[u/kingofthefall]

Didn’t even make the court, definitely has to be indicted. Embarrassing

[u/idunno2468 → u/kingofthefall]

Just a bit premature. It happens to everyone 

[u/Duckrauhl → u/idunno2468]

It was a limp toss

[u/BlaznTheChron → u/Duckrauhl]

He should've tried a little harder.

[u/adnea00 → u/BlaznTheChron]

Might have had a stiff arm.

[u/MHulk → u/idunno2468]

It's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!

[u/iJeff_FoX → u/MHulk]

I KNEWWWW IT!

[u/graboidian → u/MHulk]

/r/UnexpectedFriends

[u/ISAMU13 → u/idunno2468]

Just impacted on the surface.

[u/UrRightAndIAmWong → u/kingofthefall]

Where's this country going, do kids not have fathers that teach them how to throw a sex toy anymore?

[u/Aescorvo → u/UrRightAndIAmWong]

Dildo? When I was a boy we had to make do with a lumpy stick!

(To learn to throw)

[u/doctor_of_drugs → u/UrRightAndIAmWong]

No money to afford the dildos to throw in this economy

[u/mymemesnow → u/doctor_of_drugs]

The real aerodynamic throwing dildos have gotten way too expensive.

[u/HughJorgens → u/UrRightAndIAmWong]

When I was a boy, we could throw a dildo through a donut at 25 feet, which was the style at the time!

[u/tom_sa_savage → u/UrRightAndIAmWong]

Nah, most people don't even know how sex toys work. You gotta put your shoulder into it.

[u/kimcheebonez → u/UrRightAndIAmWong]

🏆 ☝️ 

[u/SleepWouldBeNice → u/kingofthefall]

Didn’t make the court, now has to go to court.

[u/SoKrat3s → u/kingofthefall]

He's only 18, his shot is still developing.

[u/BeeWeird7940 → u/SoKrat3s]

The Ben Simmons of throwing a dildo.

[u/android24601 → u/kingofthefall]

Dude looks like he just sweats profusely

[u/attersonjb → u/kingofthefall]

Throws exactly how I assume he would.

[u/futureformerteacher]

It's a Kaden. That checks out.

[u/turb0_encapsulator → u/futureformerteacher]

could easily have been a Brayden who did it.

[u/CallRespiratory → u/turb0_encapsulator]

Or a Jayden

[u/dehydratedrain → u/CallRespiratory]

Seriously, my son was in a preschool class of 7 boys, and 4 of them were Aidan, Brayden, Caedan, and Jaden. The other 3 had N names.

Girls were at least a little varied, although a friend of the same age had 7 different varieties of -ella (Annabella, Isabella, Ella, Bella, etc) names in her class.

[u/spaceneenja → u/CallRespiratory]

But not a Hayden

[u/BuckRusty → u/spaceneenja]

Don’t underestimate his power…

[u/Vergenbuurg → u/turb0_encapsulator]

BRAYDEN CAN'T EAT BLUE

[u/FieldOfFox → u/turb0_encapsulator]

Shut up Brayden

[u/Nutsnboldt → u/futureformerteacher]

Does that make Oh Kaden?

[u/BenTwan → u/Nutsnboldt]

I know someone who named his son Cayden. He does not like it when we call him O'Cayden.

[u/angry-norwegian]

I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I probably could have guessed he'd do something like this.

[u/DaveyChronic → u/angry-norwegian]

The Kaden generation is turning 18. This is just the beginning.

[u/doctor_of_drugs → u/DaveyChronic]

These mfers turning 18 up until Nov ‘28 better surprise me and give me optimism

[u/darthstupidious → u/[deleted]]

Most children are lol

[u/Content_Geologist420 → u/DaveyChronic]

Just got a new boss last week. He was born a week before 9/11. He's a good and knowledgeable dude, but when he said that, I quite literally almost stroked out then and there.

