    Punching up is not fine. Its a cope phrase people use to glaze over their shitty behaviour.

    “Up” is so vague it can be anything.n

      i dont think a mentally unstable person with deep personal issues even qualifies as “up”.

      unless hes a deranged man that aggressively takes it out on everyone else or something, but we can’t really tell from a handful of lines of a possibly fake story.

        Well the above poster seems to be making the argument that its ok because hes a man and that overrides his mental illness. The point of my comment is that you dont get to “punch” just because someone is perceived to be above you in some random hierarchy.
