If you’re going to write a power fantasy for the internet at least make it cool. Add some lasers or epic street fights. Add in some part where you outsmart the librul professor who hates god. “I found a job in a shitty industry and only prostitutes will fuck me” is not the flex you think it is.
You forget prostitute’s go away which means you don’t have to deal with their shenanigans…I learned that from Chef on South Park.
Alright, this is my opportunity to write something stupid. If I offer any degree of inanity at all, it will be received at least reasonably well. There are no wrong answers. I just have to write a non sequitur or reference an internet joke from 10 or more years ago and I’m golden, it’s the easiest thing in the world. Maybe even a faux onomatopoeia would work. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do, just write something brief and extremely uninspired. Yeah. It’ll require the least effort for the return. That’s what I should do. Just write out a snippet of stupidity and hit reply. That’s what I should do.
Who fucking gets bullied in college?
People who didn’t get bullied enough in high school and are usually outspoken libertarians.
Outspoken libertarians aren’t going to be bullied in college - outspoken anything in college generally leads to people ignoring you. College students that think they’re being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying - just like incels treat normal human interactions as impediments to getting laid.
Your first sentence is somewhat correct, I’d argue that dealing with any kind of absolute like you have done is incredibly dumb though. Of course being outspoken can get you bullied. It may be less likely in a university/college setting, but it’s definitely gonna happen. And your second second sentence is so wrong it’s almost comical. Bullying at a tertiary education level is so common that I guarantee there’s a bunch of studies done on it and probably a wiki page for it too.
Edit: lol, yep, shit loads of studies (and there’s plenty more to be found than just these few), and the wiki exists.

This. The specific problem my alma mater ran into was all the conservative students saying they were getting bullied, and when asked how they were bullied, the response was basically “People disagreed with me and now they don’t want to hang out with me!”
Sometimes I wonder if they’d actually been bullied, if their tune would’ve been different…
Genuine answer: annoying people who inject themselves into social circles in which they’re unwelcome. And, no, I’m not defending bullying. I’m just explaining how it happens.
Yeah… This maybe isn’t the nicest way to phrase it, but I’ve seen similar situations. Usually people are just kind of talking behind people’s backs, but sometimes it gets nasty :(. Frankly people kind of get bullied all the time everywhere. It’s maybe not as violent as playground bullying but people will be shitty to people at work, school, whatever. Do your best not to be a part of it, try to be self aware if you might hurt somebody else’s feelings, and try to stand up for people.
Also the idiot with samurai swords on the wall and a lack of good hygiene skills.
Members of the LGBT+ community, for one. People who are neurodivergent commonly face bullying as well.
Honestly though, you’re right.
And this thread is nuts with the victim blaming. Like holy shit, society really does deserve its problems.
Every time I look at the comments for one of these posts, that’s what’s going on at the top. I can usually see where people are coming from even if it sounds insane but I don’t know what this community’s problem is. Maybe a coping strategy from being bullied themselves? It could make them feel like they were in control of it. I’ve seen that from victims of trauma before.vThat’s all I’ve got for theories.
I guess I just went to a really chill college?
All 4 years of my undergrad my best friend and roommate was a trans woman, we regularly hosted parties where most attendees were members (or even e-board members of) the pride club, i have severe ADHD and many of my closest friends are varying flavors of autistic. As a matter of fact I am still to this day part of a weekly DnD campaign with several of those dick heads.
All that is to say I have a pretty good idea what my college’s culture was like for LGBT and neuro divergent people. Probably the most common point of conversation whenever high-school came up was that college was so so so much better about bullying.
I think the only person i know of who got bullied by any stretch of the imagination, was one guy that people just actively avoided because he fucking sucked. Like real piece of shit energy radiating from this guy, and he smelled like 4 year old bottled up farts.
interesting & weird since tobacco is exhorbitantly expensive. How can poor people afford it?
If you’re getting bullied in college you’re just doing it wrong.
Eventually you have to step back and wonder, “Am I just a piece of shit?”. Ask yourself this question, then look at your screen. Are you on 4chan? Do you have Pepe images on your post? If you answered yes to these questions, there’s a high probability that you’re just a piece of shit.
Reducing 4chan to its mediatic extremes is like reducing Reddit to the_donald or Lemmy to Hexbear.
This ignores that 4chan is widely known as the cesspool of the internet and attracts those types. It’s like going on Hexbear and being surprised at the communists. People gather where their banners are. Shit attracts shit. This reduction is apt.
Sure it kind of does some good ish things sometimes, but more often than not, it’s just an internet mob internet mobbing. That’s essentially all it is: chaos waves constantly crashing back in on itself. Any good that comes from it is incidental at best.
Also, defending 4chan on the wider Internet is a little odd, 4chan itself revels in its shit reputation…
Genuine question: What do you think I, as a member of the LGBT+ community, did wrong that resulted in being bullied while in college?
You didn’t press up down down left right up down on the d-pad when beginning college.
For anyone who believes any part of this, I have a fantastic bridge-based real estate opportunity for you.
oh so THAT’S what compels people to work in the tobacco industry. I get it now. Vengeance is yours. You’ve earned it.
