Am I a Bully?

I’m also unaware of Dora or Blues Clues putting in references to R rated Kubrick films.

I don’t know about Dora the Explorer but that kind of stuff happens all the time in shows aimed at small children. It’s because adults that wish they’d chosen other careers have to do the writing and animation so they include references like that to keep themselves from being completely uninterested. It’s why stuff like Spongebob has parodied James Bond and Psycho and other classics that the children watching definitely won’t understand.

What age did you guys get your first girlfriend (or boyfriend)? Because I’m 16 now, and I’ve never gotten so much as a playful kiss on the cheek, let alone gotten into a full fledged relationship. Is that normal or am I just really lame?

I know this won’t be even remotely encouraging, but you’re not missing much. I don’t think I’ve met anyone with fond memories of relationships they’ve had between the ages of 13 and 16. If you want a girl or boyfriend anyway then it’s basically just trial and error. I went through three or four noes before I found someone at that age and I didn’t even like the person I ended up with so don’t go asking people out for the sake of asking them out.

I think that an essential characteristic of bullies is sadism, sexual or otherwise, even if just to a small degree. Anything else is just callousness or assholeness.

sadism? Not sure, but I know my bullies were not driven by anything sexual.

That’s why I said “sexual or otherwise.” Sadism isn’t inherently sexual, it’s just usually assumed. A sadist can cause harm to people for joy, which is what bullies do, right?

All he did was say he felt uncomfortable around them. I think you read to much into it. One can be uncomfortable and yet not hate what one is uncomfortable with.

Couldn’t you apply this to people being uncomfortable with someone that like My Little Pony? Not that it’s a fair comparison, but still.

I guess I was referring to both. But we have had incredibly easy access to firearms and ammunition for years, and I don’t remember these mass shooting happening all the time 30 years ago

The frequency has emboldened more shooters perhaps? Although the murder rate overall has gone down since 30 years ago. The biggest thing, perhaps on par with easy access to guns, is that mental illness goes undiagnosed so often.

Couple things.

  1. The negative comments about effeminate men were actually made by Chyron himself. We merely repeated it.

  2. It’s genuine concern. It’s creepy. And yes we were quite confrontational about wanting to know why a grown man wants to watch a show aimed at 4 year old girls. To quote another member, I firmly believe in supporting people for what they are. That doesn’t mean I have to blindly accept crazy and inappropriate things they do.

  3. Chyron called people names like “thick dumbass retarded monkey”. I can’t speak for others but I never called him any names even though I was directly called a dumbass thick retarded monkey for daring to be alarmed at something so unusual. Whose the bully?

  4. None of us said we fantasized about ripping his throat out. That was all him.

You have a blessed day.

Possessed, you are acting like an idiot.

Oh really?

#1, #3, and #4 are irrefutable facts, correcting someone who didn’t understand them despite having claimed to have read everything.

#2 is obviously something that some of you disagree with (BUT NOT THE DREADED GANG OF FOUR!!!) but that doesn’t make it idiotic.

Yeah, I’m missing the idiocy in this too.
