I'm talking about that Christmas story of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. He was born different from the other reindeer, and as a result, they mocked, belittled, and bullied him, until of course, he was able to provide utility to the group.
It was usefulness that saved him, and nothing else. Nobody said or did anything to stop the bullying before he became useful; not even the one adult in the situation, Santa, did anything to stop it. It's a good reflection of reality, and a horrible lesson to teach to children. And I know many normies are going to say "b-b-but, the moral of the story is that it's not okay to bully someone for being different! " You're retarded if you think that's the lesson being conveyed here; if it was, someone would have stepped in to stop the bullying before Rudolph proved his usefulness, not after. Notice, too, that the other reindeer didn't have to prove their own utility in order to be accepted by others; some of them could be worthless as shit, and they still found acceptance, because they were born like everyone else, they were born "right," and so they fit right in. No, the way things went is that Rudolph was being brutally bullied until Santa found a use for his oddity. And this is exactly the lesson that children are getting out of it, too.
If that weren't the case, then I ask: why is it that, despite having seen the movie which was shown very early on in elementary school, my peers in school took nothing away from this movie, except perhaps that weird kids, those born different, can be bullied freely, unless they provide some utility to everyone else? They saw the movie at a young age, and yet, I was bullied from Kindergarten all the way up through high school graduation. The lesson of "it's not okay to bully someone, period" was clearly lost on them, if they ever cared to learn it at all, which would just reinforce the point that people think it's okay to bully others for being different, anyway. And it's funny how Santa not stepping in to stop it all had parallels to real life, too: just like Santa, the adults in my life while I was growing up did absolutely fuck all to stop my peers from tormenting me. So even if the problem isn't with the story itself, or with the children themselves, then it most certainly is with the adults that are raising and looking after the children as they grow up, and bully and socially stunt the awkward loner kids.
It's a sobering example of art imitating reality, but an even graver example of art setting an example for children, so they can grow up to be assholes, cunts, and douchebags, just like their piece of shit parents that don't know how to raise them properly, and the school administrators who can't be bothered to do their job and look after the most vulnerable children they've been put in charge of handling. And thus, the cycle of abuse and neglect is perpetuated by their own hands; everyone is directly responsible for our suffering.
