I'm pretty sure you must have made more DIK choices than just fighting the Jocks if M&J rejected your MC, and if those were your natural responses to those choices, well, you kinda get what you deserve.
Also, I don't see those guys as bullies. They're just lemmings who follow those that bully but don't really do it themselves, and in that moment they were just standing there wondering what was going on and the MC choosing to fight them is him attacking them which is why it's considered a DIK choice since he's the aggressor in that situation.