[u/ScottyKD → u/DaveyChronic]

What is the “Kaden Generation” a reference to? Just this one toad of a man or something wider?

When I tried googling it the top result was just this comment again.

[u/GodzillaUK → u/angry-norwegian]

Face like that has more than 1 sex toy stored away for a game night.

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/GodzillaUK]

I thought OP meant he just looks like a guy who would lack the basic hand-eye coordination to throw a dildo onto a basketball court from the stands

[u/Seano_ → u/angry-norwegian]

He’s not a book he’s a magazine so fully judge by the cover

[u/angry-norwegian → u/Seano_]

One of those free ones that you can get in the front of IHOP

[u/Accomplished-Fix6598 → u/angry-norwegian]

The Auto Trader?

[u/angry-norwegian → u/Accomplished-Fix6598]

Nah, that's useful. Like that one that has a couple of houses for sale and is mostlyadsfor e.d. medicines.

[u/rightdeadzed → u/Seano_]

He’s not even a magazine. He’s barely a pamphlet.

[u/mercutio1 → u/angry-norwegian]

. . . And couldn’t throw it all the way to the court.

[u/Snapesunusedshampoo → u/angry-norwegian]

They didn't even see him throw it, the cops just knew.

[u/getofftheirlawn → u/angry-norwegian]

I'm surprised he left his mom's basement to go outside and into public.

[u/Ben_Thar → u/getofftheirlawn]

Probably his mom's dildo

[u/ominousgraycat → u/angry-norwegian]

Yeah, security might as well have asked him for the dildo as soon as he arrived at the stadium.

[u/HeyImGilly → u/angry-norwegian]

What? That he’s incapable of throwing a dildo 20ft?

[u/Dr-Mumm-Rah → u/[deleted]]

It's not as difficult to hide like a watch in a POW camp.

[u/lamb_passanda → u/[deleted]]

Is your friend Hans Niemann?

[u/USA_A-OK → u/angry-norwegian]

He probably shouted "chicken jockey!" Right before throwing it

[u/justarandomshooter → u/angry-norwegian]

Looks exactly like a dildo tosser for sure.

[u/StevesRune → u/angry-norwegian]

People who think they know the exception to that rule are the reason that rule exists in the first place.

For all you know, there's some perfectly decent, kind young man reading this thread right now and every other thread being written about this guy seeing everybody tell him that he basically looks like a misogynistic creep who assaults people with sex toys. All because you've got a beef with one dude who deserves some insult, you insult every single person that might happen to look like him, despite them doing absolutely nothing wrong.

You completely misconstrued the entire reason we shouldn't judge books by their cover on an almost grade school level. Unless that book's cover is a literal swastika tattoo, this is a shitty, inherently unkind thing to do.

[u/Odd__Dragonfly → u/StevesRune]

If that second-hand cyberbullying convinces those decent young men not to throw sex toys at athletes and entertainers, I see that as an absolute win. This guy could have been considered decent up until last night too, I think he probably needed more cyberbullying not less.

"I am glad that isn't me" is a very effective deterrent.

[u/AreEUHappyNow → u/Odd__Dragonfly]

Except that it’s pretty obvious that it has the opposite effect, it entrenches these people into being incels.

[u/Dirigo72 → u/Odd__Dragonfly]

His behaviors have nothing to do with his physical appearance.

[u/BeeWeird7940 → u/StevesRune]

This comment almost turned my life around!

[u/BillBelichicksHoody → u/StevesRune]

Drink some coffee and have snickers, you're crotchety when you're hungry.

[u/Particular-Ad9304]

For the rest of your life, every single time someone googles your name this comes up. What a dipshit

[u/PointOfFingers → u/Particular-Ad9304]

He calls it a "dumb social media trend". But if you aren't posting it to social media then is it really a social media trend or are you just being a sexist troll?

