[CW: Suicide] Any time I see "Bullying Works" or "bullying" being used positively on here, I think of shit like this (www.youtube.com)

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.

It is actually. I was bullied when I was younger and it fucked me up, which is why it makes me uncomfortable seeing the word used positively.

Some here are taking a bad faith interpretation like I'm saying "BULLYING NAZIS IS LIKE BULLYING THIS CHILD!1!1" when it should be pretty obvious that's not what I'm getting at. I feel there's a bullying culture in society at large that enables bullying, not just of children but indeed adults too, and that uses of the word like this aren't helping.
