the fantasy genre turns people into royalists so fast. i’m not even talking about return of the true king fairytales here but i mean, like, when there’s a “who will become king/queen!” plotline and people immediately start genuinely talking about who has the rightful claim. can we all sit down and first agree that none of these people “should” be king or queen because that isn’t a thing that should happen to people. what century are you from. divine right isn’t real go back to sleep

someone: hi

me: did you know the narrative that school shooters in the US are all bullying victims is false and originates from inaccurate coverage of one of the most infamous school shootings, the columbine shooting? in reality the columbine shooters were reactionaries who isolated themselves deliberately and followed an ideology that positioned them "above" the rest. so, a lot of school shooters are actually ideologically motivated rather than revenge motivated. no one knows this and the media paints these murderers as victims. do you want to know what the columbine effect is? also I have a lot to say about "stranger danger" as a conservative fear campaign to promote the isolated nuclear family

You're on the right track, but this is still a reductionist belief regarding the phenomenon of mass murder. Claiming that bullying has absolutely nothing to do with it is just as harmful as pushing the idea that all mass murderers are simply bullied loners.

I'll start off with the idea that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold weren't bullied - this is simply untrue, Dylan Klebold's writings as well as witness testimony from those who knew him and Eric Harris document the bullying they faced. You can read about this in Sue Klebold's book "A Mother's Reckoning" as well as in Brooks Brown's book "No Easy Answers: The Truth Behind Death at Columbine". I don't say this to diminish or excuse their actions, nor to claim that they weren't bullies themselves as well (they were!) but because it's important to have the full picture when discussing cases like this.

As for the argument of ideology, there is academic evidence about how hate groups such as white supremacists specifically target people who are young, lost, and disenfranchised. In this same way, sometimes kids who are bullied and full of rage look to Harris and Klebold as an aspiration. The solution to this problem isn't to paint all mass murderers in broad strokes as all being "just shitty" nor to portray them as "bullying victims lashing out in revenge", as with all things involving human beings the truth and reality is a lot more nuanced than that.

The mass murder epidemic will not be solved by othering these people. There is no such thing as "being born evil" or "just being bad" - understanding how mass murderers fall into these dangerous thought patterns is important, and pretending as if it could never happen to you or anyone you know is part of the mindset that perpetuates the problem and allows mass murderers to become radicalized before they can be stopped.

[shouting-epicenities-at-you]

Not only does it paint murderers as victims, but it harms real victims of bullying. Just think of all the "quiet kid" jokes people make.

And how arbitrarily victimhood is defined by authority figures.

And how prone people are to blaming everything on the kid with the IEP

And when victims of bullying finally snap, they get treated like they were the real threat all along. It doesn't even matter if the victim only raises their voice, or how long it took to get to that point, because when you're the class scapegoat you will always be at fault no matter how vicious people were to you first.