[u/GODZILLA_FLAMEWOLF → u/PointOfFingers]

He was hoping it would end up on the court which would mean national TV, which would mean it gets posted to social media like the other times this happened. Im trying to figure out why they couldn't determine who threw the other dildos

[u/Epcplayer → u/GODZILLA_FLAMEWOLF]

In the past incidents nobody was hit/injured, and snitching on an otherwise “harmless prank” has been stigmatized as “being a Karen”… nobody wants to be labeled a Karen, so they laugh it off and don’t go running for security. (Even the possibility of hitting a player is definitely a serious issue, I’m just referring to the stigma)

This one idiot in particular was able to be identified because he hit another fan, which not only disrupted the fan & niece’s viewing experience, but also possibly injured them. Once you cross that line there will be dozens of people in your section willing to run down ushers/security, and everybody will be willing to snitch just to get you away from them.

[u/GODZILLA_FLAMEWOLF → u/Epcplayer]

One of the things they charged him with was "public display of sexual materials" so I would think they would want that charge for the other people too?

[u/Epcplayer → u/GODZILLA_FLAMEWOLF]

The WNBA probably does, but what about the people around the fans who threw it? If you don’t have video evidence of the events or witnesses to corroborate the story, you can’t prove it.

In this instance, he hit a man and his niece there to watch the game. * If the dildo harmlessly lands on the court and doesn’t hit anybody, the perception is “Haha dildo on the court” * If he hits other people, the perception is “Hey that guy just threw something which hit a man & his niece, that isn’t funny because you could hurt them”

Multiple people then report the incident to security, and people are willing to testify they saw him do it. Once you have those details, you can charge the idiot with whatever crimes he committed.

[u/Galaghan → u/PointOfFingers]

Both.

[u/LordBledisloe → u/PointOfFingers]

Look at the state of him. He's just an Edgelord.

[u/ApologizingCanadian → u/LordBledisloe]

Mom is probably prepping his tendies as we speak.

[u/MyNameIsNotGump → u/ApologizingCanadian]

She better not forget the Dewey and honey mussy

[u/canmoose → u/PointOfFingers]

Oh it’s a social media trend? Well that changes everything.

I wonder how many people are chronically online.

[u/shadow0wolf0 → u/Particular-Ad9304]

Wouldn't surprise me if he changes his name.

[u/PatrikPatrik → u/shadow0wolf0]

I’m more surprised he hasn’t already

[u/shadow0wolf0 → u/PatrikPatrik]

If you do it too soon it could become viral online and it would get it's own news articles. You got to give it a few months to quiet down and then do it.

[u/PatrikPatrik → u/shadow0wolf0]

I mean before he did it. ”Kaden”?

[u/shadow0wolf0 → u/PatrikPatrik]

Oh yeah, You're really starting life in an uphill battle with that name.

[u/Ape_x_Ape → u/PatrikPatrik]

You don't pick Kaden. Somebody does that to you.

[u/RedTyro → u/shadow0wolf0]

You mean like Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, who has dropped his first name and now goes by Allen Turner?

[u/sinnrocka → u/shadow0wolf0]

He’s not gonna change his name. He’ll use this as “bro credit” for years impressing other idiots.

[u/thesagaconts → u/Particular-Ad9304]

Total moron. What did he think he would gain from this?

[u/3s2ng → u/thesagaconts]

He thinks its funny. This is "Just a prank bro" era.

[u/-illmatic]

Paid for tickets and parking just to throw a dildo at a kid

[u/austinmcortez]

Looks exactly like the person that would try to throw a dildo on the court of a WNBA Game and miss.

[u/Golf-Beer-BBQ → u/austinmcortez]

I bet he will be a reddit mod before too long.

[u/YELLOW_TOAD]

Well.... I don't think he will be slinging his dick around very much anymore.

[u/Jibber_Fight → u/YELLOW_TOAD]

If I know anything about the world, he will get married and have three children that also grow up to be complete stupid fucks.

