I don’t think we ought to normalize or justify bullying as a means to keep people from being annoying — a sentiment that in and of itself could make for a whole article’s worth of conversation — but I do think we should make a habit of politely but directly telling people “hey I didn’t like that”, “that wasn’t funny”, “you are mistaken”, and the like if it’s called for, and more importantly, you should be able to take a “that wasn’t funny” for instance without taking it personally, because protecting a polite harmony where no one can criticize each other, not even politely, is also really, really bad.

This is so real. 99% of the people I see talking about ‘bring back bullying’ will then proceed to describe having a really blunt friend who will just tell them when they are being embarrassing/annoying/incorrect/cringe in some way. Sometimes correcting people means you care enough that you don’t want to see them be potentially embarrassed, but people stray away from doing it because the other person might take offense/you might look like a jerk. You don’t want to be bullied, you just want to break the cultural norm of being overly polite to spare people’s feelings.
