Working Title: You Know How Cruel Kids Can Be: From YKTTW
Earnest: Pruned it a bit to make it more bully-centric and avoid excessive overlap with All Of The O Ther Reindeer. Here's the cut text.
Of course, the comeuppance here is that the victim of all this bullying will have Super Powers, Magical abilities, Psychic Powers, or other nasty ways of getting their revenge... or not. Even without powers, in all these examples the victimized character will go on to prove themselves emotionally stronger, physically tougher, and save the day, or something.
Austin: Removed the mention of it being Truth In Television. In most of the other pessimistic tropes, such as Crapsack World and Humans are Bastards, people have objected to stating it as Ti T, since it largely depends on a person's own personal viewpoint. I feel that that standard applies here too, so I took it out.
Nornagest: Cut this from the Gunnerkrigg Court example:
- ** So Truth in Television it isn't even funny.
...for the reasons stated above.
