    I’m sorry, am I supposed to read this as putting someone on blast for being a giant fucking asshole? Cause there’s not really anything in this post to suggest that. This is fucked, my dude. Bullies take their insecurities out on their peers, there’s no benefit to such anti-social behavior. The fuck?

    Ahh yes, the psychological and physical abuse of a bully was a good thing in the 90s. Look at me, I’m a well adjusted individual. Just fine, no creeping sociopathic thoughts regularly, no violent ideation on my former bullies at all. Nope, perfectly normal and made to fit a mold I cannot fit in for the good of society.

    Buzz (Devin Ratray) was an asshole in the movie, accused of rape in real life, and convicted of domestic assault in real life. I guess OOP could have included a picture of Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen), an arguably good person IRL, but time travel proved that he’s a legacy asshole at every stage of his life. Which is what really happens when you praise bullies. You end up with the bully billionaire presidents that all of these movies tried to warn you about.

    There’s a smidge of truth in this for better or worse. Kids learned to fit in and not stand out unless they really had the confidence to pull it off. Misfits found groups to fit in by necessity for protection. Sure we repressed lots of stuff, but we learned to cope in a fucked up world better than kids these days seem to.

      The picture was actually of a crew member’s son. They thought it would be mean to use a girl’s picture.
