How Hollywood Vilifies Bully Victims | Cheyenne Lin

I hope you enjoy my deep dive into the normalization of bullying, how that silences victims, and how Hollywood twists bully victims into villains in order to uphold the status quo that bully victims are petty, dangerous, and undeserving of understanding.

CORRECTION: In this video I have a disclaimer that I use the q-word in a 'reclaimed sense'. This is WRONG. I am NOT part of the LGBTQ+ community and therefore cannot reclaim the word or say the word. I say the word in the video to refer to the LGBTQ+ community and that's wrong. I shouldn't have done that and I'm sorry. I've stopped using the q-word to refer to the LGBTQ+ community for a while now thanks to being helpfully called out by friends, but unfortunately it's still in this video and I’m sorry.
