I feel 20 or so years ago kids that spent money on something that didn't provide a clear benefit would have been bullied. My wife was a gamer, when my son first asked for a gift card to buy a skin it was fun watching him try to explain that there is no benefit and it only changes the look. My wife kept asking him why do you want this?
- amyjess 7y ago20 years ago, kids were being bullied for not wearing Abercrombie & Fitch. I was in high school then. The people who didn't care about aesthetics were always the ones bullied.
- save_ferris 7y agoYou and I grew up in very, very different worlds then. Most things that made kids in my community were purely consumerist. Air Jordans, Pokémon cards, brand name clothes like hollister and AE, and then popular phones like the razer were ubiquitous among those that were popular. Kids who didn’t have those things were bullied relentlessly.
- tripzilch 7y agoThat sounds awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Sounds like an American high school sitcom TV series scene.
- save_ferris 7y agoYep, I’m quite happy to have peaked in adulthood and not in high school.