[u/Chuckdatass → u/YELLOW_TOAD]

Doubt he was doing any slinging which lead him to do this

[u/darkskinnedjermaine → u/Chuckdatass]

Def an incel move.

[u/LordofAngmarMB → u/Chuckdatass]

A wiggle seems like the very best he could manage. A sling is a dream far beyond his grasp

[u/wesley-osbourne]

1.) It's so funny that a guy formed the way this one is shaped got caught because he couldn't hit the court while mocking women's sports.

2.) Is this a promo stunt for the new season of Stranger Things?

[u/x_Carlos_Danger_x → u/wesley-osbourne]

The Penguin, season 2?

[u/Techiesarethebomb]

Called it. Zoomer who absolutely gives no fucks being banned to a WNBA game they were never planning to go back to anyway. All cause this is a "trend". Hope he gets a NBA ban too.

[u/MoneyManx10]

I’m pretty sure the players he threw it at would’ve kicked his ass.

[u/Cool-Presentation538 → u/MoneyManx10]

The people working concessions could beat this idiot

[u/Shortbus_Playboy → u/Cool-Presentation538]

A stiff breeze would take this motherfucker out.

Not a single woman would, though.

[u/-Unnamed- → u/MoneyManx10]

The irony of this is that’s he mocking women’s sports and couldn’t even make the throw to the court

[u/rostron92]

"Congrats on becoming an adult. What are you going to do!!"

[u/IONTOP → u/rostron92]

Gonna get arrested and fuck up my life for the lulz, hbu?

Shit, putting it this way? Kid needs a therapist in their life.

[u/NotTheRocketman]

If you paid me to describe the idiot(s) doing this, he would check almost every box.

The only thing missing is the neckbeard.

[u/IONTOP → u/NotTheRocketman]

My work hr pulled me aside to show me "no in transition" facial hair part of the handbook.

I've been growing this for 5 years, I said

Then I threw a dildo at her.

[u/Cullyism → u/NotTheRocketman]

I find it weird how the internet forgets everything they've campaigned for body positivity when they get a chance to insult some jerk.

Just saying, if some random innocent guy with similar physical features reads all these comments, they might feel pretty upset.

[u/luzzy91 → u/Cullyism]

Body positivity is pretty much exclusively for women lol. Ive not once seen the internet defend a fat guy.

[u/candylandmine]

That 100% looks like the kind of person that throws a dildo at a WNBA game. I like the food stains on his hoodie.

[u/Tu2]

Didn't I read somewhere that they banned bags? How else did he bring it into the ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

[u/Ddogman23 → u/Tu2]

Must have been smuggled in by some asshole

[u/Significant-Salt1614 → u/Tu2]

Butt magic

[u/dadbodking → u/Tu2]

The Hans Niemann way

[u/KileyCW]

This has to be one of the dumbest and weirdest "movements" I've seen. People are just weird.

[u/xxxkillahxxx → u/KileyCW]

It’s happens at Bills games too.

[u/luca3791]

I just know that motherfucker worships the Tate brothers

[u/Writerhaha]

What a fucking loser.

[u/scottdenis]

There's something quite funny about a kid who presumably looks down on female athletes not being able to hit a basketball court with his dildo.

[u/Matman161]

I wanna see some malice at the palace shit if this happens again

[u/Richard-Turd]

You’d probably find someone on r/Sportsbook that lost money on a dildo color bet because this dork doesn’t have the upper body strength to get the one he snuck in onto the court in a single throw.

[u/boywonder5691]

What a massive, massive loser

[u/combo65]

So this can be classified as sexual assault?

[u/Redacted_dact]

Fuck this punk.

[u/JobRener]

Nice throw, noodle-arms

[u/safely_beyond_redemp]

Why does he look exactly as you'd expect? Not a single hair is out of place, like I pick him from a line up without ever seeing him before. It was him. And that name, holy shit, this was his destiny.

