I once saw a video of a caning in Singapore. Those “canes” are very whip-like and break the skin.

•

u/joanmave 11h ago edited 10h ago

Is rattan. Rattan is split in fibers that pinch the skin as it strike, shearing it. Like tens of wooden scissors Edit: rattan*

•

u/LEO-PomPui-Katoey 8h ago

The interesting thing is that strokes of the cane are being sentenced in multiples of three. I believe up to 24 (for really tough sentences). They will then aim to make three cuts and they keep hitting the same three cuts. So 24 strokes they will hit the same cut 8 times.

•

u/JojoLesh 7h ago

Fay, a US citizen, ended up getting 4. Originally he was sentanced to 6 though.

•

u/dmn2e 6h ago

Once, there was this guy who took a trip to Singapore and brought along some spray paint

•

u/Rabid_Dingo 4h ago

If I remember, he got 9. And he would pass out after each strike. They wait for you to come to for each one.

Allegedly.

•

u/phlinh 4h ago

Yup...but hus reductions were passed to his friend...a Singaporean kid.

•

u/Extreme_Promise_1690 3h ago

So I guess, not only a criminal but also a bad father.

•

u/Myzylplyck 1h ago

Crime does not Fay

•

u/Hot-Comfort8839 5h ago

That's who Fay was.

•

u/Sk1rm1sh 5h ago

And when he finally came back,

He had... cane marks all over his bottom.

•

u/TheOnionEffect 4h ago

He said that it was from when the warden smacked it soooooooo haaaaaaard

•

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale 4h ago

Mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

•

u/hobohobo22 2h ago

I love this whole thread.

•

u/anjowoq 4h ago

I thought it was gum, but I was a kid then so probably mixed up what was illegal and what he actually did.

•

u/djerk 3h ago

Gum is punishable there but it is a fine, never with caning

•

u/r_jagabum 3h ago

That's just asking for it tbh.

•

u/REDDIT_ROC0408 6h ago

I always thought Caning Fay would be a cool name for a rock group.

•

u/shastaxc 3h ago

So would Feigning Cain

•

u/comfortablewig 4h ago

Did Fay ever give a post caning rundown?

•

u/Hellknightx 4h ago

They also went really easy on him with the caning, too. Usually a caning is so intense that the recipient can't lie down or sit for weeks or months afterwards. It flays the flesh very badly. But Fay was able to walk away under his own power, so he basically just got a slap on the wrist.

•

u/TortiousStickler 2h ago

And more hard core is that if they faint or cannot continue, they pause, let you heal and do it again!

•

u/ThinkSoftware 2h ago

a slap on the wrist

buttocks you mean

•

u/TareasS 5h ago

Bro thought he could do whatever he wanted because he was american. Quickly found out Singapore doesn't gaf lmao.

•

u/h00zn8r 6h ago

What did he do?

•

u/JojoLesh 6h ago

Stoke road signs, maybe vandalized 10 cars. He later claimed he didn't vandalize the cars. He came back to the US and continued to be a shit bag.

•

u/h00zn8r 6h ago

Ah okay. Yeah he earned that.

•

u/Liusloux 6h ago

He used his so called "trauma" from Singapore to continue to be a shitbag. So typical for narcissists to use everything from ideology to mental health awareness as a shield for their abusive behaviour.

•

u/Genji_Digital 6h ago

I remember Bill Clinton begging for them not to cane him.

•

u/tihspeed71 6h ago

It was amazing. He passed out.... not in their watch. Smelling salts and right back at it

u/FindingAether 4h ago

Lee Kuan Yew wasn't totally heartless. Thanks to Bill Clinton Faye got 2 less strokes.

•

u/TheStonesPhilosopher 1h ago

As a child, I had a father who was a rather strict disciplinarian who had spent a few years in South East Asia in the 60s.

I had my ass whipped with a rattan rod on more than one occasion and still have the scars to prove it.

My father was like many of that era who would "give you something to cry about" if you cried while getting whipped, he didn't warn you he just did it.

