Face-slapping? Like Face-palming? 🤔

Hmm... Someone explain to me again the context of Face-slapping.

I see a lot of it in works, but still trying to understand the general context of it. The times I've read have been hilarious. Not sure if that's supposed to be the trope's purpose.

    Veronica8 Basically refers to a situation where everyone trash-talks the main character or insults him/her, often thinking that he/she is trash or low status or whatever. Then it turns out that the main character is either super-rich, or has a powerful backer behind him/her, or is super-powerful and defeats the so-called strongest genius, or use politics to outsmart his/her attackers. Then all the people calling him/her trash or insulting him/her as having low status/no background and connections/poor/weak, etc. end up being humiliated because they trash-talked the main character so loudly earlier, and he/she proved them wrong to such a huge extent that it feels like a slap in the face. You know, like how your face burns when you're super-embarrassed?

    Can also be a literal slapping, where the villain insults or tries to get the main character into trouble, but because the main character ends up being strong/has powerful backing or connections, etc. he/she can slap the villain for insulting him/her and there's nothing the poor bugger can do about it.

    The purpose of the trope is usually wish fulfilment or power fantasy, especially for people who are often scorned upon or looked down in life, only to reveal that they are actually powerful and can slap other people for looking down on them, then get away with it. Sort of like the time when you faced bullying during your childhood, and you resent people for insulting you/looking down on you. So you want that feeling of elation when you take revenge on them and prove them/their insults wrong.

        Tomoyuki very nicely explained
        It would be better to include an explanation for ppl like me who don’t ubderstand the full meaning of this word

            Tomoyuki oh you did great job here
            I meant as a suggestion
            I mean to put such detailed explanation in the event page, that would help a lot.

                Yuren_Liu Ah, I get it. This is too bad since I just started an account out of boredom and was looking for new things to try out... :D Thank you for the ​clarification!

                    MaliciousBurial I decided to use the search instead. Although I don't have the filter, I can still use the sound and posted. You can still do that or watch other posts!

                        How will Webnovel know which accounts to give the Tiktok badge to? Because there are no link between Webnovel and Tiktok accounts?

                        Also, I'm one of those who wants the Tiktok badge for sure ☺

                        And are we who are outside the region screwed in this event?
