An Olympian shows a modicum of kindness to a girl, so the internet compares her to a coat rack, and congratulates him for all the sex he’s about to get.

An Olympic Gentleman is a gif of a male Olympic athlete putting his jacket around a young female volunteer. Seems like a nice thing for him to do, so she doesn’t get cold. Let’s see how Reddit responds to a man doing something nice for a woman.

an olympic coat rack…. [top scoring comment; score of +4,000]

‘He wasn’t doing something nice, he was just using her as a coat rack. She’s not a woman with feelings, she is furniture’. Literally objectifying women, speaking of them as if they were objets.

Gold Medal move. She damp [reply; score of +500]
Clean up on podium 1 please. [+400]
Oh From her vagina. I get it now [+200]

Or maybe she’s just grateful for the kind gesture? Reddit sees women as vending machines — pay kindness tokens, receive sex. They really think women reward male kindness with sex.

You could drown a toddler in her panties. [+20]

*sigh* Let’s just move on.

No one seems to be mentioning that it’s raining. He was trying to keep her dry. [2nd top comment; +3,500]

Yes, thank you. It’s raining, so he gave her his jacket. A nice, thoughtful gesture.

Didn’t realize that, thanks for turning this back into a kind gesture [+1,700]
But it was a closed roof stadium. [+700]
Aaaaand we’re back to coat rack. [+1,100]

They just can’t resist calling her a coat rack. No, it wasn’t a closed roof stadium. You can see the rain falling in front of any black surface in the gif. It really was just a kind gesture, a man valuing a woman, not devaluing her to the level of less than a jacket. Oh but Reddit an’t allow that.

Usain Bolt did something similar and completely made that guy’s day. [3rd top; +3,000]

So Usain Bolt did something nice for a volunteer. He gave one a fist bump. I’m sure Reddit will deride the kid like they did the girl.

The pure joy he experiences makes me really happy [top reply; +1,700]
Haha love that guy [+300]
I actually think what Usain did is better than what this guy from Cyprus did. Usain was actually thinking about that person and knew it would be cool for him. The Cypriot just needed a coat rack and she looked convenient [+80]

Ha ha no no no no no. I like the Usain Bolt gesture because it’s *better*. A fist bump is *better* than giving someone your own jacket, and getting rained on yourself, so that they don’t get rained on. Oh the torturous logic, just to avoid saying the obvious: ‘Doing something nice for a man is better than doing something nice for a woman’.

If I’m not mistaken, the dude from the OP gave her his jacket. [+80]

Someone points out that not only did he put his jacket around her, he actually let her keep the jacket. A much nicer gesture than a simple fist bump, obviously. Reddit can’t argue with that surely?

Nah he wants it back later. He asked her to bring it to his room. [+130; higher score]

No silly, she’s just a sex delivery service. The jacket is just a net to capture his prey. Kindness towards a woman indeed.

Let’s check the next comment chain to find someone calling out this nonsense.

Slick.
Used her as a coat rack at the same time making it look like he’s a gentleman. [4th top; +1,700]

Jesus Christ with this coat rack shit. No, he didn’t *pretend* to be a gentleman, he really was one. Redditors would never give their coat to a woman — not if it was raining, not to be nice — unless they were certain doing so you get them sex in return. How are those two even comparable? “I gave you my coat, now let me fuck you.” Call this bullshit out, guys.

It’s like putting the toilet seat down… I don’t have to wipe up the splatter, and I’m a gentleman for it! [top reply; +400]

Jesus Christ. Let’s try the fifth top comment.

Ah yes, Milan Slickwiththechicksovic of Cyprus. Finding a place to hang his coat was his first hurdle. [5th top; +900; gilded]

Again with the slick. Again with the coat rack.

And again with the pussy. These are all different people. These comments aren’t from the same person twice. Hundreds of unique upvotes. Thousands. This isn’t some nice corner, /r/gifs is a default subreddit. 10 million subscribers. And this is the majority opinion. This circlejerk about a man being nice to a ~~woman~~ coat rack, and the woman rewarding this minimum level of kindness with sex. She is a coat rack when he is nice to her, a woman when it comes to sex, and an object always.

And by the way, ‘gilded’ refers to that comment receiving Reddit Gold. Someone actually paid money to have that comment highlighted on Reddit. Let that sink in.

His shirt says amsterdam 2016 on it… I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to get that sweet, sweet karma. [6th top; +400]

And buried under all the junk, we finally reach the truth: This isn’t even from the Rio Olympics. he original poster lied just to get imaginary internet points and ~~patted on the back~~ circlejerked.

Usually I would eject here, but I accidentally caught sight of the next comment.

That girl is so cute tho. Just look at her. [7th top; +400]

I did finally go back and look at her. And now that I do, what age is she? Is this who everyone is lusting after? What age is she, 14? They’re fantasizing about having sex with a minor, because they were kind enough to ~~give her their coat~~ use her as a rack. These people are sick.

In summary: a man does something nice for a girl. Reddit doesn’t like that, so it lies that this selfless act was actually selfish, that the man values a coat more than a girl. They then fantasize about having sex with this minor, as though girls rewarded creepy internet men with sex for one single act of ‘fake’ kindness.

Reddit is gross.
