a little bit scary so you flash it and some intrusive guy should get the message and fuck of. Probably as effective as spring knife would be but more fancy looking. As an actual self defense weapon it would be useless. I would be easy to close the distance fast and knock it out. I guess this is part of the appeal. It looks scary but is not really that dangerous. Knife would be a better weapon but that’s exactly you don’t want to carry a knife around. It turns any fight in a life or death situation while a big lighter like this is just a prop. Anyway, just get some pepper spray.
Point at face and pull the trigfer, shortly. Shouldn’t be enough to actually harm but burning hair, brows and eyelashes are great at resistributing attention ^^
Yes, as I said, might scare someone but will not incapacitate them. Depending on the situation scarring/angering the opponent might be a good or a terrible idea.

It’s just a gas lighter. It’s unlikely it will set someone on fire. They would have to be wearing something extremely flammable. To actually set someone on fire you need some agent that will stick to them like gasoline. This will most probably just burn someone’s hair and it’s a good thing. Using actual flamethrower as a self defense weapon would be insane. The chances of hurting yourself or setting whole building on fire would be really big. You could just a well carry a bottle of acid with you.

I heard that if you mix orange juice with gasoline you get napalm.
How about an overpowered green laser to the face?

How would I aim it tho?
