I think it genuinely is. It's one of those things about being British that I've never really liked. Someone you barely know insults you but in the cadence of "Hey you seem like you're a nice guy who can take a joke". If you take it well and give it back then you are a good guy and will receive more banter. If you don't then you're a oval office who can't take a joke and marked out for more banter, but less shielded and more openly bullying. It's the social interaction equivalent of those youtube prank videos where someone smashes up a Tesco but in a Spiderman costume.

i dunno i'm british and i think this is very accurate

This is a very poor understanding of the deep intricacies of British banter culture

P sure Gonzo is from this hellish island of Covid and Tories. And as someone else from the UK yes, it's very accurate. Receiving 'bants' is largely indistinguishable from someone being a dick to you a lot of the time.

I learned everything I know about English culture from the 2004 classic The Football Factory. You basically divide your time between torturing your mates with bantz and assaulting Millwall fans.

Your ruling class, as they are trained from birth to be sociopathic, have taken up cruelty as a passtime and are passing along their maladaptive practices to those for whom empathy is still somewhat of a natural impulse.

Yes, banter is often a thinly veiled excuse to act like a oval office. TBH I thought it had died off with Nuts & Zoo magazines.

It worked, even if it has more sugar than literal cake frosting.
