  She was bullied for other reasons. Most significantly being as eccentric as her parents.

    That does tend to happen to children that are half human and half flying squid

      At least she can spray ink on her enemies and then fly away.

        Good tactic for almost any situation in life imo

    Honestly being bullied for a weird name just feels like victim blaming. It’s just someone else’s shitty behaviour we’re expected to dance around? That was the one problem with the name.

      I don’t disagree, but it’s also a parental responsibility, in my opinion, to help your child avoid bullying. It’s not possible to avoid entirely, but there are definitely ways to make it worse. And a weird name is one of them.

        Give a kid a weird name and the bully will pick on them but set a bully on fire… no… wait, I think I got that wrong.

      It may be someone else’s problem, but as a parent , you should consider your child’s well being when naming them, and try to avoid obvious pitfalls

        I mean yes obviously, but still. Just angering me we have to fight human shittiness with something like this
