| I mean, we already dogpile certain groups like weaboos openly and it's considered acceptable. Why not others who display socially and mentally embarrassing behavior? Make them keep in line and in turn toughen them up since the real world will eat them alive. Turning the world into one global hug box isn't working and we're starting to see the after effects of this fool's folly. |

| I understand your point but bullying isn't the answer to that. In fact it could make them become ever more radicalized into whatever group they are in. Educating people on what socially acceptable behavior looks like and encouraging them to follow it is a much better option. After all if we are going to toughen people up for the real world turning them into bullies who feel justified in their toxic behavior won't actually do much to prepare them for the real world. |

| When bullying & Bullies were a real thing the world was in much better place/much saner than it is now. This coming from a guy that was bullied to Kingdom come back in the late 80's early 90's. For being "a stinking hom0" amongst other things. At least back then all our SCOTUS knew what a woman was and weren't afraid to openly define in public what a woman is. And back then everyone knew that boys have a pen!s and girls have a v@gina. |

| Mmmmm.... I see your point, and I kind of understand it. And first of all, I want to say that I was bullied on school and online, I know how that side feels. Maybe the word "Bulling" is too hard, tbh, but yeah we are living in a world in which everyone thing reality and society blends to them, that nobody can offend them or they are crossing the line, when in reality they are the ones imposing themself to others. Look no further than Tik Tok or Instagram of video of people doing dumb shit without thinking in the others, they do this because everything is their playground. Or when they screw up and then just pull of the phone to play the victim. The best way to see this is watching kids on kindergarten: for many kids this is the first time interacting with another child, and in their house everything moves around them. This causes a lot of friction and conflict. But the result is that kids learn to interact with each other, and what lines they cant cross because it will upset people. Once again, maybe bulling is a word too hard, but yeah, western society need a little bit of conflict in their classes: kids standing up for what they think and what upset them from the others. To not be afraid that if they say something impopular, they will be death on social media (another topic on its own, but also related) and in reality. |

| Some social shaming is fine by me. Give someone a side eye or call them a dick for being rude if you want. Bullying implies something very extreme though. Usually violence. We shouldn't socialize children to think the way you resolve disputes is through violence or abuse. That would be unacceptable in the adult world and should be considered unacceptable among children. It's actually doing the exact opposite of prepare them for the real world. |

| Social shaming is just a tool; in other words, it's loyal to no ideology. Just as easily as you can be socially exiled for justifiable reasons (e.g. being a furry or something), you can also be socially exiled for being sane when everyone else is insane. For example, claiming men can't be women. Not only is supporting "bullying" bad optics, it's also just too indirect. Just practice and support good values until people see evidence that those values are good (or at least until those values have a certain amount of cultural cache and influence), and bullying that reinforces those values will naturally emerge. People don't need any prodding to be vicious to other people, they just need assurance that the system has their back when they do it. |

| @Text101 Have no personal stake over it. I'm just asking what makes them "most cringe." Surely there are more socially embarrassing actions and beliefs than loving Japan over anything else. |

| Bullying still exists brother the focus has just shifted in the western world. No longer are undesirable men called 'nerds' they are now 'creepy incels'. That, and unless you are in a rough school, bullying will typically be in the form of en masse social exclusion and verbal/digital harassment instead of pure physical violence, although that still happens too. |

| @Text101 Bullying certain groups certainly isn't, but we're veering away from the discussion. Why single out weebs among other deviants? What makes their hyperobsession with Japan trump any other social faux-pas? Is this simply because you're an anime fan and you feel the need to go full counter-reaction or any other personal grievance towards them? Because from an outsider's point of view, like KenaiPhoenix said, weaboos aren't top dog of the bullybait hierarchy. Not by a long shot. |

| @monsta666 "I mean if someone is fat for example does calling them a pig result in them losing weight?" I feel like the premise of bullying being good carries an unspoken implication that a huge plurality of people is never very good at nuance or moderation. Which is true. So between two extremes (e.g. "bully fatties" vs. "encourage obesity by calling 400 lb women healthy and stunning"), it's better to tend toward the extreme that produces healthier results. With that said, people as individuals can practice nuance, and somebody's who's incredibly obese should be rewarded for trying to exercise or better themselves. Unfortunately though a lot of the people under the banner of "body positivity," "inclusivity," etc. are just insanely dysgenic people and want to encourage/reward lack of health. |
