People will get bullied over anything, it's not just anime. It's a clash of personalities or cultures. Sometimes, it’s about power dynamics, other times it's just about tearing someone else down to feel better about themselves or for status in some group.

My girlfriend has twins and one of them gets bullied for not wearing dresses. The other doesn't. She is so young that the other girls who bully her just started to even understand the difference between a dress snd pants.

You can also bullied for not doing something, as much as you can for doing something, or not doing something in a sufficiently symbolically popular way.

Like the Ribbon episode in Seinfeld, where Kramer supports the AIDS walk, but he doesn't want to wear the AIDS ribbon on his shirt, so he gets assaulted by a gang of ribbon wearers.

I had a similar incident where I didn't want to wear trans pride flags for an event, but I supported the event, but still pro-trans bullies wanted to paint me as trans hating bigot for not wearing their flag. It was just power-tripping weirdos, for whom the irony of their insistence of social conformity of others appearances and behaviors was lost. Because hey, they bullying you doing it for a Good Cause, so it's OK when they do it.
