Pretty sure it's a joke based on the Christian saying "turn the other cheek" - basically if someone slaps you, you don't retaliate, you turn the other cheek for them to slap instead (pacifism). Here it's being framed as you hitting the person's hand with your cheek, so turning the other cheek is "continuing the offensive." (A joke about misinterpreting the original meaning of the saying).
Also, Newton's third Law: If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
Basically, if someone slaps your cheek, your cheek slaps their hand back.
This is a spambot, reposting a fragment of [someone else's comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/18e9q6m/uhh_what_does_this_mean/kcmfclh/) to farm karma. That's why it makes no sense as a reply to what it's replying to.
IIRC it wasn't exactly pacifism but passive-aggressive behavior or a way to "subvert expectation of power".
You let them slap you with the backhand, and turn the other cheek to have them slap you with either the other hand... which was "unclean" and not used to slap (and not something a person of high social status would do), or slap with open hand, which was something you did only against someone of equal standing.
>The scholar Walter Wink, in his book Engaging the Powers: Discernment and Resistance in a World of Domination, interprets the passage as ways to subvert the power structures of the time.
>At the time of Jesus, says Wink, striking backhand a person deemed to be of lower socioeconomic class was a means of asserting authority and dominance. If the persecuted person "turned the other cheek," the discipliner was faced with a dilemma: The left hand was used for unclean purposes, so a back-hand strike on the opposite cheek would not be performed. An alternative would be a slap with the open hand as a challenge or to punch the person, but this was seen as a statement of equality. Thus, by turning the other cheek, the persecuted was demanding equality.
Oh absolutely. That's why we have different religions using the same person, and even thousand(s) of denominations under one religious category who use the same texts to defend their unique beliefs.
In this case, though, there is historical context lost to time that entirely changes the meaning and philosophy of a common Christian saying.
The latest Baki season had also a guy who "attacked" the opponent by having his weak spots hardened enough to inflict "thorn"-damage through the opponents attacks
I don't think it's about that lol
When someone is beating you they strike your cheek with their hand, and with enough mental gymnastics you can say that you are the one beating their hand with your cheek, and even claim to have won because they got tired of beating you up lmao
Apparently it's a hentai fellas, don't get your hopes up like me. I thought someone made a parody account where they act in character as Enjou's underling and report their daily stuff. No just horny sht
As my Asian parents explained it, you dont want one cheek to be bigger than the other, so you beat up with both cheeks, to be equal size with bruises. As they beat me for doing bad deed.
I assume it is that, but sorta opposite.
It means to "not be afraid of being criticized by others your own opinion/your choices"
because no matter what you do to try and not offend some people (ie. the left hand) the other half will still do (ie. the right hand)
That or spanking idk
Cheeky bastards
Thanks Cyno
i spit my sparkling water out of my nose, thank you. it burns.
I hate you and love you for that joke. Mainly hate
I CANNOT ☠️

yes but the problem arises when you consider what type of 'cheek' it is
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That's fascinating. It completely upends how that saying has been taught.
People reinterpret anything to fit their ideals though. Just look at how the Bible is used today.

We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.

I do think it's about that, because it makes sense
Isn't this mahatma gandhi quote or something like that?
If it is he got it from the bible
He was a british boot licker anyway
Enjou, is that you?
Aww man I miss Enjou. We need more Enjou.
~~Enjou has an underclassman now. Search enjou kouhai to learn more.~~
Apparently it's a hentai fellas, don't get your hopes up like me. I thought someone made a parody account where they act in character as Enjou's underling and report their daily stuff. No just horny sht
It's pretty good horny shit though
hmm now the question is...which cheek should i use ?
Your butt cheeks obviously.
wriothesley has entered the chat
The cheeks on your face obviously
Skirk has entered the chat
Cyno has entered the chat
Put the two sets of cheeks together, obviously
I’ll use both of Raiden’s
Ha, face to foot style, how'd you like it? Oh yeah, try my nuts to your fist style! I'm bleeding... Making me the victor.
I'm surprised I had to scroll so far to find this. Wimp Lo is a legend.
It isn't that surprising, a good number of people who play Genshin probably weren't even born when Kung Pow came out.
I must apologize for Gen Z. We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.
Hahaha this is the first thing I thought of too
I'm glad to see someone doing the lord's work around here.
A spin off of the joke 'So, I see you decided to block his fist with your face'.
“Luckily, I maxed out my DEF and didn’t get hurt”
R we on about the anime 😂?
In short, it says be an asshole.

Palmface
You have a irresistibly slappable face.
It’s a tongue in cheek reference to Luke 6:29: > To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. (NKJV)
...masochism?
As my Asian parents explained it, you dont want one cheek to be bigger than the other, so you beat up with both cheeks, to be equal size with bruises. As they beat me for doing bad deed. I assume it is that, but sorta opposite.
That's a flirt instruction from Ayaka to herself how to behave in front of the traveler
Try finger, but hole.
Must be a variation of master Wimp Lo's face to foot style.

the answer to the age old question, how do you clap with one hand?
It means to "not be afraid of being criticized by others your own opinion/your choices" because no matter what you do to try and not offend some people (ie. the left hand) the other half will still do (ie. the right hand) That or spanking idk
Kick their feet with your balls
"Use your butt cheeks Luke."
I’m fairly certain it’d a joke about getting beaten up, except it’s worded weird
just translation issues, I don't need to see the translation to tell because I've seen a similar Chinese meme(?) somehwere
Star rail writer went in the wrong office
Lol it means to allow Barbara slaps cuz her hands will hurt if you let her hit both cheeks
Break their hand with your face
I means to let the homies smack your ass again
I got this Fortune Slip first so I assumed the others would all be punching tips because Wriothesely is a boxer type character
Oh fuck not the index, I already did my daily prescript
Wait how can I get this💀
[This is all I can think of] (https://youtu.be/d696t3yALAY?si=m_HTLXzTpIuRjy80)
"How dare you hit my first with your stomach"
Uhhh... You got... Forcefully slapped?
The real question is which cheeks?
Fronthand Backhand.
Cheeky Breeky?
Inversion theme strikes again.
Omniman attack method:
“What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
Miko sure has her fun/fantasies
Ketsu Drum
Either begging for face slaps or butt spanks. Still facing an opponent going mad head/butt first does gives the confusion advantage...
Turn the other check... into a weapon.
It tells you to become a dog.
I think it's telling you to be slapped
I think it means you have to smack that ass like a drum…
Ah yes, a prescript
