it's unfortunately normal for kids and more often teens. But at least Anya didn't just take it, she clocked him good (and it made him respect her even though he can't bring himself to acknowledge it publicly)
@hmm Being "normal" doesn't make it acceptable. Children, especially male children are not socialized properly. That problem shouldn't be dismissed by simply saying, "it's normal".
Also, that's my point. Anya can't really "clock" him because her position and Loid's expectations of her forces her to be limited in how she responses to Damien's bullying.
If Damien truly respected her, he wouldn't treat her like that in the first place. Like I said, he bullies her to make himself seem "tough" to others.
Also, this is not the real world, the author could've written anything they wanted, yet they still choose to write this toxic mess, and people eat it up as "cute".
