>>21623859one time i was bullying a kid in high school and i was letting this cute girl in on the joke and she was all "that's so mean!" and it really shocked me for a second. like, obviously it was mean, but the thought that someone would object to cruelty and had the social capital to do it publicly was what was shocking. it was honestly one of the most bewildering and stunning moments of my life and i'll never forget it. the thought that there was a social alternative to negativity or that it wasn't obviously profitable to direct it towards someone else was just too much, i couldn't deal with it. i think i laughed and just said "ya..."
anyways i realized then that cute rich girls live in a totally different world than i did, that's for sure.
