Hi Bye, I'm sorry to hear that you too experienced bullying. Nobody should have to experience that.
My comment wasn't specifically addressing you, though I admit that I was triggered by what I saw as an attempt to trivialise and even excuse bullying in your comment. But I shouldn't have worded it the way I did and for that I apologise.
I would however like to point out (again, not specifically directed to you, although it does concern something you said) that having been bullied does not preclude bullying others in turn. Again, not saying this is something you have done, just that many people have experienced both, often without being aware of it, since being the perpetrator doesn't cause hurt and trauma in the same way as being the victim does. Many bullies, when confronted years later, don't even remember the incidents, while they have left indelible scars on the people they bullied. It's also very common for bullies to find valid (to them) excuses for how they have treated someone, or even outright blaming the bullying on the victim, thereby compunding the damage done by denying them even the right to feel outraged by the treatment.
I don't know what type of bullying you experienced. But I would like to stress that there is a difference in impact between persistent bullying that goes on every day for years and years from everyone around you, and bullying that occurs during a limited period of time by a smaller number of people and then ceases. Both are terrible and frightening and hurtful, but the former causes a very deep trauma for the victim because it can totally destroy that person's sense of self-worth for years, sometimes even for life. And that is what I see in Hira.
Some of you really need to take a chill pill and relax!!! Y’all are all up in arms over a fictional show! I…
You wrote: "I hope that you guys are this vocal when you see it happening around you instead of just going wild over characters that aren’t even real." You can bet your arse I do. That's why I can't stand it when people try to trivialise it. I have no objection to seeing it depicted in any media, as long as it's taken seriously and not treated as something trivial or fun or even excused. I agree that it's up to the viewer to watch that kind of content or not. I just want people to call it what it is.

I 100% agree. Anyone who doesn't see this as bullying has probably never been bullied themselves. I might go as far as to say that it's likely they did some bullying of their own while telling themselves they were simply "honest" or "funny". This comment may come across as salty. That's because I have first hand experience of what bullying is. Both for my own part and for close family members. It has been deeply traumatising, and I won't stand for people trivilialising it.
Personally I thought episode 6 is probably the best so far! It's definitely my favourite.
Um, you are making a lot of assumptions about me. Please don't do that. It seems to me that you have made up your mind to not like it, and there's not much I can do or say about that.

I don't agree that we're at the exact same spot. There was some necessary character development here, both for Aoki and Ida. I agree more with what aprilnwright wrote above.
