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.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
