In the last two days I've been called an "amplifier" of "fascism" for: 1) saying that people should not be beaten for their speech 2) saying that antifa is likely contributing to support for authoritarianism I'm not "playing" a "sport." If someone hits me, I did not ask for it.

That’s correct. But the person hitting you is playing a sport. A very bad one.

At what point do we stop understanding it as a "sport"? When I'm begging him to stop? When he gropes me? When he rapes me? When he kills me? What is the utility in understanding this as a game, at each of these points?

There might be some benefit in predicting behavior if his premise is correct. To treat it as a form of literal LARP where they are playing a game might make it easier to dismiss or manipulate the outcome. Perhaps telling them you are serious and not playing is a way to opt out.

Thank you for being the one person who understood the point. Everyone else hallucinated that I was in favor of punching innocent bystanders and whatnot.

I never implied that you were in favor of punching innocent bystanders. I'm deeply confused about what modeling this as a game buys you in contexts where it's clear that some participants are not playing consensually & thus can't influence the rules.

IMO it's a mess. Some go to toss milkshakes, some want to take a bucket list punch, some want to draw blood or worse. Some pack silly string, some arm up. Any "fascist" is fair game, but nobody knows how to define "fascist." I don't think they even know what they're capable of

That's how you get 2-3 people bloodying a guy while some fool shoots silly string & yet another tosses a shake. Once someone in black throws a punch, the other guy must be a fascist. Each aggressor has their own idea re: what's OK, but won't intervene if anyone else goes further.
