The personalities bullies targeted in the 90s are not the personalities causing the issues with modern day society.

For the most part, you're probably correct, but Elon Musk would've been bullied mercilessly in my high school, and it probably could've instilled some sense of self awareness if he had been.
I think the same is probably true of Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance.
"Bullying works" is one of those really nasty, regressive takes that always shocks me when it appears in otherwise progressive spaces
I'm sorry, am I supposed to read this as putting someone on blast for being a giant fucking asshole? Cause there's not really anything in this post to suggest that. This is fucked, my dude. Bullies take their insecurities out on their peers, there's no benefit to such anti-social behavior. The fuck?
Ahh yes, the psychological and physical abuse of a bully was a good thing in the 90s. Look at me, I'm a well adjusted individual. Just fine, no creeping sociopathic thoughts regularly, no violent ideation on my former bullies at all. Nope, perfectly normal and made to fit a mold I cannot fit in for the good of society.
Buzz (Devin Ratray) was an asshole in the movie, accused of rape in real life, and convicted of domestic assault in real life. I guess OOP could have included a picture of Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen), an arguably good person IRL, but time travel proved that he's a legacy asshole at every stage of his life. Which is what really happens when you praise bullies. You end up with the bully billionaire presidents that all of these movies tried to warn you about.
What morons upvoted this idiocy?
What? No. Why?
Yeah, I don't get this. It sounds like a dumb take by people who want an excuse to keep bullying people.
Yay for concentration camps ... Or something.
Um no
Hell no, even.
This is the real reason for the rise in autism. /s
And something tells me that she was the sort worth fighting for.
The picture was actually of a crew member's son. They thought it would be mean to use a girl's picture.
There's a smidge of truth in this for better or worse. Kids learned to fit in and not stand out unless they really had the confidence to pull it off. Misfits found groups to fit in by necessity for protection. Sure we repressed lots of stuff, but we learned to cope in a fucked up world better than kids these days seem to.
Disagree, social or physical bullying is about the same effect, except the risk of physically hurting someone is exchanged with the social risk of pushing people towards depression, self-harm, and suicide.
