It's not a word that can, or should be, "reclaimed".

Dunking on chuds/libs/etc. is awesome, but it doesn't need that specific framing.

    more so than the right wing kids who were more likely to have been the bully

    I don't think that rings true tbh. Like sure, right wing as per definition of a leftist, but if your schoolmates perceived you as right wing, good chance you were bullied for being a fucking loser

      Depends on school culture, more rural and suburban schools definitely have a very conservative dominant culture typically. Also in Canada hockey players take the role of the athletic kids and hockey tends to have a very reactionary culture compared to other sports

        The point I've failed to make here is that this doesn't register as right-wing to the given community, it registers as normal. I think nigh everybody who would register as right-wing to a rural or suburban school or canadian hockey players is going to get bullied for it because after that dominant culture it's all just loser shit like talking about phrenology or whatever

          Ah okay I see that makes sense, the kid who gets into esoteric fascism and Evola definitely gets bullied
