On the one hand, anon, I really get it. I was bullied so badly I had to switch schools, among many other things. It was over stuff like that, I was openly into video games, anime, and alt fashion basically my whole life, so I never had a chance. I get it. It's awful, it stays with you for life, and I'm really sorry you went through it. I switched schools in 2008, so we're on a really similar timeline I think. And if the kids you dealt with were anything like the ones I did, it must have been brutal.

But on the other, I can only imagine how happy my younger self would be to see kids like me having friends and being loved for it. To see video games become so mainstream that nobody even blinks anymore. That's the world I dreamed of back then. It's not any more their fault for being loved as it was ours for being bullied, you know? It's okay to wish you had that. It's okay to mourn what could have been if you'd been born in a different time, a different place. Putting that anger on others, though, for just loving the things they love when they didn't do anything wrong - it's not really different from what happened to us, is it?
