It's funny how a popular person who talks bad about an "outcast" is labeled a bully and a jerk, but an "outcast" who talks bad about a popular person is considered an amazing human being, amirite?
Not so, most of the time the popular person is insulting the outcast FOR BEING an outcast...where as the outcast will insult the popular person for a real flaw (being a jerk, being lazy, cheating etc.) That's not to say it doesn't happen the other way around (Popular person points out real flaw, outcast insults popularity) it's just that it's more common. And there's no double standard. the person who points out the real flaw is considered kind of rude, the person who bullies someone for their social status is considered a douchebag. That's it.
I agree with you on this. When I read this post, I thought of the "emo" (or whatever) people at my school who are rude to the preppy kids, without actually getting to know them or actually having the the preppy kids be rude to them. More of an indiscriminate dislike of popular kids by outcasts, than disliking them for an actual flaw. Like when people assume that the popular kids are jerks and that the unpopular kids are "real" or "deep". I thought of this as an attack on assumptions.
i went to a small private high school where everybody knew everybody. there was this kid i knew who wasn't popularreally short, in the band, thought he was really smartand he thought it was his duty to be rude to everyone all the time. one time senior year, he made fun of another guy in my class for being stupid. this guy was popular, italian, tan, spiked hair, so jacked he couldn't put his arms down, etc.--think jersey shore. and mr. jersey shore goes "what the fuck is this kid's problem? if you went to the public school near my house, you'd get shoved into lockers every single day. but here, everybody leaves you alone. nobody ever gives you shit. so why are you being such an ass?" and i thought it was actually really profound.
anyway i guess that's kind of the opposite of what this post says but i like that story.
I think the idea's that the popular person often talks shyt about another person for no reason whereas the outcast talks shyt and is a hero for 'rising against the popular person system' or something.

maybe the person's an outcast because they feel the need to point out other's flaws.

shit.
It's okay, we can handle it.
Well, if they talk bad about a popular person who talks bad about them.
then it's two immature people in a stupid fight.
Depends on who either party talks to.
