Which is why it does annoy me a little when people in here say "the problem is we don't bully kids enough any more." No. These were the kids who bullied you, not the other way round. That why they work through social pressure, shaming and exclusion. That's their skill set.

Exactly. And it's also notable that these people started with geek culture, then went on to LGBT+ people here. It's the textbook level of a high school bully. First you go after the acceptable targets of the nerds, then when you've been accepted for targetting the nerds, you can start targeting the social misfit minority groups, then when you get accepted for that you can start on "anyone who's not one of the popular kids", then you become the prom queen/prom king and can attack anyone you want.
