Videos captured Gaines, in town for his Toxic Masculinity Tour and a controversial University of Texas debate, along with others, scuffling with two individuals described by many as transgender or gay men who started with heckling. Gaines posted afterward that they tried to avoid the fight but defended themselves, using strong slurs to describe his brother ragdolling one opponent. Supporters called it self-defense after provocation, while critics questioned the response and language amid ongoing online shares and new angles.
