      I remember when i was around 15-16 in the playstation 2 times i think. I had a game that was called anarchy or something, i honestly don’t remember, but still think about it from time to time. I didn’t really know what to do in the game to progress, but it was a lot of gunning down random people in a mall. And i don’t mean gta 5 style, just hordes of civilians. I played that a lot while blasting system of a down. For some reason i found it really relaxing. Never touched a gun, never wanted to touch a gun, never had the desire to shoot anyone.
      BUT i can totally understand how entering that bedroom as a parent and seeing this, it looks pretty problematic

      White cis het boys can be absolutely ruthless to their own. That said the columbine kids were absolutely the bullies not the victims as they are frequently portrayed.

      Is your claim that white straight kids don’t get bullied or…? I mean, its not a competition

        If bullying caused school shooters there would be way more black/gay/trans doing it. But it’s mostly white boys

      cis het white boys are taking a rapid demographic downward spiral. They’re far more likely to be afflicted by loneliness, and far less likely to go to college. When clearly both of those opportunities are available to them, which I imagine internalizes that “failure.”
