I dont think he’s actually a pick me

I’m sorry yall but isn’t this just irony because like his intentions were not actually to stop the fight but actually just be seen in a good light for TRYING to stop the fight which later on would minimize the bullying he would get from the dude who was getting beat up, like he literally wanted the guy in the hoodie to keep punching the bully PLUS he didn’t even think the guy would stop ain’t that like opposite of a pick me because he isn’t honestly trying to stop him
LIKE IT WAS CRINGE DONT GET ME WRONG but like would that be considered a pick me
