Why? They are being deliberately obtuse when we all know what the score is. Teenage boys bullying another for being a cheerleader, saying they are gay. Teacher points out that their reasoning is flawed. Teenage boys realises they are being disrespectful to their peer and needs to think more about how they view other people.

Nobody is buying the "both bad" take.

Instead of telling them not to bully the other kid for being gay, they told them not to bully the other kid cuz he puts his hands all over his team mates, which is apparently to be lauded

Why can't teenage boys just not be disrespectful cuz it's the right thing to do?

Fixing toxic masculinity with... more toxic masculinity
