    This is the kind of shit I think of whenever someone says "we need to bring back bullying" or "nerds don't get bullied enough anymore."

      I don’t know if bullying would necessarily help Ad ops programmers be better at their jobs. We should just destroy the internet before it gets worse lol

      Bullying is cool when it's a group of people correcting someone's attitude (eg. Individual kid like harassing girls, or bullying weaker kids) shun them and mock them until they correct their behavior, then allow them back into the group.

      Physical assault is bad. And those who try and do it should be shunned and mocked by the greater collective.

        This is not a thing that has ever happened anywhere ever.

          You're right, would be awesome if that worked though. Isn't that kinda the idea behind "combatting liberalism"? To use bullying as a form of policing thought instead of actual police?

        I guess that's just not what I think of when I think of bullying. In my experience in middle and high school, actual shitty people rarely or never got bullied. The targets were almost universally neurodiverse kids, or disabled kids, or kids who weren't conventionally attractive, or anyone who came to the defense of those groups.

          No, I agree, I'm just saying bullying would be good if it was basically the opposite of how it is in most cases. The people who need bullying are the people who are rarely bullied.
