Brutal Incel Trait: Despite bullying being strongly hereditary, you were bullied while your father was a bully

[WorthlessSlavicShit]

Title. Is there any better proof that your personal genetics are utter trash than not only failing to take the school bully position you were primed to inherit from your father, but actually finding yourself on the other end of the bullying spectrum?

Both bullying and victimization, of all types but especially when it comes to physical bullying, are highly hereditary/genetic, as those two twin studies show.

Genetic contributions accounted for 62% and 77% of the variance in bullying and in victimization at pre-intervention, respectively.

Few previous studies have investigated the heritability of bullying behavior. Ball et al. (2008) found the heritability of bullying perpetration to be 61%, and Veldkamp et al. (2019) ~70%, irrespective of type of bullying. In line with these estimates, Dunbar found in her Master’s thesis a heritability of 55%. In addition, several twin studies of aggressive and antisocial behaviors, of which bullying is a specific form (Griffin & Gross, 2004), have found heritability estimates in the range of 40% to 80%

victimization of physical bullying was found to have the highest heritability when compared to, for example, verbal or social/relational bullying (Eastman et al., 2018; Veldkamp et al., 2019).

Phenotypic correlations between all forms of perpetration and victimization are represented in Table 2, separately for boys and girls. The correlations between perpetration and victimization for the same form of bullying were for boys 0.64, 0.65, 0.80, and 0.59 for general, verbal, physical and relational, respectively, and for girls 0.68, 0.72, 0.85, and 0.68.

In a sample of 8215 primary-school children, we showed that individual diferences in the liability to be a victim, bully, or bully-victim are mainly due to genetic diferences between children.

the genetic infuences for both boys and girls were high for all forms of perpetration (~70%), and for general-, verbal-, and physical victimization (~65%), but somewhat lower for relational victimization (55%). The correlation between bully and victim roles was~0.70. This correlation was mostly due to shared genetic factors for the verbal and physical form and mostly due to an overlap in (common and unique) environmental factors for the relational form.

Genetic and Environmental Infuences on Diferent Forms of Bullying Perpetration, Bullying Victimization, and Their Co‑occurrence

And if you think that twin studies aren't exactly it, the second one cites parent-child ones on this topic.

Being a bully or victim tend to run in families (Allison et al. 2014; Farrington 1993). First, with respect to victimization, Allison et al. (2014) showed that a parents’ past history of victimization is associated with an increased risk of their ofspring being victimized. Whereas only 25% of the parents without a past history of being bullied reported that their ofspring was victimized, in the case of parents, who had been victimized themselves, this proportion was 55%. Second, with respect to perpetration, Farrington (1993) observed a comparable inter-generational continuity. Whereas only 5.5% of the fathers who did not bully had children who bullied, 16% of the fathers who were bullies reported that their children were bullies as well. Together, these family-risk studies show that perpetration and victimization are familial, but not whether this familial transmission is genetic or environmental in nature. To determine the role of genetic and shared environmental factors, we require a genetically informative design, such as the twin design.

Curiously enough, the 70-80% heritability of physical bullying role reminds me of the heritabilities of height and weight, which are about 80% and 73% respectively. Quite an interesting coincidence that the roles of a bully and a victim are genetically determined to the same level as the two variables most important in determining who strengthmogs who. But muh, "Everybody can be a bully!" Or even better, I've seen memes where people were like, "When I was a kid I dreamed of being a teacher to punish all the bad kids, but now that I teach I can't even tell who's the bully and who the victim," yeah, sure faggot. You know exactly well who the bullies and the victims are, you just love watching the victims being humiliated as much as the bullies do.

My father is 50+-years-old and still a few years ago randomly made fun of the kid he used to bully decades ago. Meanwhile, I still sometimes have nightmares of how I was bullied in school and can't really stop thinking about it even after all this time.

Unironically this is the one thing that is actually making me reconsider my wish to have children one day. Or at least a son. Before I looked at this topic, I didn't even know how much I hated the idea of bringing a child into this world to go through what I went through. It is overwhelmingly boys who are involved in physical bullying on either side of it, while girls are mostly involved in relational bullying, which those studies note is the least heritable one. That is because the way it works, male bullies participate in physical bullying to show how much they mog weak males to females they want to attract, and the attractive females than compete for them using relational bullying to target their equally or more attractive/sexually successful competitors.

The results of the present study were largely consistent with our initial hypotheses that the frequency of physical and relational forms of bullying and victimization would be heightened when adolescents had more dating and sexual partners than their peers, due to their greater involvement in competition for mates.

As predicted, number of dating and sexual (raw analyses only) partners increased the odds of pure physical bullying, but not pure relational bullying. Furthermore, this finding applied mainly to male participants, as 79% of the pure perpetrators of physical bullying were boys, and none of the female participants in this category had any dating experiences. In addition, greater experience with dating and sexual partners did not elevate the likelihood of physical victimization for adolescent boys, in line with the contention that male perpetrators of physical bullying select easy targets to minimize the costs of their aggression, rather than aggressing against rivals of more equal status (Volk et al., 2012).

These results are consistent with previous research linking overt (including physical) bullying to greater dating behavior, particularly for adolescent boys (Connolly et al., 2000), and to research showing that a composite measure of multiple forms of bullying was related to the odds of ever having dated and number of dating partners (Volk et al., 2015).

In the domain of relational bullying, results were consistent with our expectation that adolescent girls with more dating partners would have greater odds of being a bully-victim, due to their greater involvement in intrasexual competition for mates. As prior theory and research shows, participation in intrasexual competition provides an incentive, particularly for adolescent girls, to use relational bullying to thwart rivals by reducing their appeal to the opposite sex (e.g., Arnocky & Vaillancourt, 2012; Fisher & Cox, 2009; Gallup et al., 2011) and to increase their own dating popularity and dating opportunities (Arnocky & Vaillancourt, 2012; Gallup et al., 2011; Houser et al., 2015; Pellegrini & Long, 2003). Conversely, by virtue of having more dating partners, adolescent girls who are more involved in intrasexual competition may be perceived by female peers as rivals and, due to this competitor effect, be more highly victimized by relational bullying.

Since any daughters I would theoretically have would be all but guaranteed to be fem"cel"-tier, there would be no chance of Stacies having to bully them out of dating and fucking the athletic Chad bullies.

My dad was low inhib fuckboy, im the complete opposite jfl. He was making fun of guys like me.

Bullying makes me want to see humanity die in a hellfire

I'm not into that monkey shit

 

[Sloth Vs Koala]

I was verbally bullied in high school whilst i think my dad was never bullied in school
I'm also sure people made fun of me in private too during middle school and high school

 

[Mr. Agent Clark]

Pin this. I was physically and verbally bullied. My dad was a bully and he told me how he used to bully a kid of his school.

My father is 50+-years-old and still a few years ago randomly made fun of the kid he used to bully decades ago. Meanwhile, I still sometimes have nightmares of how I was bullied in school and can't really stop thinking about it even after all this time.

That’s insane. I would slap the shit out of that senile asshole.