[u/razors_so_yummy]

How soon until a prominent Republican defends this clown

[u/Se7en1ne8ight]

Yo lol what in the entire fuck wrong wit these yns

[u/KillaDilla → u/Se7en1ne8ight]

yns be wilin fr fr

[u/Tunavi]

Is he going to have to register as a sex offender because of this? Thats crazy to throw your life away like this

[u/HuffAndStuffAndJunk → u/Tunavi]

I highly doubt it. He'll plead down to something less serious, unless he's got a history of this type of thing.

[u/RzaAndGza → u/HuffAndStuffAndJunk]

He chose to get that haircut which should count

[u/KillaDilla → u/RzaAndGza]

that's not a haircut. that's like the total opposite of a haircut.

[u/bdickie → u/HuffAndStuffAndJunk]

Suddenly the police discover he had bought plane and wnba tickets to every game a sex toy were thrown at.

[u/niz_loc → u/Tunavi]

Sex toy offender I think.

[u/thesagaconts → u/Tunavi]

I hope he yelled “it’s just a prank bro”, when he was getting arrested.

[u/hermology → u/Tunavi]

A sex offender? Are you serious!??

[u/Tunavi → u/hermology]

Yeah the article says "Lopez was booked into jail on suspicion of disorderly conduct, assault and public display of explicit sexual material."

[u/Hdz69 → u/hermology]

He did hit a 9 year old girl with the toy. That’s one way to fuck up your life, all because he wanted to follow a social media trend

[u/dogsonbubnutt]

that the idiots in this thread are making the exact same fucking jokes as they did the other three times this has been news tells me that this isn't going to stop anytime soon

[u/Chrowaway6969 → u/dogsonbubnutt]

Those idiots are a product of social media. Get to be their worst self because it’s anonymous.

[u/KookyDesks → u/dogsonbubnutt]

The jerk is unstoppable

[u/CatPhysicist]

Remember those weird laws where it’s like you can’t ride donkey while wearing a dress on Christmas morning and we all wondered how that became a thing? This is one of those things 100 years from now…

[u/Luckyluke23]

what are we doing?!

[u/Pryoticus]

Don’t throw objects in a crowd?

[u/NOGOODGASHOLE]

Mock this mans lack of athleticism.

[u/ncc74656m]

That right there is an incel in training.

[u/Yiplzuse]

Throw the book at him. What he did in reality, is to transform one young girls lifelong memory of an awesome time seeing a WNBA game into an awkward and embarrassing memory she will now remember very differently.

Who is this clown to think he has a right to do that to his fellow citizens. He likely does not think like that, it’s just him, and a bunch of people who are not nearly as important.

[u/bored_ryan2]

Little dough boy didn’t have enough of an arm to reach the court….

[u/USDXBS]

Professional sports leagues need to start sharing and enforcing ban lists between leagues.

No reason this guy should ever get to see a professional sports event for the rest of his life.

[u/agnostic_science]

The people throwing those onto the court look exactly like I expect.

[u/brokenmessiah]

Looks like the type

[u/9401833]

Come on Fox add the age and motivation in there. “Kaden Lopez hits 9 year old girl with dildo for internet points” hits harder.

[u/ryan_770]

This should warrant a ban from wNBA and NBA games and possibly a criminal disorderly conduct charge, but y'all calling for him to be on the sex offender registry or hit with sexual assault charges are wildin'.

[u/Soccham → u/ryan_770]

Tbh I think being banned from the wnba and nba isn’t even a punishment

[u/Hyndstein_97 → u/ryan_770]

Yeah this deserves like a day of ridicule on the news and a community payback order or something. Of course the classic Reddit justice boners want his life ruined over it though.

[u/sick_shooter]

Sometimes it’s the ones you least expect.

[u/Cool-Presentation538]

Incel loser, I hope he enjoys his lifetime ban

[u/mudheadmanc]

Ever kissed a girl son ?

