    Yep true! I think it went from “all Video Games get you bullied” -> “not playing the right video games gets you bullied” -> videogames now widespread and won’t get you bullied, but I there’s probably a bit of the previous two going on in some schools.

      I remember being teased for liking Halo 3 because everyone else was obsessed with COD for being “realistic”.

  I agree with you, I am fairly large and I changed schools frequently. Every new school id be bullied for first few weeks and it would only stop when bullies realise I can beat them more than they can beat me, and that i wouldn’t shy away from confrontation. But liking Anime was like top two reasons

  The most memorable is I was new to school and 12. I had a Keychain attached to my bag of bato from GiTS, not even motoko, at first this guy thought he was GI Joe and it was fine, then he asked more about the figure and upon learning it’s anime, he stole it… And about 2 days later decided with two of his friends, I need to taught anime bad by shoving it down my throat. Two friends held my hand and the psycho was getting me to open my mouth to shove it in, when I broke free from one of the friend and punched him so hard it broke his nose, then kicked one other guy in nuts. I fucking ran to staff room to have some adult around. Well I almost got kicked out of school. But some 16-17 year old bystander girl went out of her way to explain everything. And I only got suspended for a week. Stories like this were common everytime I change schools, bullies test me, they realise I am not willing to fight before going down and thankfully being large, I could do some serious damage. They’d give up bullying after a few months. And then a year or two later, new school. Rinse and repeat.

    That being said, I also hated kids who did Naruto runs and called me senpai. I didn’t bully them, but I don’t think I ever tried to stop them from being bullied.

      That’s suddenly reminded me of how I had a high school friend who tried to use me as a bodyguard, always getting himself into the stupidest situations and aggravating random people

        I relate to that. Since I would be stopped from bullying at some point, the other bullied kids would generally hang around me with the hopes of me being bodyguard. And most kids were just nice kids that needed break from being bullied.

        But in grade 8 there was this kid, who wasn’t even bullied that much, mostly because he was a phenomenal runner and was really good at running away and also really good at spotting bullies. He’d keep preaching stuff like “fuck bullies” and “bullies don’t deserve the world” and other nonsense. But the kid sometimes was just an asshole.

        One day the kid threw glue in hair of a couple of girls, obviously the strong girl from class with a couple of “bully” dudes came looking for payback and he thought I’d fight on his behalf after avoiding beating for like two entire days. I literally held him by arm till the “bully” kids took charge at beating his ass.

        Anyway I guess my point is, it’s complex bullying and anti-bullying. Some people take advantage of the wrong things.

      I can’t remember a single person in my school life who ever did anything like this. Usually it went like “I watch Pokemon” -> straight to bullying.
