Members of the LGBT+ community, for one. People who are neurodivergent commonly face bullying as well.
Honestly though, you're right.
And this thread is nuts with the victim blaming. Like holy shit, society really does deserve its problems.
Every time I look at the comments for one of these posts, that's what's going on at the top. I can usually see where people are coming from even if it sounds insane but I don't know what this community's problem is. Maybe a coping strategy from being bullied themselves? It could make them feel like they were in control of it. I've seen that from victims of trauma before.vThat's all I've got for theories.
I guess I just went to a really chill college?
All 4 years of my undergrad my best friend and roommate was a trans woman, we regularly hosted parties where most attendees were members (or even e-board members of) the pride club, i have severe ADHD and many of my closest friends are varying flavors of autistic. As a matter of fact I am still to this day part of a weekly DnD campaign with several of those dick heads.
All that is to say I have a pretty good idea what my college's culture was like for LGBT and neuro divergent people. Probably the most common point of conversation whenever high-school came up was that college was so so so much better about bullying.
I think the only person i know of who got bullied by any stretch of the imagination, was one guy that people just actively avoided because he fucking sucked. Like real piece of shit energy radiating from this guy, and he smelled like 4 year old bottled up farts.
