I’m tired of people claiming that depictions of bullying are cliche and unoriginal

[Strawberry Banana Sundae]

I’m fed up with people saying attractive people (mainly upper-class cis white males) cannot get bullied, because they can. I’m tired of people whining about how depictions of bullying nowadays are just cliches and “get sympathy free” cards and just insulting real victims of bullying. In short, I’m personally sick and tired of people complaining that bullying has been depicted wrong in some way shape or form. I don’t care one bit how it’s portrayed. Bullying is still bullying no matter who the victim or perpetrator is. Anyone can get bullied, especially online when we have no clue who the identity of the victim is. There’s also a chance that anyone can BE a bully at one point, most of them due to having experiences of being bullied. I recommend you look into this article to see the details why I’m fed up with this claim:

Cheap Depictions of Bullying Are Now on Our Hit List

We’ve all seen it countless times: the good-looking and talented protagonist goes to school, only to be physically assaulted by villainous children. These bullies don’t like the protagonist because they’re new to the school, or their parent is dead, or they’re different in some invisible and...

Agree. Bullying is not confined to female, gay or dark skinned victims.
Sometimes people from "oppressed" groups are the bullies.
Sometimes the one crying "victim" is the actual bully. These days victim leverage can occur. One example comes to mind. Protesters who claim police are being violent towards just by asking them to move on or indeed arresting them .

Amen to that. I learned not to engage in any fights and instead talk about my experiences. I used to get involved in a bunch of fights (physical AND verbal) when I was younger and I would get my ass kicked EVERY TIME, don’t matter who is doing it to me. Hell even my parents did this to me. I’ve had very little friends and they moved away before I entered high school. I’ve also seen plenty of videos of victims (both men and women) trying to stand up to their bullies by fighting and most of them keep getting their asses beaten while the bully keeps bragging about how tough and awesome they are. What’s even sadder is that these videos are viral and heavily influenced to a negative degree. I don’t want to wish any pain and misery to anyone even though what they’re doing is unforgivable.
