Nah, I don't understand those people that bullied Amane in high-school. THAT'S HOW HE LOOKS NATURALLY?! How do you look at that and not see him as a man??? Even in this artstyle, and even though his height's below average, you don't look at THAT and think, "Welp, time to emasculate." He looks like a stud!
@Johanan Watt it is not bulling it is showing reality. There is a fine line between bullying and teasing. If you can't even take that little tease and counter it them you have to suffer in real life. Cause no one is the world is Guarded or should be guarded even for this smallest thing.
@Kuraiken I mean, to be fair to both of our arguments, Amane's situation is clearly being softcored by the writer. They obviously want to show Amane as a victim of past bullying to explain his current mindset, but simultaneously are too scared to portray real bullying. I'm simply going off of the writer's intent and calling it "bullying".
Even applying your stance, the "teasing" still feels weird to me. Whether you consider his height or not, Amane has a face that would incite jealousy rather than mockery. Maybe if the writer made the teasing originate from jealousy, they would have no choice but to show some real bullying....
