That goes for a lot of other masculine things from the 2000s like football, boxing, working out, etc. I got bullied by sociopaths in my school for 3.5 years. They were smug, violent, gaslighting bullies who didn't just terrorize me, but a select group of other nerds in school who didn't have any support. Try to imagine a dudebro, but slightly intelligent and willing to hurt people for fun and is able to get away with it because the school is complicit. I was forced to fight a linebacker twice my size and was bullied harder for losing. I was drawn as a dog, told I would be worthless when I grew up, was bullied by teachers, etc. In a few instances they even bullied disabled people. Now when I look at sports, combat tournaments, or even certain games like Halo/Gears of War I associate it with them. I still go to the gym but it's...idk..painful? Unpleasant? I feel like I'm associating myself with these people when I do and it reminds me of them which now and again leads to a relapse of me remembering what they did to me for like 10 minutes or so.
Anyone else got similar issues?
