The kids in my school used to bully others for the dumbest reasons, like not having heelies, owning the wrong handheld console, etc.
No shit kids are gonna tear into each other for using last season's fortnite skins and other bs reasons.
And while the microtransaction hellscape isn't helping, a lot of the time kids will just find stupid excuses to pick on the same "underclass" kid/kids because teachers and parents can't be bothered to deal with toxic social dynamics before they grow into lifelong struggles that permanently stunt a persons professional and social life.
No I'm not salty about it, not at all. /S
This makes me wonder how many kids actually hate fortnite but reluctantly play it to not be left out of what everyone else seems to be involved in. Like I'll play some coop games with friends that I'm not enthusiastic about myself with it being a nice opportunity to hang out, but not being left out of what everyone seems to think is cool as a kid is even harder.
That's just normal, I didn't like playing team games like football as kid but it was fun hanging out with friends. It's not what you do but with whom
That I get with it being an extracurricular school activity. More just imagining some kid who secretly hates fortnite and wonders when the fad will end but year after year the school still plays it. And then they don't want to be ostracized for vanilla skins so spend money on the game they hate angry. Just makes me laugh.
