Difference between Bullying and Roasting...

[Carlton Banks]

I went to summer camp one year, I think I was 11 or 12, and remembered teasing this kid who was real nice , kinda geeky , but overall chill. He talked kinda funny and he wore geeky clothes and that was all it took. I used to get at him for his Pumas and his super short shorts. I think I took it too far one day cuz he started crying and shyt and I felt bad. We all slept in this cabin and he had to bunk in a different room after. I remember we could hear breh in the other room hyperventilating and going crazy like that Cuba Gooding gif. I left breh completely alone after that. I remember all the fake ass nikkas in my room talking bout "you gotta chill" and "you be OD'ing" when these nikkas was right there laughing

Ol fake ass sympathetic nikkas trying to make a nikka feel worse

Anyways ...

Can't lie, after that I never "bullied" anyone again. But reason I put that in quotes is cuz some could say I was just roasting breh. I mean he could've roasted me back and it would've been fine. So my question is ...

What are the key differences?

Is the person that cries just being a p*ssy?

Where do the lines get drawn?

Is the person doing the "bullying" actually bullying or just roasting?

Another example... RIP Pop Smoke. When breh was getting roasted for those bad pics... I looked at it as roasting. Some people say it was bullying. So where do we differentiate the two?

For me, it's roasting when it's somebody you know and are already cool with. Bullying is with a complete stranger and you go overboard with it

It's not a roast if he ain't ya homie and you don't like him.

It's not a roast if he can't snap back

I used to do this when I was younger. When I graduated high school I literally had people coming up to me with testimonials saying they thought me and the crew were bullies. It made me change

[Ya Sinning Mane]

[GilSho]

OP was a piece of shyt as a kid. You only supposed to roast yo homies and family. Smh

Roasting is light hearted rib tickling with no menace behind it usually by people you already know and hang out with. Bullying is the opposite.

 

[letti cook]

roasting should have some back and forth and yall should be cool enough to do that with no feelings being caught

thats all me and my homies used to do...hoop and roast each other

we used to call it "scoring"

a nikka say something slick....we go "is you scoring"...and we at it..good clean fukkery

Roast is different

You roast somebody and talk shyt but you cool and hangout with that person still

Bullying is talking shyt and only talking shyt to that person and not hanging out with them plus bullying usually goes way further than superficial shyt roasts are about and the aim is to hurt the person

 

[WesCrook]

You get back at a bully...........by roasting him

Most of them are insecure. So you give them a scathing verbal beatdown....in front of a crowd of people. They will fold.

 

[Wildhundreds]

You a bully when the person you roasting clearly doesn't want any smoke..

People actually want to live peaceful lives..

Then a mfer snap with the AR then its

We was friends!


I ain't mean to hurt his feelings

He just would never say anything back and just sit there all

Best believe if he were to say ANYTHING back , all the nikkas in the room would've been like "OOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!! "

But he would just be mad quiet even when I set him up with the alleyoop

Which added on to the guilt

 

[Carlton Banks]

OP mean as hell

Stop!

He was supposed to say something back!


Would've had everyone in our cabin like

Whole point of roasting is that it involves people who got love for each other so they know no matter what is said it’s all love at the end, you bullied that kid. The fact you kept going at him even when it’s obvious he didn’t want the smoke showed that.


Unless someone is being an a$$hole to you just leave muthafukkas alone

It's roasting if it's their fault. They did something stupid or funny, and get clowned deservedly. IE: Somebody lies about slamming ass and gets exposed and clowned.

It's bullying if it's completely undeserved. IE: You just randomly start talking shyt about a person, just because they look funny, or are different.

With roasting there is a lesson involved. Next time don't lie about slamming ass with Dominican milfs. With Bullying there is no lesson, the victim has no clue how to avoid that situation in the future.
