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.

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.
