Why is it that stereotypical bullies in cartoons have the lamest names?

>recent
You fucking retard, this cliche is old as shit.
Fucking Flash was created in the 60s, Jesus Christ you're fucking retarded. Your parents must be real proud.

>spiky blonde faux hawk
>letterman jacket
>obsessed with sports (especially football)
>big and athletic
>total dumbass and autistic
>loved by “jocks” but hated by nerds because they’d always bully them and harass them
This was totally me in highschool, not trying to even project but I was a pretty big guy into sports but also pretty retarded and autistic. The jocks and girls mistook my autism as pure confidence and they thought I was cool for it. I bullied the nerds talking about digimon and cartoons and shit to cover up my own insecurities about having no one in my friend group to talk about it with. If someone in that description bullied you in hs sorry I turned over a new leaf and I’m not a stereotypical jock bully anymore

The kids who were jock bullies in my school did.

Then again, they were only bullies in middle school and mellowed the fuck out by high school.

Don't worry, user. The people that bullied me were townies that were duller than dishwater. They weren't obsessed with sports either. They were just bored because they were boring.

I had a lot of classmates like this, except only two or three were bullies. The rest were either pretty friendly or mere snobby because they were rich.

>Jews portray white jocks as bad guys

Lars is an underrated name, you were simply bullied because you were an inherently uncool dweeb.

Each and every cartoon listed there is from the 2000s, where most people born in the 60s would be 40 and would have dominated the industry demographically.
The easiesr example here is Butch Hartman putting this stereotype into two shows where his self-insert is a social outcast loser.

The only real "jock" guy in my class was actually pretty chill. Some of the people he was friends with were cunts to me but I kinda deserved it since I would quote South Park without saying I was quoting South Park, so they probably thought I actually meant some of the terrible shit I said.

I'm gonna be honest
I don't think jerk jocks are a thing
At least, not anymore
The ones I met in High School were fairly chill, laid back and HAD to be smart to stay on the team
They were social, affable and are leagues above me when it comes to integrating with society

Yeah they died out in the late 90s

>Because those examples are from the 2000s the concept of the bully jock didn't exist beforehand

Leave thread

You still see them at rich prep schools. Where they'll get people damn near killed in hazing rituals. But middle-class jocks are a thing of the past.

>Yeah they died out in the late 90s

Shit.....so I caught the tail end of that trend? If I had been born a couple years later, it could have saved my teenage years a lot of grief.

On second thought, maybe not? Looking back on it, I'd say about 75% of my strife was self-induced.

Yeah, he was actually kind of a sweet dude. Just a real meathead.

Sorry fake fan, you're talking shit.
Ditko's Flash wasn't a jock, didn't have blond hair and didn't wear a letterman jacket.
He was just a standard bully.

He was a fucking football player

Not really. Social dynamics are much more prevalent reason in upper-class schools. You're mostly likely to see modern jerk jocks in schools that place an overwhelming emphasis on sports or that rely heavily on sports for funding, and even then you're probably looking at only a handful of kids who could get away with it.

That's because high school sports stopped being the center of a community's world. It used to be a high school sports team was a big deal, and the star athletes on those teams were given huge amounts of praise and attention not only by their peers but by teachers and even regular people in the community.

So this obviously makes the star athlete get a big head and feel important, and it also allows them to get away with mischief, which emboldens them into ever more extreme feats of misbehavior, including bullying.

There's also the fact that they probably felt a lot of pressure to succeed, and they relieved that by tormenting others. Or it could be that the loners and outcasts, who typically don't go to parties or sporting events, made them question their own social status by seeing somebody who lives completely outside it, and they deal with that insecurity by picking on them.

Lots of theories about why privileged kids bully others.

Schools that place an overwhelming emphasis on sports aren't always separate from upper-class schools. Sure only a handful of kids get away with cases with people getting killed because they were used as tackling practice or told to swim the length of a river. But those are the worst case scenarios. Your garden variety hazing ritual, that doesn't get anyone killed, is still evidence of the jerk jocks being a thing.

When?

Lars is a solid name.

In high school and college you fucking retard.

Was the football player jock always the bad guy? wasn't Flash Gordon this type of character? when did this change?

You've got to back that up with evidence if you're going to get so butthurt about being called wrong

>evidence
How about you search where he got his nickname from, I'm done with your shit bait.

Those names were cool and tough in the 70's when a lot of the writers for the shows in pic related grew up.

It depends on the story, there are still stories with good guy jocks. It's just when you need an easy bully you either go dumb jock or juvenile psychopath because it's easy.

Brink Flag? Who?

Kim Possible guy, he was just thick headed and oblivious to Kim crushing but never a mean guy.
The only bully was Bonnie.

>bullying ppl bc of own insecurities
>now posting on Yas Forums as an adult
aaaaahahahahahahah

They're all just ripoffs of Flash as well as Reggie from Archie.

>when did this change?
Probably when people stopped expecting them to actually be model students and instead just be athletes who happened to attend school once in a while. American college sports culture is honestly gross.

Well that's a manga script in waiting.

>"bully character"
>white blonde jock like lifted straight from the 50s
Is this stereotype ever getting an update or is it gonna be like this forever?

>Brink Flag
Brick Flagg

>manga script
Forget that, make the insecure user a tall, muscular Yas Forums girl who wants to emotionally open up to the gangly little nerd shota and you'd make a crackin' doujin.

Around the 80s the Jock stereotype slowly went from the All American Boy love by everyone to the dumb asshole that is love by everyone.

I want to fuck all of them

Demography of USA changed and suddenly blonde men were "european-looking" / germans and russians aka bad guys.

Have you forgotten so soon the local outrage over the casting change to Flash Thompson in the MCU?

The Kim Possible guy wasn't even a bully.

I never once considered he was a bully or even mildly antagonistic in those movies. He was just as much a loser misfit as the others.

I love Rob Liefeld.

I learned recently that a guy who works in toys said Liefeld was the best toy designer he'd ever met.

how did that even work? Being athletic and into sports to liking cartoons and posting on Yas Forums?

there is a reason why there's a stereotype in cartoons where the bully character is secretly into girly stuff like barbies or my little pony

That's not necessarily tru though, you can't really take what subersive vengefull nerds write about the people they weren't in high scool as if it was a complete reality.

why the bully is always the sports guy?

Give me a cartoon where the jock and Stacy are a nice couple
