Acktualllyyy, the gloves are for cleaner knockouts and so that you don't break the skin of your opponent, which looks better on camera, is more sanitary, and easier to clean between rounds. Spreading out the surface area of the strike can more accurately knock your opponent out.

It's both:

I remember back when I started doing speedbags and I was told to quit being retarded and wear gloves so I didn't ruin my hands. You're able to go longer and harder wearing the gloves, they really do protect your hands.

I thought they were wearing 8oz, not the 16oz gloves, lol. That's insane.

she's clearly been caught up on the lore, she's acting like someone that knows every fucking trick sam pulls, they're fucked.

there's a male hooker in japan that might argue she isn't lying

you literally just said its a rip off of something from Nathan For You, a comedy central show

Well its for both really - boxing gloves would allow cymbalta to directly punch Frank without "breaking the house rules". I made an observation yesterday that I used to really hate the boxing that Sam Hyde always tries to shoehorn into the show. But I made a realization that is a great way to try and resolve conflicts: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/sam-hydes-fishtank-live-general.164029/page-2621#post-19863152

Excuse the long sperg that follows...

If anything, cymbalta should go for a boxing match with Frank since it would mean he can actually make a few blows at Frank and there would be an actual "resolution" to their gay little slapfight/conflict. The same thing was offered to Alex and he refused.

I know it'll never happen, but if I were cymbalta I'd be picking up those gloves and asking someone semi-neutral to be the referee. If he did that then Frank and the audience would probably have a lot more respect for him - in the sense that its similar to those old school guys who say "back in my day we didn't use guns to sort out conflicts in the hood, we used our fists".

Instead, without a boxing match happening (even an informal one) their entire ongoing conflict has no rules attached to it, so it is not only extremely chaotic but there isn't going to be a resolution. He would also find it cathartic to make a few blows against Frank. Even if he lost the boxing match hard - there would be some finality to it all and it would be "cymbalta lost a boxing match against Frank" and they could try a rematch the next day - heck, Sam Hyde and production and the audience would probably have a lot more respect for him. Instead by refusing a boxing match he is kind of indirectly saying "no, I am not interested in trying to resolve this conflict in a ring with some gloves and some rules attached to it"

Fishtank generally is sort of a game of rules and non rules. What the contestants and production and Frank are allowed and not allowed to do is extremely vague, and while there was one real elimination round early on - since then and the rugpull (when it was revealed the guise of "Famous House" was entirely false) the whole notion of defined rules have gone out the window.
Right now:
  • There is a 160+ IQ schizonigger roaming the house for clues
  • Frank Hassle has been throwing shit on people and fucking with them
  • Cymbalta has broken a cup and tried to physically threaten Frank
  • Alex's BBW latina wife came on and threw everything into total disarray
  • Binx had a "fake" elimination and came back on shortly afterwards, Alex postured that he was leaving the house
  • TTS and fishtoys adds a totally random element to everything
  • Production exceedingly rarely intervenes in anything
  • Production introduces totally arbitrary things (like putting Mizzy in the sandpit/isolation)
  • The bedtime curfew I am pretty sure has gone totally out the window
  • Burt's room has progressively gotten messier as the days have gone on, and the house has also gotten messier - the only person who was concerned with cleanliness of the house (Connor) left along with Alex
  • Allegiances have become convoluted
So it really seems like in this game of rules the only way to excel is to try and make your own rules or be open to using rules that are offered to you - a boxing match is the perfect way to bring conflicts to a head by building a fixed, temporary microcosm within the chaos of the fishtank house that has a few rules and that the main antagonists (Frank Hassle and Sam Hyde) have vocally shown respect for and have themselves tried (and failed) to offer contestants at various times. Boxing is a sport, trolling is an art and the only weapon against trolling like Frank does is to offer up a boxing match which introduces some actual rules.

In many ways it is kind of similar to how the main conflicts/themes within Star Wars aren't resolved from a distant range with comically inaccurate laser guns from a long range, but are resolved with light sabers in a much closer environment. Even in modern warfare, where weapons are becoming more and more disconnected from hand-to-hand conflict (like drones) the key decisions at play are always resolved (or further agitated) by the actual decision makers in much more closed setttings:

In all of this fishtank shit and having previous found the boxing segments to be really fucking annoying and didn't see the point in them but I have personally really developed a newfound respect for boxing and similar contact sports. I think one of my grandfathers used to do boxing and I know a few people who do it IRL (as well as other similar contact sports) - I used to think all that shit was mega gay and never saw the point in them at all, and it is kinda still mega gay, but I'm now very curious to try it out myself personally because it feels like it would be really cathartic and quite enjoyable.

I can now finally understand why people enjoy things like boxing. Thanks production and Sam Hyde - this season is not only beyond excellent but I have learned a lot from it. I have really become extremely bored and burnt out from most modern media which has become far too plentiful but fishtank has been a really engaging and interesting experience on so, so many levels. It has been a long time since I watched or followed something and learned something new that is on such a deep and personal level - how people should resolve conflicts and how rules can be used in an environment that is otherwise total chaos

They have such a defeatist attitude. Signal and TTS keep floating the idea of teaming up against one of them and Payton keeps shooting it down in favor of pouting in silence. Binx mentioned something about Signal having immunity. I just want to know where this defeatist attitude is coming from.

Totally missed that. I know he is Jets uncle or some shit so I'm sure he's aware of the show. I really thought he was go9ng to be an Ian type but he has made me laugh non ironically. Great freeloader. Subtle instigator.

Each season had a slightly different vibe. You can tell the wiggers were trying to find the right formula. I think Famous House is it.

Would you guys want another Famous House season or another switchup?

Hot take. Season 2 house was the best house. Small enough to where it forces action + consolidates the fish a bit more, the AMAZING set design (thank you Bex), and it felt cozy. As much as I like hellhouse and stupid bullshit, the first 2 weeks of s2 were really good with the silly little conflicts. The summer stuff, detective cole, shinji late night talks, and other little micro beefs.

No part of this was a hot take. Season 2 house was best house, Season 2 until the secret was let out was better than anything in season 1.
