Op's feelings are valid, but so are everyone else's who feels the opposite. There is no universal way to feel about things, especially when it involves wanting fictional characters to kiss.

Don't discredit others' experience just because they enjoy something that you don't-

You were bullied and you hate the bully/bullied ship dynamic as a result? Cool, valid.

You were bullied and you enjoy the bully/bullied ship dynamic as a result? Also cool, also valid.

I understand the discomfort some may have with the bully/bullied dynamic. But at the end of the day, these are fictional characters that we're talking about, and most people can separate fiction from reality and therefore aren't bothered by a fanfic.

Also "romancitizing bully x bullied" has been around long before fanfic. It stems from a lot of stuff already established, such as the "boys will be boys" mindset, since it's been applied to "oh that boy is picking on you? he must have a crush on you!"

Also why is your 2nd grader (aged 7-8) cousin watching some YT show unsupervised? Why blame the fictional scenario in the show? Where are her parents? Why aren't her parents watching it with her to tell her "that kid is bullying the other kid, that isn't okay"?

As I always say: education is key and can counter any media that "romanticizes bully x bullied."

But I guess it's easier to blame the internet and bkdk shippers for kids believing that their bully's behavior is okay

If you find the tweet, please don't bother OP about it, they're only 14. Ofc leave it to twitter to boost the take of a 9th grader who hasn't yet grasped the concept of "my thoughts and feelings on this complex subject aren't universal law"

Hell, a lot of grown adults haven't grasped that concept either actually so it's just an issue with twitter boosting the takes of people like that, but at least this op has some time to grow still
