Everyone has an obligation not to be a dick. If you're going to be like that, you deserve the consequence of punishment. Not praise, but that's all this guy gets.

[nanslice]

I don't think it's being a dick? It's just being honest. "I don't like you." If that's all he said, that's...not mean? He didn't put them down, he didn't laugh in their faces, he just told them he didn't like them.

[(Anonymous)]

At that age, if I told a classmate I didn't like them and they cried, then kept doing it over and over to more classmates, I would have gotten a time out at the very least. I take that as evidence that it's dickish behavior.

[nanslice]

Well that's ridiculous. A child is allowed to turn down suitors without being reprimanded for it.

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously. That would be horrible lesson to teach kids.

(I am a neurotic, and very un-blunt person, but even I don't think "I don't like you" ranks on the worst things to say meter.)

[(Anonymous)]

If he was going around telling girls he didn't like them, you might have a point. But they were bugging him with unwanted attention.

[(Anonymous)]

If the kid was approaching them to do this, then yes, I'd be worried. If they're approaching him, though, and he's attempting to rebuff them, I'd be less so, especially if you add in that the kids approaching him are being mean to someone he considers a friend. Being polite is one thing, but if he's being repeatedly harassed, by people who are consistently rude about someone he cares about, frustration would be understandable. It doesn't look like he's escalating behaviour, seeking them out, or attempting to fight them/punish them in any other way. If he's just being blunt every time they come at him, I wouldn't be happy with the situation, but I wouldn't punish him for it. He's trying to defend himself and his friend from unwanted attention from kids who obviously don't care very much for either of their feelings.

If anything, I'd be inclined to wonder why none of those kids have learned from his response to their classmates. At the very least, you'd think they'd refrain from badmouthing the friend where he'd hear them or find out about it before they approached him, since that clearly has not gone well for anyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

So the alternative is...what? Lead them on by pretending to like them?

Do you think it's dickish to not "give someone a chance" when you have no interest in them?

[(Anonymous)]

As others have said, the context for this is each girl is making a romantic confession. (The Japanese equivalent of "Will you be my boyfriend?") The girls cry because he turns them down flat. Which I don't blame him for. I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone who talks trash about my friends. Would you?

So let the girls cry. And I'm saying this as someone of the female persuasion.

[(Anonymous)]

"I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone who talks trash about my friends. Would you?"

Their only choice is to say they'd be fine with it, because otherwise they'd have to admit they're the kind of person other people don't want to be in a relationship with.

[(Anonymous)]

they're kids and then eventually teenagers. it's scary enough to confess to someone, especially get rejected from someone you really like (even though you just shit talked about their friend).

maybe they didn't realize that just maybe talking shit about someone's friend is a guaranteed way to get rejected?

[nanslice]

Well then this has been a valuable learning experience. Especially since all he said was "I don't like you."

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

right?? especially since the girls used takeo to get closer to suna. like what the fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Oh wow nooooo. Yeah, I worded that super ambiguously, sorry. I meant OP, not the kids in the series. OP admitted downthread they talk shit about people behind their backs and don't think it's wrong. So, OP would have to say they'd be fine with being in a relationship with someone who talks shit about a friend of theirs, because otherwise, OP would have to acknowledge they're doing something wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

ohh, i'm sorry about that!

honestly, it's one thing to talk shit about someone but it's another thing when you're actively trying to get with that someone's friend (romantically) by using them. why would he want to put them down gently after the shit they've said about him??
