In real life? It would still be bullying, the intent doesn't matter if the victim is still being harmed - a smaller example when "friends" are always making fun of one friend but it hurts their feelings but the group still continue after being asked to stop ,regardless of the intent it would now move to the bullying category since the person is receiving actual mental harm from the "jokes"
However for this story I don't think it would apply cuz for one it's a comedy fiction and two the guy has clocked him as a tsundere and feels he is only "helping him out" thru his "bullying" so he doesn't feel harmed in any way
Yeah, in real life bullying is defined as "a recurring harassment" so it would be indeed bullying since it keeps happening and sometimes Tamura isn't comfortable with it
well said honestly, such a good explanation and example! but yeah, since this is mainly a comedy– and fictional, it's best to just think of it as... some sort of "friendship" i guess. i have no objections with your statement, and it's definitely objectively true. my comment was made... in a spur of a moment because i was way too excited about the update lol, don't mind it too much!
Nah, I love this story too LMAOOO and since Tamura is kind of a dummy and don't take it to heart I don't really mind it
is it bullying when there's no malicious intent??? kizaki just seems to be keeping tamura as a buddy in his own awkward... clumsy way. tamura doesn't seem to mind or be affected negatively by kizaki's actions, so, is it bullying??? i need to know im actually tweaking
