That's the point you know. Kids insulting one another is to help them build defenses against the real world. I think this is like psychology 101 stuff. It's natural to do, and does - in fact - help children grow.

    But the lesson is "it's not cool to call your friends fat" and "you can call out your friends if they're being mean" or even "avoid people who make you feel bad". You clearly got the wrong message here.

    There are shitty people and we have to deal with that, but that doesn't make these people any less shitty. We know how social consequences work, and you think you know as well, but why you gotta constantly take the shitty people's side here? Unless... Hmmm... 🤔

    But my viewpoint is probably skewed as fuck, because I've been on the internet since I was 14 and have had to deal with the worst of it since day 1.

    It's almost like you can't read.

    Do we have evidence for that?