[u/imJGott]

Honestly, the WNBA should make an example out of him.

[u/sgrivna]

That’s just about what I expected these people to look like. Punk ass losers.

[u/OreoSpeedwaggon]

This whole thing just feels like some manosphere bullshit challenge started by some irrelevant incel with a podcast and an envious grudge against the WNBA.

[u/Chrowaway6969 → u/OreoSpeedwaggon]

It absolutely was.

[u/GR1ZZLYBEARZ]

Haha Kaden touched a pen15

[u/BKP8411]

Dude went and bought the thing himself the day before….seems like the type where the clerk is like…makes sense.

Anyone else wonder if the clerk saw this on the news and was like oh fuck

[u/PropaneHillbilly]

Mom! Kaden’s being a dildo!

[u/[deleted]]

Sources say Lopez recently posted to reddit that he was a six foot nine sigma alpha black male with twelve degrees from Harvard and a concubine of many beautiful feee-males. As of printing we could not verify these claims.

[u/SterlingArcher10]

Lol another chapter in the WNBA dildo saga of 2025

[u/YourKillingMeShnalls]

Cartman!!

[u/HectorReborn]

What a dick.

[u/smilaise]

Damn, that's crazy. Where are the Trump/Epstein files?

[u/BrainRobotron]

Damn the kid from stranger things really let himself go...

[u/TheBanishedBard]

I hope every major professional sports league proactively bans this dick hole from every stadium in the US.

[u/elementofpee]

If you’re gonna do it you gotta throw it like Kelsey Plum

[u/illnastyone]

Knew it was some dumb fucking kids doing this shit.

[u/rsmith72976]

Did someone check his moms basement for bodies? He looks like the type.

[u/OpticBomb]

Of course it would be some tiktok trend. We're fucking doomed as these kids grow up.

[u/Didatonofacid]

So what are ya in for ? Well it all started with 12"....

[u/Decent-Classroom-784]

Can we chuck a fatty at an MLB game or NBA game and hold a sign that says "See How Annoying This Is? So Stop!"

[u/bebespeaks]

Why is EVERY Kaden/Jaden/Kaylin/Jaylen a naughty baddie? Like they're all growing up to be trolls as soon as they start high school. I think it comes with the territory that your name can dictate your personality, your upbringing, how your parents raise you.

[u/eelam_garek]

What even is that?

[u/pinniped90]

Edgy teenager had to get in on the whole throwing-dongs-at-WNBA-games fad but came up limp. Good job, Kaden.

[u/DCRBftw]

He should be arrested for terrible aim. Gotta hit the court, young fella.

[u/Ron_Bangton]

Give him 30 lashes with a wet dildo.

[u/kinglittlenc]

Make him a sex offender. I bet he'd learn a lesson then. Complete scumbag.

[u/Helgakvida]

okay hear me out, how de fark was Kaden able to carry a bloody dildo into the venue, don’t you guys have bag checks and stuff like that?

[u/thrustinfreely]

Kaden

[u/Weave77]

The real crime is that haircut… they should have that guy’s barber arrested.

[u/Chessh2036]

Dude successfully snuck the dildo into the arena just to miss the court entirely lmao

[u/Responsible-Lunch815 → u/Chessh2036]

and get caught 

[u/SNARA]

Def the one you most expect

[u/iceman333933]

Of course it's an 18 year old...

[u/awesomedan24]

You are what you throw 

[u/Objective_Ebb6898]

Man, I bet his mom is pissed he chucked her special friend. There’s no way that dude had the nerve or the money to hit the sex shop himself.

[u/cilantro_so_good]

Thanks for the update, A MASSIVE PERVERT 👍🏼

[u/Orwick]

What a fucking creep. Hope the judge throws the book at him.

[u/youandeyeinthesky]

What a surprise a kid with a soft name threw this.

[u/hairyairyolas]

Incel looking MFer

[u/gornFlamout]

Finally they catch someone
