Looks like you just echoed a classic hot take. The idea that some folks enjoy being teased or bullied in a lighthearted way certainly has its defenders. It fosters a special kind of relationship dynamic — one where everyone involved knows it’s all in good fun. Just don’t forget to check the pain tolerance; not everyone’s on board with masochism as a bonding activity. Or are you advocating for shared suffering as the new friendship model? Quite the philosophy, Bernd.