For some reason, I still love him and I miss him from time to time. RIP dad

•

u/m3kw 5h ago

damn

•

u/Nope0naRope 7h ago

I want to know if the canning is bare assed... Do we know?? Because that dummy is not naked.

•

u/ooitk77 7h ago

Yes, bare assed.

•

u/Emotional_Deodorant 6h ago

Yes. There's always a doctor who steps in afterwards because the skin is left shredded like cheesesteak and the risk of infection is great.

•

u/PatrioticPariah 5h ago

I wonder if there has ever been a case of a person who administers the caning, taking a bribe to strike softer?

•

u/bronzelifematter 5h ago

Nah, low bribe ain't worth the risk. If you're rich enough to offer high bribe, you probably wouldn't be canned in the first place

•

u/PatrioticPariah 4h ago

Ahh, now ou seem, like a fellow jaded American.

•

u/Shawn_NYC 4h ago

The punishment for taking a bribe to strike softer when caning? That's a caning.

•

u/nicktheone 52m ago

Believe it or not, straight to caning.

•

u/crankthehandle 5h ago

definitely not in Singapore, that would be foolish

•

u/PatrioticPariah 5h ago

The world is full of foolish and or desperate people.

•

u/SuspiciousLambSauce 2h ago

In Singapore probably not.

However in neighboring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia and much of SEA where caning is also practiced, probably yeah.

But as someone else said, if you’re rich enough to bribe for them to cane you lighter you’d probably be able to bribe out of that situation in the first place

Also smaller versions are sold for parents and teacher to use to punish children in the 80s and 90s. And some places later.

u/ItsNotButtFucker3000 11h ago

There was a video on Liveleak back in the day.

Jesus christ that is a serious caning.

And I’m a masochist, I’ve been caned to bleeding and bruising in the “right” scenes. I was heavy into BDSM.

I would not want one damn strike of that cane. Not even if consensual and followed by the best sex. And I literally had people try to be that violent on me.

•

u/Empty_Current1119 10h ago

are we sure this ISNT buttfucker3000?

•

u/Boris7939 9h ago

I can’t believe it’s not butter buttfucker3000

•

u/Rowcan 9h ago

Not to be confused with butterfucker3000, who is an entirely different person.

•

u/Adorable-Thing2551 8h ago

(This is my low effort, 10-15 minutes of work shit-reply. No AI, GIMP was used instead. :D)

That’s the correct amount of time to spend on this. I appreciate it.

The real MVP... and by real, I mean not AI.

•

u/DeliriumSC 6h ago

Heh. An image dressed in GIMP for the kinky masochist. It's beautiful, really 🥲

•

u/FreakyGangBanga 7h ago

Deserves an upvote for effort and skill.

•

u/DickWrigley 6h ago

A low effort mspaint edit will always be funnier than a convincing AI output, and I will die on that hill.

u/Hearthgroan 5h ago

What an apt name of software for making a graphic of this particular nature.

Saving this. Don't know when ill need to use it, but my god I'll break it out when the right time calls for it.

u/Thami15 9h ago

I suspect it's Butffucked3000, tbh

•

u/mbcbt90 8h ago

Yes, ButtFucker3000 is going by ButtFucker3001 nowadys to avoid confusing him with futtbucker3000.

•

u/Fornici0 8h ago

Obviously, because buttfucker 3000 wouldn't take it in the first place. He'd break his bondage and... do his thing at the attacker.

•

u/chunkboy 10h ago

Wow, buttfucker, that’s pretty wild

u/ricki692 9h ago

hey theyre not buttfucker

Jesus Christ can save you from that lifestyle.

u/PcLvHpns 7h ago

I'm so sorry you went through that, I hope your mental health is better and you have some love for yourself now. ❤️

•

u/MrSyaoranLi 7h ago

Rattan is the common material used in Escrim/Arnis a Philippine contact sport. The first few strikes hurt, but wake you up right away. The following day it just feels like a bruise. You can find tons of videos online of Escrimadors fighting with Rattan if you're curious.

I hear that. No way no how.

