Bonster posted:Bullied Girl’s Friend: “Back off, you so-called popular idiots. Do you even know what texting is? In the base of it? Or even how it works? Do you know that it needs an ATSC? An ATSC is often referred to as a ‘digital input’, which negates the need for an external antenna to capture an analog signal. When the conversion happens, it will be essential that the cell you wish to continue using have the ability to receive and translate digital signals. Furthermore, should you decide to utilize a Video Cassette Recorder, you would most likely find it beneficial to connect a converter box to translate the digital signal to an analog recording outlet.” Read this out loud. Seriously, stop what you're doing and read it out loud and try to make it sound like something a normal, functioning human being would say in the context of any conversation ever. Now, in the unlikely event that you succeed, imagine a teenage girl yelling it during an argument.

It's several pages back, but that Dr. Who waiter story still has me really loving annoyed. Everything about it just sets my teeth on edge. If some loving idiot started talking to me in quotes from TV I'd be having a concerned word with his manager, and so would every other normal person. I dunno why this one particular stdh bugs me so much more than the others. I don't even watch the Dr. Who.

Yea basically, this happens a lot with the whole 'oh my god at Pride I saw one float with MEN WEARING THONGS so Pride as a whole is bad' stories. People are super sheltered and have never actually interacted with the gay community outside of stereotypes.

quote:This troper has a Floor length black trenchcoat with skulls and studs on the front, with chains on the side. Teachers and police officers always seem scared when they see it. hell, the first day he wore it, teachers were muttering to eachother about Columbine. people move out of his way in the halls, which is AWESOME. "I really wish that people thought I was scary and dangerous, because I'm a scrawny wuss who everybody picks on."  Bullying A Dragon is brilliant, by the way. Its entirely Tropers getting confused as to why bullies pick on them when they flip the gently caress out for minor insults, or Tropers pretending they are confused as to why bullies pick on them when they can kick them through walls and poo poo just like in my favourite animes guys please pay attention to me quote:This trooper while a freshmen who took martial arts once side kicked a bullying upper classmen in the chest sending him falling back through the glass of a nearby trophy case. Other kid's response was to increase taunting and ridicule for 'going nuts'. Yeah mock the kid who OHKO an effective grown adult...though makes more sense as the school was very clear on their 'don't do that again' policy. "Oi, dork, you mind moving so I can get to my locker?" "YOU HAVE ENRAGED THE DRAGON!" "Don't go nuts or anything dude, just loving move." quote:Personally witnessed by this troper. One kid, who was being humiliated all his life from the same batch of bullies got hit with puberty early. He became a massive man who got into wrestling and studied boxing openly, even writing a report about it. Do these bullies back down? Of course not! Over the course of a week, one bully nearly got his neck broken in wrestling practice, and another bully actually got to EyeScream cry tears of blood as this kid started to rip his face open at the eyes and tried throwing the kid out of a three story building. Aesop: Sometimes the dragon bites back. quote:This troper took "dragon" to a whole new level when he made it clear that the kid with dried pepper in his lunch might know extra things to do with it. He also notes that bullies are like zombies in the sense that causing unimaginable eye pain to one will not deter the next two mooning the powdered-fire-wielding, annoyed kid. Nor will pouring pepper into the bully's pants do a single thing to the first one's morale. Dried. Pepper MinistryofLard has a new favorite as of 12:21 on Aug 24, 2013 |

They were assholes about it to the point people knew they were tropers (we had a different word but for their clique, but they were always on the TV tropes site in class, if we ever got to use computers in a lab or something) and they kept using articles as sources. They all tried to do poo poo like Troper Tales describe and they always saw themselves as the victim/badass even though they were wimpy assholes who were told to gently caress off politely for doing poo poo like glomping Asian girls in the halls and calling them kawaii. They're all into Homestuck now.

Subverted in that I never actually got to beat them, and even when I got to throw in a punch or two, it was so weak they just laughed. So... I wanted to show them they should mess with me. It failed because I wasn't able to actually teach them a lesson. Isn't "subverting" the bully a dragon trope basically just getting bullied successfully? quote:In one roleplay this troper is in, MadScientist one character DistressedDude kidnapped one of her characters. He warned the kidnapper that he had a close friend who would make his life a living hell, LastChanceToQuit and told him that he could just let him go and they wouldn't get TheFederation to come and arrest him. Did he listen? Nope. Now LadyOfWar Runa and a whole friggin' army are attackin the planet. It totally counts as a badass bully beatdown if your PC's fictional armies threaten the made-up planet of another PC, I guess.

It makes me laugh thinking that all these weedy kids turn into Conan the Barbarian and go nuts when they are pushed too far, when I've seen this happen, it usually has the person in question flailing around like a windmill, or going into crying hysterics, no epic beatdowns for sure.

Dances With Fat posted:I was five miles into a nine mile training walk for my upcoming marathon when your car pulled up beside me, I didn’t think much of it until I heard you yell “HEY FAT BITCH!” I stopped and turned to look at you and you took that opportunity to throw 2 eggs and, somewhat inexplicably, an empty egg carton, at me.

It's described as a training walk, so she's probably going to walk the marathon. Plenty of people do that -- it still gives them a chance for some healthy exertion, even if less than running it would provide, and for someone who's elderly or really out of shape in some way, walking five miles without stopping can be an accomplishment in itself. That part of the story I have no problem with. The rest, however...

I like League of Legends, doesn't mean I have to drop League references. It doesn't mean if I was a waitress, I'd say "Oh, TGI Friday's? No, this is TGI Dravens!", "Where would you like to sit?

You haven't lived until you put on a nice outfit, feel reel good about yourself, go for a walk, get "put some pants on fatty" shouted at you from some passing car, then right after that some other guy tells you to SMILE, IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD because God forbid a woman ever be grumpy in public. When I walked down another block and passed the bus station, the guy who made a lewd comment about my tits got one hell of an earful. I was a skinny 19 year old that day and that poo poo is still in my memory like the day it happened, one of those things that reminds you of your "place" and how you will always be seen by a lot of people. Yeah, getting "policed" by total strangers for everything from existing to the acceptable expressions on your face to whether or not someone likes your breasts is one of those experiences women get to have.

In fact, she's part of a really big group doing it, and there's always at least twenty of them, cosplaying, in character. Yup, it's stupid, and it's annoying as balls, but they still end up in the newspaper almost every time.
