Bullies exist so you can man up or be the eternal basement dweler virgin, it has nothing to do with being a nerd, i am a huge nerd, i like comic books, manga, anime, videogames, hot wheels, pokemon, whatever you think; and in highschool i was "bullied" cuz i have freckes and was a fat asshole (yes i called myself a fat asshole cuz like any other fat asshole thinks that they can solve all their problems by eating, like potheads smoking grass) but there was a day i decided to stop the abuse and had my fight with my bully, and after that, no more bulling. And here i am, i put on a healty diet, had my prom with an random girl, went to law school, found my better half, after graduation we got our jobs and decided to take things to the next level, and now instead of having our daily dose of fights we tear each other heads in Tekken 7 what more i can say?
But now kids cry and call mommy, daddy, the principal, twitter and FBI cuz another kid called them nerd, meatball, whatever, so they solve their own kiddy problems... just WTF the world is going to?
But at the end, and IMHO Erik is just meatball that has no redeeming qualities and and deserves to be completely erased by Thanos, so the MC can conquer his fking absolutely hot notmom, and the cute chubby hentai cosplayer girl
PS:
Cpt. Terry and Tony are much better friends to MC that the fleshlight fker of Erik...