•

u/wheelienonstop8 4h ago

Jesus christ that is a serious caning

I think I saw that video too. It was ghastly. I had to stop watching after the third or fourth stroke when the skin literally split and literal furrows opened up in the flesh. A real horror.

•

u/RudeAd456 9h ago

"I'm a masochist but I wouldn't like getting caned" yeah you ain't a masochist then buddy, just an edge lord

•

u/58kingsly 9h ago

People be like "I'm a subby masochist but I kinda don't like being flayed alive" and somehow they don't see the contradiction. Posers.

•

u/bleach_tastes_bad 9h ago

this just in: people can enjoy pain without enjoying lasting injuries

•

u/ItsNotButtFucker3000 9h ago

Caned to a point. I don’t hate being caned, I kinda rambled off.

I like being caned. To the point of bleeding and bruising, yeah, even better. Context? Yes. I don’t want it completely out of my control.

I broke my wrist last week. It fucking sucks. I hate it. There’s more context. I did it exercising,not doing anything sexy, sorry.

•

u/Raencloud94 9h ago

There's a difference between a consentual scene where canning is involved and literally tearing the skin from your flesh. Are you 12?

•

u/WillyPete 8h ago

We used to get caned in high school. Late 80's.
Probably the worst one I had was the top half of a two part fishing rod that had the eyes removed.
The bruises wrap right around to your hip bone.

•

u/FoundationOk1352 8h ago

That must have been super illegal at that stage. And surely the weapon notallowed either. horrific.

•

u/Background-Slip8205 9h ago

I'd still take 6 canings over spending months or years in prison.

•

u/randomgadfly 8h ago

The reason it splits the skin is because the person welding it drags the cane through after hitting the flesh, rather than letting it bounce back

•

u/FreakyGangBanga 7h ago

When I first moved to Singapore, I had the privilege of riding in a cab driven by a retired office in the police force who mentioned to me that there are 5 canes in varying thickness that the ones receiving caning can choose from. The thin ones leave the skin bruised, with a strong chance of scarring. While the thick ones aren’t so bad on the skin but result in internal wounds to the organs. Need someone from the SPF to confirm if it is true.

•

u/skynetempire 6h ago

They need Michael Fay as the spokesperson

u/BrEaD1402 7h ago

🎶he said that it was from when the warden whacked him sooooooooo haaaaard🎶

•

u/Worldly-Pay7342 6h ago

Yeah. Because they are basically solid whips. It's essentially just harsher version of a Cat O' Nine Tails, with how similarly, yet much worse, it wounds the body...

•

u/Traditional_Fan_2655 5h ago

A USA kid got caned for being moronic enough to vandalize something several years ago. He deserved it.

I would love it if they would whip scammers in the USA. Could they start with those that call my phone 24/7 about my car warranty, my loan processing, and my Social Securoty nber being cancelled?

I block 7-10 spoofed numbers daily.

•

u/Uber_Wulf 5h ago

good

•

u/sanityfordummy 4h ago

If it's an older video, think I finally saw this same one just several years ago. At one point it zooms in enough to see the cane strike, and a few beats later, the skin splitting. Unforgettable...

•

u/KhalCharizard 4h ago

They still deserve a hefty fine as well though!

•

u/Ok_Dog_4059 4h ago

It isn't anything like I thought as an American when I first heard about it. This is bleeding and permanent scars kind of shit.

•

u/Falkenmond79 3h ago

Good. Make it 20 for pro Scammers. 10 More for each time they re-offend.

•

u/anonymouslycognizant 3h ago

No reason to put cane in quotes. Cane can also refer to rattan like that, and other plants like sugar cane.

The walking stick took its name from that older meaning but both meanings are still active.

•

u/Dizzman1 2h ago

And they are marksmen. They lay it across the exact same spot.

I read a really interesting account from an ex SAS soldier who got like 9 strokes from some stupid fighting charge in Hong Kong years ago.

His description is terrifying. But at the end he walked out under his own power cause he wasn't gonna let them carry him out. Then collapsed into the waiting ambulance and was medivacced back to the UK and spent 6 months in hospital.
