I'm skinny as hell (still 125 lbs to the day), had some horrible acne in my time (2 bouts of acutane finally stopped that) and played golf for the team at my inner-city high school. Now, while being skinny has nowhere near the stigma of being fat in today's society, beLIEVE me, I've had my share of bullying.
I just never let it bother me. To the day. And while most would think that would lead to "postal" thoughts, I've never had anything remotely close to that, ask anyone that knows me.
Granted, most people aren't like this, thus it's considered not "nice" to laugh at fat people. I will grant you that. But it's a lot cooler when the subject of a joke can see and join in on the amusement. Then no one gets hurt.
I just wish people would stop caring so fucking much about what others thought of them. It's a plague to humanity, this vanity... you think any other animals care if their hair is messed up, or if their metabolism is a little slow?
Though the thing here is... dude coulda been skinny as hell and I still would have laughed at him if he put that much energy into his 'fight sequence'. He REALLY cares about what he's doing and THAT'S what's funny cause... well, look at what he's doing

Humans are the only species to have usurped natural selection. Some of our species ridicule those whom natural selection would have eradicated under different circumstances. Of course our species has also developed the trait of compassion but unfortunately it isn't a species-wide trait.

I guess I gave myself away. I got the living shit beat out of me in grade school on a regular basis but its ridicule that leaves the most lasting impression. As an adolescent things changed drastically. I was on the other side so to speak. Now, as an adult, I like to think I understand both sides to a degree so I hope the kid was in on the joke. For kids like him the best defense is to be in on the joke.
