If you've seen a moderate amount of anime, you have probably seen something like this:    And well, the thing is, getting flicked on the forehead doesn't actually hurt. Like really, I tried. It does not hurt. But anime makes such a big deal out of it, like getting a cold! While some characters are indeed super powered, I believe the root of the issue is that anime characters simply have a very weak forehead. |
| actually it hurts like hell, my language teacher in school used to do that to us, it was literally torture and we got bumps |

Now THAT actually hurts. |

| It doesn't hurt like a punch, but yeah it can hurt and it's worse when you're unprepared. Try asking someone you know of moderate force to flick you when you least expect and not when you're prepared to receive one, you'll probably change your mind. And even then, it's annoying as hell. |

| Yes it does hurt quite a bit... Just do that to an object like an old remote or old phone and see how far it goes flying.. There's an anime when they used fingure flicking to fight with bottle caps... it's called bottle necks or something like that.. |

| It does hurt, kinda depends on how strong your head/the flick tho.

| Whaaat, you mean to say anime exaggerates things and is not actually a 1:1 representation of real life? Impossible! |
| "And well, the thing is, getting flicked on the forehead doesn't actually hurt." Well it hurts me...maybe I am oversensitive...or the OP doesn't have strong enough fingers or something. |

I guess I'd consider it annoying too... But come on, on the second gif she had like a full second of lag! |
| Them schools you guys went to sound violent... We had a principal like principal kuno from ranma.. I thought he was cosplaying on my 1st day of junior High but apparently not...he liked chasing students trying to get them to cut their hair including the girls.. |

Going to school during communism certainly sounds pretty different... Of course those practices are long outlawed, and even the playgrounds have been ruined by the garbage EU safety regulations. Honestly, the safety features of the playground caused me more injuries than prevented. Playgrounds built from steel and concrete were much more fun! |

| you're probably subconsciously holding back. I just did it on myself full force, and it stung quite a bit |

| It actually hurts. Maybe you just have weak ass noodle fingers. |

But like that plastic and rubbery material on the current playground is horrible. Plus on the wooden castle they added bars so that kids don't fall down, but I just ended p hitting my back on those because they are too low. Falling down wasn't ever an issue..

| It hurts because it's unexpected. Of course it won't hurt if you try it on yourself. Just like you can't tickle yourself. |
Ty so much. I am going to watch these anime now. |
| Well.. I guess you've never tried doing it hard enough it actually does hurt x), I was doing that with my buddies before I even was involved with anime, at Aikido we were doing that to each other, with good technique and speed given to your middle finger while flicking it will hurt, not for a very long time but you'll feel the effects for 1-10 minutes. ateks said: It hurts because it's unexpected. Of course it won't hurt if you try it on yourself. Just like you can't tickle yourself. You can do that to yourself to the extend of being hurt, just as written depends on technique and force/speed not the surprise element it does not work like that x) (just did it 5-10 times right now and well I feel some odd feeling -> I have a bigger physical pain resistance than average so I need to do that with more force/more times to feel it). Just to surprise you, you can tickle yourself especially when you have tickles in your whole body as I have (yes I do have everywhere, it is tiring when everytime I am at barber any movement tickles me) |
