As bad as it sounds some forms of bullying are needed to make kids comply with social norms.

Like no one is going to want to be around you if you stink, but they'll call it bullying the person by isolating them. Not saying it's perfect but it does teach people how to behave and act if they want to be accepted by society. Randoms aren't going to care if someone is autistic and showers make them have a meltdown, they're not going to want to be around the person that smells worse than rotting rubbish. Better to learn that early and fix it.

I knew someone that always smelled like they had rolled around in cat piss. To the point it bothered everyone around her. Naturally this situation only came about because everyone, myself included, was too much of a pussy to just say "you smell like cat piss you need to take a bath" lest we get accused of le bullying.

So instead everyone said nothing and left this clearly mentally ill person wondering why nobody wanted to talk to her. Healthy.

Pretty much. Like it's an awkward conversation but if everyone has been made to play nice before how do they know the norms? Which is worse for them in the long run. Especially when there seems to be this...entitlement? around everyone needing to be your friend. Frankly it kind of seems worse because everyone is going to talk about Stinky Sara being so stinky but not to her.

You basically need some small child to go around pointing it out because adults are expected to have filters lol.
