I think this shift started a little earlier (at least where I grew up, there was minimal bullying in the early aughts) but also I watched Dazed and Confused for the first time last year and my main reaction as a mid-millennial was “holy shit every character in this movie should be in double jail”
(and zoomers conversely underestimate the extent to which bullying kids over sexual orientation or race was just widely accepted in society and tolerated by authority figures in the 80's, 90's and 00's)
