do you guys remember in like 2018-2020 shy kids would get labeled as a potential school shooter and ppl made βbeing nice to the quiet kid so they cross me off their listβ jokes towards them??
@TomEddswor3461 yeah unfortunately these r not jokes. theyβve been doing this to black kids or anyone that isnβt white. if the kid is white then βhe must secretly be trans!!β or some bs to push their harmful views.
@ihearttraffic this reminds of when the teacher said a dumb joke to me, i laughed and EVERYONE stopped doing what they were doing and looked at me. got hit with the βyou actually smiled??β line. ever since then i made it my goal to keep smiling in public, itβs so tiring.
@TransMaraJade no ur right. i just entered middle school around 2018-2020 and only then experienced it for the first time, the fact that everyone has phones now made those jokes explode bcs of social media (tiktok)
@unfassbardupi thatβs completely fair. i only specified the yrs cus then when **i** experienced it first hand. in elementary school no one made those jokes and in high school everyone phased out of those jokes, at least in my experience.
@TuskActs4 i think school shootings were on a rise at the time or ppl were just made more aware?? naturally ppl were incredibly paranoid abt it. being the shy emo kid had some ppl looking at you like this
